The venue was so much nicer than I expected! This is a great venue for new entertainers to debut their talents if they are looking to present themselves well in the professional manner. There is a nice foyer wherr a table can be placed to accept tickets right in front of the door leading into the theater room. Inside the theater is very spacious! It is also very close to some popular Houston restaurants (Taste Bar is approximately 5 minutes away). Great experience!

Great little gem for small events and performances

Awesome Awesome Place.. everytime I see a play there. I ALWAYS come away impressed.

Love exposing my children to cultural events. More Than Christmas was phenomenal. The sound was great, the lighting was pleasant, the seating wasnt too congested. Everything was perfect!

A friend envited my girlfriend and I to a play at the Ensemble theatre. The play was great and the characters really performed there said parts to convey their performance to the audience.

The show selections are diverse. Parking was tricky but easy to access. Read the signs. I would love to go more. The last play I saw was Awesome and so Real!

Ive been attending productions at the Ensemble for years and each time Im amazed by the brilliant talent that resides within Houston!! Such a refreshing take on theatre - I love seeing people that look like me, consistently and beautifully represented on the stage!

Each time Im in Houston, I come to the legendary African American owned Ensemble Theatre for a show. Their shows are always full of vibrant energy.

Had a great time seeing More Than Christmas. Its a nice venue and theres seating outside of the main theater for intermission. They have a concession stand as well.

Really an awesome experience. There are no bad seats and the people who work there and the patrons are super welcoming and sweet. My daughter and I had an awesome time. We are now trying to enroll her into their theater class. Good job guys

The play was good, but the location did not have any working air. We had sit in the theater with no air and to make matters worse we had to pay for water which should have been free due to the conditions that we were sitting.

We had a wonderful time at The Ensemble Theater. We were greeted at the door, Everyone was so friendly. Sometimes we laughed until we almost cry. Afterward we had a chance to talk to the cast. We had a great time.

Most of the plays are entertaining and some has history included. A good place to relax and enjoy your self.

A wonderful staple in the community, I regularly find myself following their performance calendar. Its location is perfect for dinner and a date.

Rita Taylor production. I love her plays. Creative with a Christian message. Keep up the great work Rita.

Because my sister, Sam is there along with so many other talented singers, dancers and actors! I love that the Ensemble has consistent actors casted in their shows.

Went to see Josephine and it was amazing!!! The cast was awesome and the singing was amazing. The atmosphere was nice and intimate. Theater might be small compared to most but the show was still full of power. Nothing was lacking.

This place is great. The cast in a produces does a great job with the plays

Enjoy the performances ,always feel like I am having private performance .The cast and directors are excellent

Fun shows and great talent! Beautiful stagespace and lobby. The shows are excellent, great place for dates, or family night out.

Great play...The Green Book! Intimate , Just right theater atmosphere!

Nice location and atmosphere for events. Parking is reasonable.

Great place for black culture, super friendly folks and a intimate atmosphere for the plays.

Wish I could put a 10 on The Ensemble performances love going there keep on going

The Ensemble has a history of bringing culture and awareness. Ive always enjoyed productions there because it showcases talented African Americans doing excellence.

Totally a great experience for my grandson who performed there.

It is always a treat to see a show here! a black owned theatre with a great production each season. seen a couple this season and will be back soon!

They put on such amazing performances. Its a hidden gem.

Intimate theatre. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

What an amazing performance... Too Heavy for Your Pocket! Very well put together and acted out... Loved each role, and the artist put their heart into the character. Absolutely loved it!!!

Every time I go see a play awesome actors

The theatre is just big enough that you can experience & enjoy the plays. I enjoyed my visit.

We have a event there every year. EVEN A MAN CAN HAVE A BROKEN HEART sponsored by Mary Gilder author

Pipeline was a fabulous production with awesome actors! EVERY season, The Ensemble delivers fantastic productions, great sets, top talent, and relevant scripts that resonate with all of us. I look forward to renewing my subscription EVERY season

Green Book is a great play. Support the theater

Its a nice place to hold meetings and celebrations!

Had a wonderful time @ The Green Book play .

Too Heavy for You Pockets ... Everything was beautiful from the gStaff to the host to the actors to the building to the clean restroom to the concession stands. Was a wonderful experience. Dress code is church attire.

My experience at the Ensemble Theater was wonderful. The play was delightful and the staff were gracious and helpful. I will definitely return.

Someone music is to loud to hear actors clearly otherwise great atmosphere and wonderful entertainment!

A lovely place to watch inspiring plays

Very nice theater. Parking close by

What a powerful theater and company. The show we saw was very well directed and acted. The company of the play Pipeline was on point!

