What a beautiful theater! Its old world charm is a lovely and intimate setting. Parking is convenient, the building is a hidden treasure inside and out, and the village was delightful. I look forward to coming to many productions in the future.

A beautifully maintained historic, performing arts, building with charming old-fashioned interiors. We enjoyed the visit and seeing the Caribbean Steel Drum Kids perform an amazing Christmas show!The staff were plentiful, helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the small theater and was surprised how high up the stage was. The building does have an elevator to be up to code for handicapped patrons.

Miracle on 34th Street was a terrific experience. The show was professional in so many ways. The acting was superb and the voices were perfect. Set design was fabulous as well. Well done to the pianist.

Awesome little theater! Quality of performance and actors was outstanding. Although the age of the building shows in many ways, it is still up to date on the things that matter. I have some hearing loss in one ear, but the sound was great.

One of the very few remaining Opera houses in the country! An intimate theatre where you can enjoy live entertainment, musicals, plays, and musicians!

Went to see my son in a play, and it was my first visit to the theatre, and I was suprised how nice it was. It reminds me of a smaller scale version of Sheas, and you would never know driving by the location. The play was very well done, and all the students did a great job.

Listen, I went to get my tickets before the show. I was able to get up via elevator, get to the box office, and because they were doing sound checks, not allowed to leave. This is an hour before performance. I told her I was unable to go down stairs. She said it wasnt her problem. At this point, I needed to use the facilities. I asked her point blank if that meant I was now trapped there till the house opened, and she said yes. Handicapped unfriendly, rude, horrible.

Always enjoy the plays and other offerings here, Brighton Beach Memoirs was no exception. The actors were very good, including the young students. The lead mother had a very convincing Brooklyn accent (and Im from Brooklyn myself), and looked and acted like one of my New York cousins.

I just saw one of the most funniest show EVER. The cast was awesome, funny, voices belting out the songs better than I have seen in a long time. So worth seeing for an affordable price.

Review №23

Love this theater. I have seen many a great production here. My all time favorites were FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, and LES MISERABLES and SINGING IN THE RAIN Which , I believe, were ALL in the same year/season. Seats are uncomfortable and sound isnt always the best, but truthfully I go for the talent, and have never been disappointed. I have to add that I most recently went to 3 performances here. BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS A CHRISTMAS STORY and. OLIVER. OLIVER was phenomenal, and I enjoyed the other two plays as well. The first more than the latter.

This is a cool, little, historical theater which puts on some pretty impressive shows, despite being a smaller venue. There is no bad seat in the house and parking is never a problem. The tickets prices are reasonable and its always a pleasant experience.

19th century town hall building of architectural interest. Use the ramped elevator entrance if visiting with the mobility challenged to avoid multiple flights of stairs to the opera house.A pre-show lounge would make it a 5 star!

I have not been to a playvsince I was a little girl and I took my little girl here for the first time to see Annie...AMAZING! I loved the play and the place iteself was clean with super friendly staff. They also have a little concession stand during the break and souvenirs. For a local opera house this one is great. If visiting or passing through and you have time, heck make time, see one of the plays.

The only reason I rated 3 stars was because there were a lot of stairs however after we got to the theatre we were informed there was an elevator and its not marked very well. It says town hall above the door but there is a sign on the lawn. Just a bit confusing. Other than that was ok
