Though it's going to be hard, I'm going to try to write an objective review about this group. A…read morecouple of words come to mind as I think of this group: Community - They are a completely non-profit theater group. The actors, orchestra, and stagehands all are volunteer - yet there is such a love of the craft that they come back again and again for each show. Family - Not only are there numerous whole families that are part of every show, you quickly feel like a member of a huge family when you get involved in a show with these guys. Our mother, of course, being Mary Springer - the mastermind behind Twefth Night. Talent - wow, holy geez, goodness! What a talent power house!! And half the company is either still in high school or just graduated!! I love these kids! Most of them have grown up in this group and their creativity and acting ability that they put into their characters is top notch. As a newbie - I am in awe and humbled by it. You gotta check out these guys sometime!

What an amazing performance of First Date by this talented troupe! This was my first time at a…read moreTwelfth Night Production and I was more than impressed. Having seen the original off-Broadway show at 5th Ave Theatre in 2012 I had to get tickets to see it again when I saw the listing for it in 2017! I had been telling my best friend about it for years and I was finally able to share it with her. We got there just before the show started and it was neat to be in an old school auditorium. The band that played accompaniment to the actors singing was spot on and the sound in the theatre was just right, not deafening, but projected well enough for all to hear. The dance choreography for the show was wonderful and you could tell the actors worked hard rehearsing for the show. Incredible! I will be looking out for future shows this production company puts on!

Terrible. After buying a voucher for four tickets to a show, they refused to honor it. The…read moreexpiration date on the voucher was almost two months after the shows for the season ended. They refused to honor it for the next season, have any shows or other products to use it on before it expired or offer credit towards future purchases. When I brought up the expiration date timeframe, nothing from them.

Beautiful theatre! The lobby is spacious and engaging for children. We arrived as doors opened and…read morehad no problem filling the 60 minute wait time before the play started. The seats are comfortable and spaced well- especially when tall people (adults) look behind them to see who is seated behind them. Just a little lean to one direction of center seat can block a child's view. Enjoy!

I really loved going to see their performance of All's Well That Ends Well. I so enjoyed my time…read morehere and I highly recommend you see a performance when in Seattle. I went before the pandemic, so I'm not sure what the schedule is now. The performance is in the Armory building on a lower floor. People arrive early and chat in the lobby. They have some cookies and sodas for sale. The theatre was really great and seating was comfortable and not crowded so you can really enjoy and get a good view probably wherever you sit. The the acting was exceptional. I really enjoyed. Most people were dressed pretty casually. People were really friendly. Highly recommended!

BECOMING OTHELLO: A Black Girl's Journey, written and performed by Debra Ann Byrd is amazing. I…read moredidn't know what to expect. That didn't matter. The actor's story has tragedy, and hope. It is ugly, and beautiful. It is gripping, and moving. Her writing mixes Shakespeare, slam poetry, singing, and spoken word. Ms. Byrd brings it all together for the audience. If you're in Seattle, go before it's gone.

I went to a showing of The Pirates of Penzance; or, The Slave of Duty as my first ever opera…read moreshowing! Before the showing, there was a little lecture hall in the basement which explained the background of the show and the themes present. I think without this, I would have been a bit lost and not have enjoyed the show as much as I did. I thought the singing and acting were superb, and I loved the props and costumes. The orchestra was fantastic as well. Everything was very well done! As a note, during intermission, I noticed there was a line for the men's room and none for the women's room. It turns out that the women's room is significantly larger with more stalls to prevent a backup. It's very thoughtfully designed considering there's a limited time for intermission to use the restroom.

Terrific setting for our first night at this opera house. Lots of parking garages across the…read morestreet. This opera house has a lot of room and an easy flow from entrance to the theatre. Two elevators made getting to the fourth floor quick. The interior of the theatre is simple, pleasant colors, and well ventilated. The balcony was comfortable the whole opera. The stage was classy. The acoustics good. The performance of the Pirates of Penzance was the right choice for my sisters' first opera (my 10,000th?). Very talented actors, especially the singer that played Mabel.

The concessions by donation are perfect and the ushers make you feel like home. Not a bad seat in the house. I know some friends who volunteer their time here. What a great place to have some affordable fine arts fun!

Growing up, my grandmother lived in Edmonds and really enjoyed the Edmonds Driftwood Players…read moreTheater, so we would come with her to various plays. It was a more formal occasion so we got to wear our nice clothes. We would arrive fairly early to avoid the crowd that could form as the play start time neared. The plays we saw here were varied in content, though tended to be musicals. I typically got headaches when I saw plays growing up, and the acoustics hear were better than average. It depended on the play and type of music sung whether I got a headache. During intermission we would make a dash for the restrooms, which could have a long line, however us and other theater goers tended to be quick to keep the line moving. We would also go on the hunt for a small cookie or two that might have been put out.

We have been to SMT a couple of times…read more Pros: 1. Small intimate theater 2. Inexpensive admission fee 3. Plenty of free parking Cons: 1. Performers, costumes, & settings no where near Village Theatre caliber 2. Not many restaurants nearby Unless it's a play we love, SMT is probably not our first choice for local theatre productions.

Decent size venue with good acoustics…read more Sarah and I saw Aida here and the venue was pretty good all things considered. The acoustics was decent at the dress circle level but I'm not sure how it is at the balcony level. They also have a camera pointed at the conductor so you can see him passionately conducting the event on a TV screen attached to the balcony railing! Everyone working at the venue are super nice and there is a small cafeteria that sells snacks, coffee, wine and beer. There is venue parking and plenty of street parking so that's one thing not to worry about! We had a good time here and the play was nice for the price we paid for the tickets! Will definitely come back for more shows in the summer!

My daughter looked forward to her theatre group meetings more than any other after-school activity…read moreever, and that's saying something. She has adored her fellow actors, as well as the amazing Anna, who clearly loves her job and the kids with whom she works. I especially appreciate the ways in which the kids get to contribute their ideas for tweaking the script and performance. I highly recommend Stone Soup Theatre!

The Percy Jackson play was adorable and my daughter was so excited that she memorized every line in the play.
