I absolutely LOVED it. I saw A Christmas Carol and of course it was REMARKABLE, well done, well casted, technically and artistically beautiful......perfect to script with funny punchy additions.Now listen... I intend to perform there in the near future. I absolutely LOVED the room.I look forward to watching many productions and meeting YOU there.Thank you for the glorious time.

I had an amazing time! This place was stunning! As we pulled up I was in awe. The play was excellent! Overall I had a wonderfully amazing experience! Minus a guy telling me to stop singing during the musical lol.

Nice theater, nice play... I found The Canadians good, and Id say great if they didnt use expletives a lot near the start and end, mostly, of the play. (I cant see Canadians from a small town in Manitoba to be that seasoned on expletives so much... Toronto, maybe.)We were in the Argos theater there, the small one, so you didnt need binoculars to see the actors well.(If anyone knows how to contact the guy playing the shy guy in the play, send me his info, please... Hes gorgeous!)

Always a great time at the Rep! Finally saw the annual Christmas Carol and was it ever worth it! Thanks for keeping theater alive right in our back yard.

Great shows!

Got to enjoy a presentation of A Christmas Carol starring Hal Landon as Scrooge in his 40th straight year in the starring role. There were some minor new twists to make it slightly different from previous years, but have no fear, Hal hit the top hat trick again. Bring your red scarf.

Playhouse theater that everyone in Orange County should go to. This place is small and intimate. Really a great theater to see a play.

We thoroughly enjoyed the performance of Christmas Carol. it is a nice performance space with no bad seats, and the production was quite good.

A Christmas Carol at SCR is the BEST production of this show!!! A must see to put you in the holiday spirit. This is a wonderful theater.

Superb, Tony-award winning theater. Not a bad seat in the house.

Nice, small performing arts space.Great acoustics, not a bad seat in the house...

Saw The Canadians with my 92 year old mother who is from Canada, eh? and my 30 year old son who just graduated with theatre arts degree. This was a very good play and we all enjoyed the extremely gay Canadian humour!!!!

My family has been taking me since I was a kid and I have yet to be dissappointed. Wonderful performers, and excellent production are the hallmarks of South Coast Repertory.

Lovely experience. Great time and got ridiculously lucky. So it all worked out

South Coast Repertory consistently puts on insightful, challenging, and humorous plays. We started going consistently over the past several years and have loved our time at the theater. They get skillful actors. It ends up being an immersive experience once you sit down and turn off your cellphone.

Love going to this theater! High quality productions, amazing artists. Were so fortunate to have a company like this in our community.

Always great plays and casts. The Canadians is a good example of how entertaining and fun THEATRE can be.

This field trip was wonderful. The people were so nice and the theater was so clean.

This is a great, I take classes here and they are very nice the instructors ate very kind, the shows are very high quality!

Nice time. Theatre was clean. Ushers were helpful. And best of all, play was really top notch. We saw M butterfly and we enjoyed to quality acting.

Nice intimate theater, every seat has a good view of the stage.

Great performances. Inventive stage design.

Great theater....Good seats even in the back...And its local.

Really enjoyed seeing A Christmas Carol at the SCR.

Was my first time here. Nice theater. Looks like any seat is a good seat here. Saw Sweeney Todd and it was great. All actors were on point!

The play American Mariachi was funny, entertaining and close to our Mexican culture. Loved it.

Always great and we just need to come more frequently

Cozy and clean theatre. Parking is a walk.

Not much of a play person, but the Rep was comfortable and the performance was well done.

Excellent place the theater was great nice atmosphere.

A Christmas Carol is wonderful every year!

She Loves Mewas full of fun & liveliness

Fabulous presentation of American Mariachi. Highly recommended.

A good play, based on the Barber of Seville. Excellent. Show was over 2 hours. It went fast, it didnt lag.

An excellent concert hall for any kind of performance you want to see. Gives you a very wide-open feeling, and the seats are comfortable as well. For a guy that is six-foot-five, there is also plenty of legroom no matter where you are in the theater. No matter what show comes through town, I would always recommend using this venue

I work here. It’s cool.

Visiting South Coast Repertory to see Culture Clash in America. Fabulous 90 minute play by Ric Salinas, Richard Montoya & Herbert Siguenza on stage until January 30th.The ushers were kind and helpful, the office staff when I purchased my tickets made the call awesome and the location itself is intimate and appealing. Bravo!

Great place to go and see the play. If you are senior you can get tickets just before the show for only $39. That is a great bargain. Im planning to go to see Shakespeare in Love this afternoon. Great resource for the community.

Very nice theatre. People very friendly.

I love this dang theather. I was impressed to see how fancy it was and I was suprised that it was very well kept. The actors were great and I had a good chuckle here and there. I think this place is absolutely fantastic and would highly reccomend it to anyone who likes live entertainment. This is my first time at a theather and I just love how good it is. Though I have 1 question for you South Coast peeps, How much do these people get paid?

We saw a Christmas Carol. Second time. Its phenemonal. The actors are so talented

Best Theater in OC

Foul language is no place in a respectable theatre. It is not only repulsive, but diminishes the message of the play. I am referring of course to the latest play by Qui Nguyen, Poor Yella Rednecks. I was looking hard for a lofty or uplifting message as was described in Kimberly Golburns article. It is not progressive or modern or uniting humans. I felt attacked and belittled as an American (I am not White). Perhaps a play like this will find a place in Vietnam. As far as I recall, I left Vietgone before the end.However, the acting was good and the choreography was smart.The play by the three Hispanics found too many faults and racism in the American society. If America is so racist, why stay here? I assume in their home countries life is so much better. I left in the intermission.I prefer the good old plays of years ago.

