It is very clean, all the employees and volunteers are absolutely wonderful they are helpful, informative and extremely friendly. The prices are also very reasonable. Even the refreshments are at a moderate price. I highly recommend coming to watch a movie here if you're a local or visiting like we are. Great service, great building and fun times!

But the worst part is the popcorn, it's the worst, stale tasting plus they're too cheap to have popcorn salt. Paid over $10 for a combo but threw out half of the popcorn. Late would be nothing for folks whose hearing is not up to par. Been asking for that for years.

The highlight of this theater is that it still cost $8. We saw the Barbie movie. They kept the…read morelights on for a few minutes into the movie. The sound wasn't right. My son saw the movie a few days earlier and knew what it was supposed to sound like. He went and told them the sound didn't sound right and they told him it was fine- it 100% wasn't. The theater is split down the middle with fancy chairs on the left and normal chairs on the right. The main issue was the sound. I'd be nervous to watch another movie at this theater if this was typical. Save your money and watch a movie at home with better sound.

While visiting friends in the area, we were able to get tickets to see "Irish Christmas in…read moreAmerica." Besides the playhouse, the show was outstanding. I'm not sure about the history of the building. Like most places in this area, I suspect it was an older building that was updated. They did a great job. The building is beautiful. While waiting, you are in an open space. They have a small snack bar, there was a table of wares the group was selling, and lots of people congregating. (All wore masks except for two people.) When you do enter the theater, you find your seats. The seats were comfortable. The show started on time and the musicians and dancers did their things. The sound system was marvelous. In sum, this was a great and unexpected experience for a small town. If you find yourself in Whitehall, MI, this is not one to miss.

I, myself, once took to the stage before a full house, and let me be the first (but hopefully not the last!) to say that beneath the lights and under the gaze of your audience, there is no greater thrill than to present your learned story with all of the passion and excitement that you have been saving up to that point! I've also sat in the seats of this wonderful ninety-three year old theater and taken in several shows - the seating, stage, balcony, music pit...all of it is lovingly preserved by amazing volunteers and donors, giving it an antiquated feel that you simply cannot replicate with modern materials. This is the genuine theater experience, and White Lake has it right under their noses. Sadly, there exists no more under-appreciated landmark in all of the White Lake area than the Howmet Playhouse. Donations are constantly being collected, but it seems as though repairs are slow in coming on some occassions. While the money coming in to the Playhouse have been enough to keep it going, it is nothing short of a crime that there exists no established subsidies for its continual maintenance and care. I'm not sure if the White Lake Chamber of Commerce realizes this or not, but looking at the area from the outside, there is VERY little to keep people's attention in regard to tourism. Treasures like the Howmet are the lifeblood of the tourism trade, and more effort should be made in utilizing the playhouse in promoting unique performances that tell the story of the White Lake area. Someone in an official capacity really needs to stand up and take this wonderful building more seriously, realizing its importance in White Lake's existence. If you're in the area, I urge you to take in a show! It's more than just a nostalgic glimpse into the past for long-time residents - it's a piece of it's very history, and that history deserves respect. The Howmet is a truly entertaining venue that will transport you not only into the worlds presented on stage, but also into the past of this beautiful Michigan community.
