Wanting to support this theatre but straight attitude and lack of customer etiquette…read more There are a ton of theatres in the Atlanta and surrounding area. If you want people to come and enjoy and support and encourage others to come and support for more shows, do not talk to them like you are doing them a favor for them to spend their money, energy, their time and their attention. I recommend actors to select a different theatre for acting, because the energy of the leaders is off.

I Will Never Attend Another Play By Kenny Leon (True Colors Theater) Again!…read more I had the occasion to see "Holler, If Ya Hear Me," on Thursday, September 14, 2017, but missed a great deal of the play after the opening time was changed without my knowledge. I ordered my tickets on Friday, July 21, 2017 which has an 8:00 p.m. curtain, but started at 7:30 p.m. I took the night off from my work to attend this play with my fiancé and was disappointed when I was informed that the play had already begun when we arrived. The next day, I wrote a letter outlining my disappointment to True Colors with a request to receive two (2) complimentary tickets for another play in 2018 given the fact that I would be away on business for the duration of 2017. "Holler, If Ya Hear Me" closes in October 2017. On Thursday, September 21, 2017, I received a call from Chandra Stephens-Albright, True Colors Managing Director, in reference to my letter. Mrs. Stephens-Albright acknowledged that True Colors was at fault for changing the time. When I told Mrs. Stephens-Albright that I hadn't been notified of the change of time, she said a few other patrons had also complained, and that I could see the play again for free. After informing her that I wouldn't be available before the play closed, she said that they would not provide complimentary tickets for another play, and would not refund my purchase. It is surreal for a business to admit its error, and then to not reimburse a customer as a result of the error. Edward Brown

There is a lot I can say about Broadway Performing Art Studio but I'll sum it up. My daughter is…read morenow 7 and started at age 4. The owner & choreographer Miss India has done AMAZING with my daughter growth. My daughter started off as a Broadway Baby and now she has earned her position on Broadway Competition Team Season 9. As a Broadway Baby Miss India & Miss Dee worked with these young ladies and cared for them as their own. I love the sisterhood that has been formed with all the ladies ranging from 4-18. Miss India believes in hard work, respect, sister hood & good grades. One of the quote my daughter says a lot is " if you miss up you just keep going" my daughter use this quote on a daily. I can see a big change in her confidence and she ALWAYS EXCITED to go to class. This is our 3rd studio and I'm impressed and we are Broadway Parents for life! To add also the communication from MsIndia is AMAZING. The monthly schedule comes out two months at a time and if anything changes which is rare she communicates that as well via email, parents group chat, Broadway App and/or text msg.

The Gwinnett Mall location was very convenient for me. There was an ample amount of parking. I was very entertained. There was never a dull moment, and lots to see.

I enjoyed the motorcycle performers and the very last performances the most. I highly recommend the Universoul Circus. This is a long tradition that needs to be around for years to come.

Atlanta Shakespeare Company is a professional theatre with hand-made period costumes, music and…read moresound effects & thrilling sword fights. Actors directly address the audience and never disappoint! PARKING Pay for street parking via text or the kiosk, first 30 minutes free ($6). Or use the Emory Hospital Deck across the street. Accessible parking is behind the theatre. TICKETS $25-$49 for adults. Buy in person, online or via phone. Opening night previews are discounted & general admission. Discounts for seniors, students, educators, military, EMS etc. Volunteer for free entry! SEATS You pay to reserve a section, not a specific seat. The balcony upstairs has a small area for dining but seats are cheap & intimate with stellar views! Box seats are behind and to the sides of the main floor, mildly mobility friendly. In back there's no line during intermission but the actors voices compete with the music. Main Floor is best for mobility. So close you could end up interacting with the cast! Sold out show?

Kitchen's closed during performances so arrive early! Order 75 - 10 minutes before curtain. Menu - $7.50 soup, $6.50 salad, $15 Shepherd's pie etc. I love the $8.50 Tavern sausage with potato salad.

