★★★★Roger WoodSeats always too tight for tall people. My AFO made it a painful seating. But clean and nice theather.
★★★★★Victor CastroGreat family theater with fantastic productions that are kid friendly. My daughter was on the cast of Charlotte’s web with both adult and kid actors. The play was very professional and well done but still friendly for kids. The theater itself is modern and spacious. Shows are on the weekends and also during the day on weekdays attracting large school groups. A fantastic asset for Boston.
★★★★★Jennifer WhiteWheelock Family Theatre provides family friendly, accessible and inclusive professional theatrical productions and educational experiences. Performances are top-notch and give young actors an opportunity to share the stage and learn from seasoned professionals. Educational programs over weekends or vacation weeks allow young students from Pre-K through high school a chance to learn all aspects of theatre arts in a welcoming, joyful, supportive manner.
★★★★★James OehlerWent to see the play Annie. So so good! Such talent all the way around - actors, crew, orchestra. And affordable! Highly recommended. Comfortable seating, better leg room than most theaters and very clean.
★★★★★John EgersheimThis performance was quite impressive! The story was cute. The performers did awesome! This method of theater is new to me! They did a really great job! I would bring my kids again in a heartbeat! I've seen many performances in this theater since I was 8 years old. I'm now 52. I'm looking forward to many more!
