Seemed very weird, not having the crowd that we always do. The play was very good, great actors and actresses. Weve been members for fifteen years, we love being members, have met a lot of other members.

Fantastic! We are so LUCKY to have such an amazing theater in our town. They take the experience of live theater above and beyond. Everything here seams to be top of the line, great quality, and super accommodating. I saw Pump Boys and The Dinnetes and it was a-maz-ing. The small cast played all their own instruments and everyone was phenomenal. This is the Ocala Civic Theaters 70th year and the lobby has a beautiful installation commemorating the rich history of the Marion County Players and the theater itself. I never knew so many well known industry professionals have graced our presence! As for social distancing and maintaining safe practices, they appear to be going above and beyond here, as well. Masks are required and social distancing is enforced through staggered seating. They moved concessions outside and everyone working is wearing masks and gloves. They do this super cute thing with the seats where they put donors faces on cardboard people to aid in spacing in the theater. Every other row is blocked off entirely and they are running at about 25% capacity. They are doing an amazing job keeping everyone involved safe and healthy. I am grateful my family has such a special and artistically enriching place we can still go to.

Love this place and the people who run it are wonderful. check out the statue out front....(see photos)

Unfortunately this event was not very enjoyable. We took the kids and had to sit outside even though theyre was only 12 people in the audience. We paid for tickets to a Halloween act, but it turned out to just be one lady telling stories on a stage. They started it very corny and started to get to long for the kids. This was a waste of time and money, the story teller was mediocre at best.

I am not impressed. Boring. Low level of vocal mastery. We left half way thru performance.

Absolutely Brilliant! Cant wait for the next play!

Christmas Carol is a wonderful productive. We enjoyed the show

Love this theater. Great social distancing. Presentations always enjoyable.

Nice small theater with local talent. Since it is smaller, every seat in the house has a good view of the stage. I thought the ticket prices were reasonable ($27). We went on Valentines Day 2020 to see Forever...Patsy Cline and enjoyed the show. The two ladies that stared in the show did a good job, as well as their back up band. I look forward to seeing more productions at this theater.

Awesome theatre good people very safe to visit check them out!

I love the O.C.T., but did not enjoy With Love, Patsy Cline. If it is a two woman show with Patsy singing 27 songs, you should have chosen an exceptional singer. The stars are for the theater. They do an exceptional job.

I just loved the Ocala Civic Theatre... performance was wonderful. Left feeling satisfied and happy. Looking forward to my next visit. I am still SMILING and that is something that seems to be harder and harder to find. Many Thanks To You All !!

This is a wonderful venue. An intimate theater with no bad seats and excellent acoustics. I only gave 4 instead of 5 stars only because there are not enough bathrooms. Although thats a minor inconvenience.

Love it.... And my daughter had an amazing time!

Great local theatre! My daughter has gone here and has learned so much. They put on good plays that are enjoyable for all ages. 5 star!!

Very few in the audience, mostlycutouts and empty seats.

OCT is excellent. It may be small but their productions are up there with the paramount production.Looking for an evening of pure enjoyment come to the OCT for night of fun and excitement.The theater is clean, some refreshments, clean restrooms, and excellent plays and actors.

Went to see Matilda the Musical. It was a very cute show. All the actors did a fantastic job. The choreography was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed myself

Had a GREAT time with a small group of friends from our community. We saw The Addams Family. VERY good, everyone enjoyed it!

Got season tickets and every production was really fun

Very nice and they offer handicap seating. Im disabled and use a powered wheelchair so this makes it easy to enjoy the Arts. Will definitely go again as I had a really good time.

30 Years I have lived her and this was my first visit. Loved the staff and atmosphere. What a belly laughing experience at Meonpause! The cast was fanatics!

I enjoyed the childrens summer camps. My grandchildren learned so much about theater. But I think cancelling the Starfish Circus camp was wrong. Cirque du Soleil is as much theater drama and comedy as acrobatics.

Excellent facilities and staff. Shows are well produced and the talent is outstanding!Worth it to purchase season tickets so you dont miss any of the excellent shows.

Went and saw Menopause which was very very funny. Good seats. Will see again if it returns

I love it!! It is amazing!