Quality performances. Intimate atmosphere.

Had a blast watching “The Christmas play” really enjoyed everyone. Those actors & actresses were phenomenal keep up the great work.... The people was chosen for each character excellent.

Really great actors and a powerful, thought provoking story. Overall a really enjoyable experience. Im looking foward to returning for a new play.

My book club, Girlfriends on the Same Line attended a show here recently. The Greeters and Ushers were very welcoming and our show Christmas is Coming Uptown was wonderful! Well definitely be looking into attending more shows.

One of my favorite venues for special events

Love the experience of going to a play.

We drive from Beaumont to see black Theater ever other month.Support the arts

A great environment where the whole family can enjoy a play

This quaint theater is a gem.

The plays are always on point or very entertaining. The parking can be a real problem though.

Simply amazing! You must come for the experience. Josephine Tonight is playing June 27-July 27.

The Ensemble Theatre is a great place to go to enjoy the Arts, it is a amazing. The entertainers are super talented, I love the Ensemble.

Great play and wonderful theater Good company

We enjoyed the performance. We were waitlisted and ended up second row from the front! Nothing bad to report a wonderful way to spend Sunday afternoon. By the way if you get a chance Freeda Peoples is an excellent play.

Went for the Black Experience during TSU Homecoming. Lovely party full of lovely people

The theater is very intimate so there arent any bad seats. The actors were great and stayed after to answer questions from some students attending.

Great place for you to host an event.

Great production...even greater cast

I love the play Too Heavy For Your Pocket Great cast!!

I love the plays they put on, they make you wanted go back for more

Great place to have an event! Very spacious with a stage. Was able to have a dinner-styled graduation that for a small graduating class. They provide basic black linen but you can bring your own.

Great production of Pipeline. As good if not better than the Alley.

An intimate theater venue, where the actors and audience are closely situated. We thoroughly enjoyed the production of Freeda Peoples, with a stellar cast.

Wonderful! A intimate theater for entertainment...

High-quality plays at an affordable price.

Great place and shows. My only complaint is the leg room in the main theater. The staff was kind enough to allow me to sit in a vacant seat for the last act. The Ensemble has been around for years. Love this place.

The play was very good. The venue was very cold but the actors were quite good. We saw Too Heavy for my Pocket.

Saw the Josephine Baker play. Just awesome!

Warm, captivating, attentive actors/actresses & audience.....Loved it!

Love this place ️

Wonderful productions. Every play is well done.

Great shos, very hospitable service, & a diverse cast & shows!!!!

Become a subscriber and have planned date nights for the year. Row C has the best leg room on the lower level. Any seat has a great view. Very intimate theater that offers top quality entertainment.

Performances are excellent and inspire me to return. Well chosen plays that move and encourage... entertain. The most memorable were the African American Cinderella play and the soulful Christmas with the time machine and historic music. Love it!

I had a great time at Mean Girls!

Sistas, a musical. The theatre is well appointed and comfortable seating. The staff was cordial and friendly. The play was outstanding. First class local talent! IMIm returning to the next show.

Great entertainment free performances and nice environment!

A wonderful show for children to learn about an amazing American who made an impact on so many people during a time when raw courage would cost a black man his life for simply speaking up!

Went to the theatre for the first time. The show was incredible! Thoughtful. Great stage presence. Some distractions with a few character wardrobe but overall, talented actors and produced well. Theatre is a great location in midtown. Only issue was the audio which was poor. The production was great and it was painful to get out of a scene because of feedback.

We enjoyed the show so much was very funny we had a great time.

We saw an interpretation of _A Christmas Carol_ set in modern times with a cultural twist. It was well acted, well sung, and I really liked it.

Is a great place I went to see a play and it were fantastic the. cast were really great I could watch those woman every nite they were that good and funny if anyone want to see a good play go to the ensemble theater before the play end on. 10/ 14 /18.

Always great performance.

The performance was wonderful and the staff is nice. Great atmosphere .It a lovely place.

Great venue. We saw really great productions here. This is a great family environment. Thanks so very much!

Attended a musical production, The Soulful Sounds of Christmas, given by Black Ensemble Company. Enjoyed the show. Very talented cast, ages 10 and up. They were very lively and knew how to draw you into the story.

The Ensemble Theatre is very important asset to the arts in the city of Houston. Last night, I experienced an example of the outstanding plays that it exhibits, Soulful Sounds of Christmas. I experienced this play, one of its annual Christmas plays, with my extended family. It play to make this an annual event and would recommend others, who appreciate the arts, to see a play at and support the Ensemble Theatre.
