Saw the Nutcracker here last night. It was a great show. We were in the Schneider Theatre and there wasn’t a bad seat in the house. Our seats were row E towards the middle. Great seats! But even if you were further back, it’s a smaller theatre so you can’t go wrong.

So special. Ballet, theater, art, gifts all under one roof.

I absolutely adore this theater. Ive seen at least half of their shows over the last couple years. For those who cant normally afford to go to the theater, you should check out their PWYC (pay what you can) nights. Also, if youre under 30 years old, I believe you can get tickets for $17. The talent here is incredible and they are worth paying full price, but dont let the cost stop you from seeing a show.

This is a small venue and there is not a bad seat in the house. Its one of my favorite theaters. Everything about this theater is top notch. From the greeters to the technical crew and everything in between. You wont be sorry.

This building doubles as the Bloomington city hall and the community art center. It has classes for many different skills; cooking to sculpting to singing. On top of that it has a powerful musical theatre program and many devoted employees. There is always a showcase of a certain genre or style of art when you visit.

Great art exhibits that change every 4 to 6 weeks. I never tire of coming here. And better yet, its free!

Fantastic twin cities performance venue. Ive been a regular audience member for the past few years of the Monroe Crossing: A Bluegrass Christmas. I am excited to see other offerings here. Despite my not being close to this theater it is definitely worth the trip from downtown Minneapolis. I look forward to future shows here.

Great theatre company in the heart of Bloomington!The customer service during the ticket purchasing and before the show is great!The quality of the product are top notch! Each show is led by excellent actresses & actors working within beautiful sets and often times feature a live band/orchestra.I cant recommend enough! Buy a ticket, sit back, and enjoy!

An excellent space for all sorts of events. I go to the farmers market weekly here in the summer where they have a plethora of fresh veggies and food trucks, and have also been in for many plays and the nutcracker ballet. Staff is friendly, and their a rotating art exhibit by the entrance that always has something interesting on display to check out. Convenient location as well, next to PD, DMV and other public services.

Saw Legally Blonde. Talented cast, no bad seats in this venue. Come early to look at Art Gallery prior to shows. Love the fact that they offer great seat prices for theater patrons 30 and under.

This is an AWFUL art gallery. They have MAYBE two rooms with a few scarcely scattered paintings. Good thing its free.As for the plays put on here - they are good. The tickets are EXTREMELY expensive for a community theater. Heres a trick. Buy the tickets for the pre-opening night. They are tickets for the last dress rehearsal but the show is the same as the regular one, but for an absoloute FRACTION of the cost.

Weve been coming to productions here for years now. Always pleased with the selection of programs and quality of the acting. We have season tickets for black box and Schneider theaters. My favorite production so far was the scarlet pimpernel (sp?).