Excellent small theater. We enjoyed the show and tickets are reasonably priced.

A wonderful venue. The Acoustics were great in the venue is a perfect size for a more intimate production. I feel comfortable saying theres not a bad seat in the house.Stephen Langs One Man Show Beyond Glory was truly a worthwhile production. Lester Lanes seamless transition from One Medal of Honor winner to another was Master be performed. He was both respectful, and sensitive in both his delivery and in his treatment of the subject matter. Is nuanced performance really added so much more to the production.

Great venue for K-country’s acoustic concert! Had a blast!!!!

I go to Ocala Civic for acting classes and we are currently rehearsing a Shakespeare play to put on at the fort on fort king and it is all sooo professional. Great experiences and Im sure more 2 come

A relaxing and wonderful evening!!

Love the show! Front row seats to see Matilda! I have seen a few shows here and loved all of them!

All plays here are great. Volunteer actors are always super. Everyone should support this wonderful theatre.

They are taking serious Covid precautions.

I have attended many performances here and have never been disappointed. This is truly a gem to have in Ocala! I would love to be involved one day.

The Ocala Civic Theatre is an integral part of the culture heritage of what is now rapidly growing city. With an incredibly talented and dedicated group of both paid staff and unpaid volunteers providing wonderfully produced and directed productions from what is typically an all volunteer cast. (Keepnin mind this also is a 503C non-profit organization) I truly believe you will be entertained and inspired by the passion and skill that our fellow Ocalans display as they bring so many different stories to life in front of you on stage. So get out and go see a play, oh and take the kids, maybe they put their phone away for a few hours!

Older theater but such great character! Great sound system! Some amazing talent!

Saw the Savannah sipping society last night. It was a hoot. This a small venue every seat is good and prices are right.

Its nice to have some NYC culture in our small town...

The play was okay but nothing to write home about. The temperature was too warm inside!

First class theatre and their education department is fantastic!

Every seat is comfortable, great viewing, very good acostics, good performances.

Fair price and seating is comfortable with a good view.

Just performed the with the Barbergators Chorus. What a nice theater. Spacious lobby. Great house. Spacious back stage area. ... and a great staff to work with. Highly recommended.

Saw Menopause the Musical! Kudos to the 4 ladies who had us laughing out loud from the moment they took the stage until the very last song.

All seats good viewing, sound system good also

Wonderful, pretty much every seat there is good.

Ocala Civic Theatre never lets us down! Always a great show. Tonights performance was Addams Family, a New Musical. Fabulous!!!

Me and my son went to see Matilda. It was a awesome show. The cast and the orchestra was great.

Great play and when i used their hearing devices i could actually hear what actors were saying

Best time ever. Had so many laughs.

Beautiful buildings and great parking. Theater performance of the students and adults was outstanding.

Did not hate this place...loved the performance Matilda and all other shows I have seen there.

Nice place dropped off some art work for a friend of mine

Great to see live theater!Nice staff and a phenomenal diversity in plays and talent.

I love this place. It is small as far as seating is concerned but the productions are huge. The seat do need some updating but there is plenty of leg room. If you do have to get up during a performance there is plenty of light to find your way. There is ample spacing for those in wheelchairs or those that need special seating. The Ocala Civic Theatre is a non profit organization and it is great to see the community ensure it stay open with great productions. Cant wait to see Swan Lake in April.

This theatre is small but love the acoustics and the performances are wonderful. They bring in an array of plays for everyone! Enjoyed the Addams Family, great troup! Great job everyone!

What a delightful gem. A nice little theater with live performances. It was well presented with some very talented people.

Comfortable seating, sound and acoustics very good, hearing aid devices available, concessions plus productions are 1st rate.

Great education programs. Terry is so wonderful with the kids. Looking forward to having my boys start again.

Menopause..The Musical was fantastic!

We saw the Addams Family musical it was excellent! This is a great place to see professional theatre locally.

An extremely professional venue. I was pleasantly surprised to find this gem in the midst of Marion County. Located directly adjacent to the Appleton, this theater offered great acting, awesome sets, fantastic sound and acoustics. I look forward to coming back.