Just saw Kings last night. Thought provoking well written play. Exceptional actors.

I have been a subscriber for 37 years. They always do a good job. High production values. Great casting, sets, lighting. They give fresh interpretations to classic theatre and give opportunities to see new pieces as well. Beautiful, comfortable theatre - not a bad seat in the house. I highly recommend SCR.

Tonight I saw Culture Clash, Still in America, at the Argyros Theater. This show combines humor, wit, biting social commentary along with liberal doses of references to Orange County people and places. The show will continue for a week. Take advantage of the $20 rush tickets and go!

Beautiful place , amazing outdoor for a cocktail

Went to S. Coast Rep after coming home from NY and leaving a Broadway play because it was terrible. In contrast to my Broadway experience, the show at the Rep was great and the venue much better than the Broadway location.

Excellent professional theatre classes. Well orchestrated three year theatre conservatory for youth and adults. Professional teachers and friendly admin staff.

American Mariachi was wonderful!

Great place to watch plays. Intimate theatre. Very modern. Productions are incredible.

Loved it! Thanks Mom!

Had the wonderful pleasure of working here this past weekend on the Crossroads project. What a beautiful Theater!!! The staff are some the most personable, out-going folks I have had the the chance to meet here in the LA theatre community. I cant wait to come down to see a show during their upcoming season.

Very nice production of Jane Austins Sense and Sensibility. Good parking at South Coast Plaza.

Saw Kings. Lovely small theatre. Clean with good service.

Great theatre! Enjoyed Photograph 51 immensely!

Always amazing shows. Ive never been disappointed in any of the dozen or more plays Ive seen here

Enjoyed the behind the stage~Tour

Had fun learning new rountine.

Saw American Mariachi, amazing show

Absolutely loved seeing a play their last night. The staff was very sweet and it was a very nice intimate atmosphere coupled with beautiful gardens outside.

Wonderful theatre, tucked around the back of a larger, better theatre. Saw Amadeus right before Peter Shaffer died and it got all popular. Wonder if that drove up ticket prices?

We were incredibly disappointed with our experience yesterday at South Coast Rep. My parents (season ticket holders for 25+ years) purchased A Christmas Carol tickets over the phone for the whole family, including my two kids age 6 and 4.5. No one on the phone stated there was an age restriction for the show, even when my mother informed them that the two kids tickets we were purchasing were for a four and a six-year old. Imagine our incredible disappointment when we arrived with the family and were turned away at the door.Had they been kind, empathetic or the slightest bit apologetic, we would have been disappointed but understanding. However, the House Manager David Nguyen was beyond rude to us. He clearly did not care about our plight and shouted, I wont make exceptions for you or anyone else! That was when my daughter started crying. When we asked him if they would refund our money, his curt reply was, I dont know- that is not my department. One would think that a person with manager in his title would be well-versed in customer service, particularly when the venue made the mistake in the first place by selling us tickets even though they were told the ages of our children. Sadly, this manager was rude, surly, inappropriate and he had a complete lack of empathy or customer service. They never once said they were sorry.We left with two crying children in tow because they denied us admittance to a childrens play. My season ticket holder parents are cancelling their tickets and we are looking into supporting other venues. SCR should be totally ashamed of themselves. And their uncaring, ill-mannered manager, David Nguyen should get some serious customer service skills training. We will not be back.

Beautiful facility.

One of my favourite regional theatres in Southern California offering a balanced repertoire of new and classic plays/musicals. Also, one of a handful of theatres providing professional childrens theatre regularly.

Very good repertory theatre. Enjoyed performance in an intimate setting.

Enjoyed The Canadians

Fantastic repertory venue! Subscriptions available at a discount for students and under-35. Quality shows with talented performers.

We purchased the membership tickets last year. Not sure we will do it this year. Nevertheless they were good shows

Great productions for all tastes. The theater doesnt really have a bad seat for most productions.

I been attending and photographing the plays at South Coast Repertory Theater since the mid 80s, and though Ive enjoyed plays at various venues throughout Southern CA (as well as New York and London), none compare to the remarkable productions of SCR. For ambiance, intimacy, comfort, superior acting, acoustics, play selection, and aesthetic excellence to the nth degree, Ill take South Coast Rep over any other every time.

Great theater. Enjoy the shows here very much.

The place is nice. The play was very enjoyable.

Excellent actors

Always fabulous

Great performance in a great venue. Every seat is a good one.

We attended last nights performance of Chinglish (2/21/2013). We sat in Row F, seats 15 & 17. The performance was good - from what I could hear of it. This was the first performance I have been where the actors did not have a mic or audio system of some type. When the actors turned their backs to us, it was difficult and sometimes impossible to understand what they were saying, especially when they spoke in hushed tones. Even high school plays have an audio system or microphone for the performers. I was very, very disappointed that last nights performers did not. I felt sorry for the audience in the back rows.

Great little up close theater

Wonderful experience

Love love loved the acting classes it was very professional and it inspired me to become an Actress!!

Not open now but looks fabulous.

Love love love it!

I love this theater. Excellent venue, fantastic productions.

Local theatre!! Support the arts!

No free parking, but there is a parking structure very close, $12

Best small venue professional playhouse in the United States.

Truly wonderful arts venue

Contemporary and beautiful performing arts space in Orange County.

Nationally acclaimed theatre

First rate in every way.

Best acting classes for teens.

Perhaps the deepest level in the abyss of culture that is Orange County.

Classy place

Dance Party was Cool!!

Great venue for a play

Enjoyable concert, beautiful surroundings.
