I visited this theatre many many times and keep coming back. This theatre is a hidden jewel and i HIGHLY RECOMMEND it! I travel a lot and see lots of different theatre productions during the year but this place is something special. First of all, ACTING! People on stage are not only professionals but artists. They are creative and very talented. I have seen "Memorial Prayer", where there are about 20 actors involved and I was amazed by the authentic atmosphere they created. Secondly, the design and ideas of the shows like "Cinderella" (in Russian) are so unique. I mean this old fairytale could be told in many different ways but Arlekin's way - was outstanding and really entertaining. I also loved the set and costume design of this particular show. Thirdly, the concerts and lectures that they have it this theatre are just wonderful. Lectures by Dr Smeliansky are super valuable for me because you can't find it anywhere else. Thank you Arlekin Players Theatre for bringing these interesting shows, concerts and lectures to our community. read more

First time to this community theater and initially very skeptical. But "Dead Man's Diary" was no less than amazing! Not only they managed to recreate Bulgakov's spirit and ambience of the piece they also showed a lot of inventiveness in this production. I adore "Dead Man's Diary" and have recently reread it. It's a novel, not a play and Arlekin highly exceeded my expectations in their presentation of it. I think artistic director Igor Golyak did a particularly great job as did some of the non-professional actors. I am of Russian origin and it was interesting for me to know how did English speaking guests like it (they play is in Russian with English subtitles). One person I asked how did he like the play said that he enjoyed it thoroughly. Have to take his word for it. All in "Dead Man's Diary" was great and now I can't wait to see their new productions. read more

Simply put the "Seagull" is a must to see show. It is another amazing performance by Arlekyn Theater. Aside from superb acting, decorations, scene transition, sound and lights, etc. it is the most insightful look in mind of any creative person, in this case a writer, I've seen for a long time. The English translation of the famous play is so masterful, that feels as natural as Russian. As it goes, better one time to see, than seven times to hear. I personally will go and watch Seagull again. read more

By now I have attended several performances of this theater company. "Dead Man's Diary" is by far the most wonderful and magical, wholeheartedly recommended to theater-lovers should Arlekin decide to offer a re-run. Inspirational acting, lots of creative ideas, brilliant music, a unique stage setting, and overall - the abundance of creativity and at the same time a very authentic interpretation of Bulgakov's novel. Truly amazing. Big thumbs up to Igor Golyak and his crew! read more

I've heard about Arlekin for several years, but this is the first time I decided to attend the performance. This is because the recommendations were overwhelmingly exciting. I was still skeptical, but indeed "Dead Man's Diary" is absolutely amazing! Nothing close to an amateur theater. Absolutely professional in every aspect: direction, scenography, acting, music. Captivating, wittily, touching, creative, and just beautiful. Looking forward to Arlekin's new productions! read more

A group of true professional, creative, and extremely talented people who create characters, sew costumes, build sets, write music, etc. Every show is unique masterpiece. Along with productions based on classic (Pushkin, Chekhov), there are shows based on modern authors' plays (Bashevis Singer, Gorin, Pulinovich). The theater is for everyone, for kids and for adults, for Russian and English speakers. It is innovative and welcoming, and always a joy to visit. read more

What an amazing experience! Igor's classes really helped me be more confident and open minded. I took the classes for one year as a part of a group and we became a team. It fascinates me how these classes helped me look at people differently and find out new me. I believe Igor Golyak studio is the place to be for creative minds! read more