We saw The Foreigner. It was funny, had good actors & good story. The set was great. The only reason for 4 stars is that the seats are very small(but they will be replacing them soon, and the person who answered my wifes call to the ticket office was not very friendly and kept repeating back incorrect information. Overall it was a great experience.

We live an hour from the theater, but have been to a half dozen plays over the last two years. We have never been disappointed. Last night we went to see Mamma Mia and were not disappointed. We have seen the movie twice. This live performance was outstanding. The young lady that played Sophie was simply amazing. We will go back as often as we can.

Great music! So funny.

Have been here for multiple events. All of the seats provide a good view of the stage. Each season has shows with a wide variety, so you should be able to find something that appeals to you. They put on good quality stage productions. They also do excellent education programs for all ages.

Am a season ticket holder and have been for several years. Love going to the plays and musicals. In fact, went tonight and saw I Love A Piano. Enjoyed the show very much. It is amazing, all the local talent we have. Very clean facility and employees and volunteers are great.

My husband and I laughed from beginning to end we wanted more

Not too big so its not crowded. Great local theatre

Great show. Performance was fun. Nice intimate theater.

They have wonderful performances that can be enjoyed by all. The talent is amazing!

A wonderful community theater!

We saw Menopause. It was fantastic!

Went and saw the Nut cracker, it was beautiful. I truly loved. The cast did a fantastic job.

The plays are wonderful and perfectly written comfortable seats and lots of style

Great place and great entertainment

Friendly and embracing atmosphere. The epitome of community theatre. Great place to visit. A must see

Excellent, we had tickets for the Addams Family play , very good.

Great performances. A wonderful little theater!

Seems like a tiny space at first, but wow do the performances and sets pack a punch! They do an amazing job at bringing talent and entertainment to a somewhat small town.

Always the best place to go to for entertainment need extra bathrooms though

Everything is very well done, a class act!

Cozy theatre. Concessions and very comfortable new seats. Has a nice courtyard sitting area outside.

A wonderful performance last evening of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Kudos to all. New seats are very comfortable. The trio (Kelsey Diana and myself) kicked off our season of entertainment.

Adams Family was a blast. Had a great theater experience.

Nice theater, great production value and incredible sets. But the fact that they allow smoking right outside the front doors, and you have to wade thru a haze of nasty cigarette smoke, doesnt really put me in the mood to enjoy a show.

Ocala Civic theater has all the charm of being in a NY theater... I left feeling good inside. The cast was talented and Momma Mia was wonderful!!

Wonderful place to see a show. Very comfortable seating

Went to see the production of Joesph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat, and it was really wonderful. Theater was very comfortable with its new seats. And they offer wonderful classes for kids, priced very reasonably. Cant wait to see my grandsons class put on their show!

It is the only theater in the area. Good people there.

Unless you buy a year pass the way they sell tickets is a pain and online order adds a large fee

Went to theater to see nutcracker my sister gave us tickets that was very nice thank guy ou and love you and I hope my baby gets better soon.ill see him a few in the morning.

Great show, my kids loved it. The seats are wide and comfortable

Newly renovated with very comfortable seating and the addition of cup holders made this experience very enjoyable! The rendition of Joseph and the Technicolor coat was exceptional!

Its not Broadway, but it is a lovely show. I last went to see Mamma Mia!, and the singing was great. Heads up, the more recognizable the name of the play, the more advanced you have to buy your tickets.

Met and chatted today with Mary, about the theatre and a few of the productions and also about the upcoming renovations. What a delightful lady she is! Looking forward to many good events at this gem, located in Ocala.

We went to see “Be More Chill”. It was Rated PG 13. First the good. I felt the actors, music and especially the singing was great. There was talent and more than a few great voices, however.The play is not PG 13 and should have been rated R. There is inappropriate content, language and gestures. Too bad too, the play could have been good but as in so many cases, the direction and writing lack the talent to be truely funny, so they turn to crude and vial language and a gutter-dragging though processes.The leadership, direction and writing in this play destroys true community theater, and leaves in its place this sad attempt at humor.John

Wonderful sets and an excellent cast. Very entertaining!

Quality performance was awesome seating was comfortable acoustics good but no cup holders. Would consider going again depending on the show