Plays are 2.5-3 hours. ASC actors are high energy and hilarious! They throw in modern references and we always have a great time! SPECIAL EVENTS Shakespeare Out of a Hat plays are "part improv, mostly Shakespeare. " Casting is gender-blind, actors don't know who they are playing until 2 minutes before the play starts! ASC Belle Esprit co-productions recenter historical plays through a feminist lens, uplifting the voices of women & nonbinary people. Purists beware, this ain't your momma's Jane Austen!

According to their website, Aris or Arís (pronounced ah-REESH) is the Irish word for "again" (in…read morereference to "encore"). I'm telling you this because I would have pronounced it AHR-ris, and I would have been embarrassingly incorrect. It seems like this particular theater company is all about the Celtic arts. The plays they produce have Celtic influence (Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and English), which in and of itself makes this theater company different. They've been around since 2013, and I'm not entirely sure if for these past few years, they have all of their plays at Georgia Broadcasting, or not. But since that's where I saw the play I went to yesterday, I'm going to venture that they are operating out of it for now. Who would have thought that within the heart of the city, there was a gem of a theater company like this? As someone who can't do an Irish or Scottish accent to save my life (well, I CAN pronounce car and party, but that's pretty much thanks to "The Boondock Saints"), the immersion of the actors on stage able to produce this accent is incredibly impressive. This theater company doesn't seem to produce the kind of theater you take your middle school class to (unless, of course, you want to enlighten them, but since parents want to pretend the night isn't dark and full of terrors...), it's much more enjoyable to an adult audience. And I am definitely okay with that! Cutesy fluff has a time and a place, but dark and witty is more of my preference. PROS: - This has to be one of the only places you can do to downtown that has free parking! I would recommend coming here a dash early, though, as the parking garage can be hard to navigate as a first timer. -Superb acting, and the actors did a good job with their various accents. They thickened up at parts, but I was still able to pick up the conversation, regardless. -A small, intimate stage, with stadium seating means the acoustics are easily heard throughout. -It's unassigned, seat-yourself seating, so you can pick a seat wherever your heart desires. -It seems like they offer more adult/mature plays (intellectual, witty, no fluff), which is my favorite kind of theater. CONS: -The lot was kind of hard to find. I drove past it the first time. (see below tip to help you figure out where to go!) -Lots and lots of walking, which means you really need to get here around AT LEAST 30 minutes early, in case you get lost. THE VERDICT: It's a smaller, intimate theater, with stadium-style seating (the front is lower that the chairs behind). On the way into the theater, they did their best to assuage confusion, with a bunch of signs pointing towards this way or that way. They also made sure to have ushers stationed around to help. (For directions to the theater, look at the below tip) I really adore smaller theaters, and despite its petite size, I had no problem hearing the actors on stage; they utilized their space very well. It fills a definite niche market as yet seemingly undefined in Atlanta acting, and I love that they do that. I'm excited to see what else this theater has to offer. TIPS: For parking, when you see the building, drive towards it. The parking garage is set off from the road, and isn't initially evident. A small bar goes up and down (no ticket retrieval necessary). Drive up from the ground level two levels (so you go to parking level 2), and park. There will be two sets of elevators. Go towards the far left elevators, and you'll see a sign telling you how to get to the proper floor. From there, go down the long hallway on your right (you'll see secretaries set up at large tables), and go to the left of them. There you'll see a table set up for the theater. You'll then be ushered down another hall and see people handing out programs.

From the second we walked in we were given clear instructions. It was so well organized. They had a seating chart, we just had to give our ID and a staff member walked us to the table. It was bring your own bottle, and bring your own food And they provided us with the paint brushes the paint the water, as well as the canvas. We were also given smocks,I had a custom happy birthday smock At the very beginning the staff introduced themselves. They had great music playing, and we got to follow along with the lead paint instructor, and in between paintings we got to play different games. We even got to announce our birthdays, they also did little contests in between to keep the energy up! Overall it was a 10 out of 10 experience if you have not done something like this before, give it a try, I can't wait to do it again!!
