Im extremely blessed to know the staff of this amazing theater company! They Include every person interested in theater including people with Extreme functional disabilities even if they have to find other ways to have them do the job without paying them. I am one of those people who get to work with them.

The staff is great, the actors are wonderful and it was only an hour long! This place is perfect for the 5 year olds we brought

Quaint and cozy theater, with very professional performance and a great bar. Most of the seating is comfortable, but book early because the overflow seats are folding chairs. Great group of people running it, plus you can get 15% dinner discounts the night of the show at some good to excellent local restaurants.

We saw A Christmas Carol and it was awesome! The cast was great, the version of the story was non-traditional, which made it very entertaining and funny (way better than the original in my opinion)! The venue itself is smaller, but perfect for seeing a play. It has a nice bar/sitting area with a wide selection of drinks to enjoy before & after, and there are no bad seats in the entire playhouse when watching the performance. This was my first time there, and I would definitely go again!

I went to see the conspiracy particular Theather. Not for everyone it was nice.There is only 2 bathroom for each sex-so line. Is clean. The bartenders are polite.Most of the crowd were olderly abd snobbish. But I will definitely go again.

I saw Once here, twice. The intimacy of the theater made it a magical experience. Living in the Springs, I haven’t had the opportunity to see other shows yet, but I can only imagine that it would enhance nearly any experience.

Had a fantastic time. Small playhouse but the staff is amazing. Not a bad seat in the house with the size and you feel part of the play

I went to see our town tonight and the theatre was beyond wonderful. The performance was beautiful and heartbreaking. The theatre itself was a intimate space, the seats were very comfortable, and there was a bar, you could even take your drinks in. Overall the experience was superb and I cannot wait to come back.

Saw A Christmas Carol here with family, it is a small theater. We sat left of the stage and had our view obscured by a pole seemed like you would need to be sitting center on the stage to not have an obscured view. The play was well done and enjoyable. Drinks were served at the bar with special holiday drink with water available from water coolers with cups

Review №23

WOW! We saw Young Arthur (for kids), and since it sounds like much of the cast is consistent, well be back for more! The production balanced actual story with hamming it up; madcap action with audience participation and it was all within arms reach... The bar has quality selections, too.

I went with my son for a field trip. It was not only funny for the kids but also adults. The actors were amazing and very interactive. I would recommend this for a good family time for all ages.

My kids and I love the childrens plays. Kids are invited on stage to be part of the experience, and the twists on old tales are always hilarious. They only hire the best actors and actresses, and we always have the best time!

Local theater should be relevant and quirky. I recently went to see the play Lungs and I was surprised to find myself riveted during this performance. Sure there are some slow spots and I heard one curmudgeon behind me huff out This is not funny--but it was a delightful 90 minutes of thinking instead of silly paging through instagram and posting some likes. And we all discussed later why it might be titled the way it is....but Im not telling! Ticket prices are modest, accommodations fun, and you should go experience your own day out.

We saw Skull in Connemara a couple weekends ago. The performance was very well done and intimate. I was impressed by the dedication of the regular ticket holders we had the pleasure of sitting next to. They were extremely complimentary of the consistent quality. (Great bar tender and bar prices too).

Review №38

Took my 3 year old son to the Nutcracker today and it was simply wonderful! They did such a great job including the children and making them part of the show it kept everyone very entertained. This experience has me looking at becoming a season pass holder. It is a small theater but was charming in everyway. We had a wonderful time!

Review №39

Fairfield was an absolutely laugh-out-loud funny play. Each of the actors personified their characters perfectly. The story was understandable: sometimes simple incidents and/or good intentions go very, very wrong and life becomes chaos for everyone! The writer took advantage of that and turned it into a hilarious story.

We like everything about this theater. The selection of plays and musicals covers a wide range of entertainment and the performers are always good. The theater is small and almost every seat is good -- except for ones at the far ends against the walls. We discovered this theater several years ago and try to attend every performance. The new director is doing a great job!

We are currently at the play and yes I would rather being writing a review than watching the play!!! We find ourselves going to plays on a regular basis and try to everywhere we go. I have to say I am beyond disappointed with the Miners Alley... My husband and I were looking forward to a great evening with our 2 high school ages girls that are currently on spring break... When we walked in we immediately notice ALL of the seating is reserved for season ticket holders. We sat on the very end by the entrance (literally on the side of the stage, since the doorways take up the good seating) and that was the best NON-RESERVED seats in the house.... Everyone that walked in after us commented on the fact that they would be stuck in the corner just because we dont have season tickets... They literally have OLD hotel style table chairs with no padding and no arm rests crammed in amongst the theatre seating.... The play was absolutely the worst play I have been to... The ONLY thing we laughed at was the fact that the reserved seating area got smoked out by the firecracker they set off. They coughed for 20 min and held handkerchiefs and arm sleeves over their mouths to be able to breath... Please dont get me wrong, I am not a rude person and dont enjoy people suffering at all, the reason we laughed is because that was the ONLY point were we actually had good seats. This play/theatre wont ruin us from adventuring to new theatres, we just wont be back and want to warn other goers, especially newcomers... If it was our first time to a theatre unfortunately... We would never go again.

I went yesterday to see a play here, The Little Shop of Horrors. It was done really well for being such an intimate venue. Ive read a few previous posts about seating, but come on people! This is a small, local venue. They are funded by the monthly members so dont expect to come last minute to get front row seats! I sat on the side, opposite the band, and I had an amazing time! The actors are 10 feet away from wherever youre sitting, and you cant beat that! The play was well done with really good actors (the singing was craze-amaze) but at the end of the show, one of the cast members had an injuy and they had to end the show a few minutes early. I was not at all angry by that, I just hope whoever was injured was okay (and I think she was). Id give a standing ovation to all the actors in the play. I love live productions because you just never know what youre gunna get...and thats the fun of it! For anyone passing through town, check them out, grab a cocktail at their small bar, and enjoy the show! Oh, and I wish it was 18+ only because there were some teens and younger children in the crowd who just took up space.

The local community theater house. No real national touring acts. A very sloppy Neighborhood Playhouse, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Its small its inside of a strip mall, but it does have some kind of ambiance

Review №83

Worst excuse for a play I have ever seen! HIR was sheer garbage and a waste of money. I made it to the intermission and walked out! If you are going to perform trash like this you should put a disclaimer on your website! Oh and before you slam home school families, you should educate yourself a little better so you know what you are talking about. Sad very sad!!!
