    Whilst at Knott's Berry Farm, it should be a must to visit the Bird Cage Theater. It is true enjoyment to experience a Melodramatic performance in the style it was created. Performances never disappoint. I always try to b watch each season's new shows.

    A Christmas Carol
    Belle B.

    After visiting Knott's Berry Farm so many times over all these years, I never really realized they actually had live performances in this little theatre. I first ventured into the theatre with Chel R. to watch live performance of A Christmas Carol around the holidays. During my last visit, I took the kiddies to watch Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies. This is a cozy venue that offers short performances (maybe half hour shows on average). There is a small marquee outside the theatre that advertises whatever show is currently playing and the times of the performances. It is a great place to rest your tired feet for awhile and be entertained. It's really charming that they put so much time and thought into live performances. Watching the performers, it is obvious the passion they have for their trade. Each show I watched was entertaining and enjoyable. I loved that Scrooge is still relevant and being performed. It's a great story that we call can still learn from. I was shocked that Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies had such a following. They had loyal fans and groupies! One person in the audience actually made clothing and accessories for stuffed animals to represent each band member and placed it on the stage. It was an great performance. Who knew all those different genres of music could be played as bluegrass music? If I was a tourist with limited time, I might focus on the rides and different venues of the park. Knowing we usually go once a year or so, this is something I will definitely check out again. If I want to take it slow and savor the history and nostalgia of the ghost town at Knott's, this is a great place to check out.

    Located within Knotts Berry Farm this little theater performs short plays (usually around 30 minutes) and is free with park admission. It's known as the place where comedian/actor Steve Martin started his career as a young man. Check the daily park performance schedules for showtimes and what play is being presented. Or listen for the barker shouting and the pipe organ playing at the edge of Ghost Town encouraging people to come see the show. The acting is of professional caliber but the production was local community theater level. Sets were bare minimum; it felt like a play you might see in 1890 which is fitting for a theater in Ghost Town. I watched A Christmas Carol and actually enjoyed it very much although they really had to change the story (only one spirit!) in order for it to be told in half an hour. The writing needed to amend the story was often creative and humorous. The cast comes outside the theater to pose for photos with guests after the show which I thought was cool.

    My daughter, her friend and I, visited Knott's today. We realized they were calling people in last minute before closing the doors. We found some seats (they're all pretty good) and were eager to watch A Christmas Carol. The play was just the right length. Not too long, but not short either, as is typical with some rides. It may not be suitable for young squirmy children. The actors did a fabulous job. Their costumes were chosen well, their accents spot on, the lighting and sound on point, storyline done well, and more. The audience all seemed to enjoy it. This could have easily cost $40+ elsewhere. What a lovely treat, especially on a day where the temps were over 90. Well done.

    The act was good but the conditions inside were very hot and still air. Think about investing in a huge fan or sump cooler.

    Today (May 10th, Sunday), I went to Regency Movie Theater in Buena Park, Orange County, with my mom…read moreand my two brothers to watch a movie. We went to see The Devil Wears Prada 2. When I checked the movie schedule online last night, I saw an 11:30 AM showtime, so we left early in the morning to make it on time. However, when we got there, we were told that the 11:30 AM showing did not have Korean subtitles. We had driven all the way there specifically so my mom could watch the movie with Korean subtitles, so we had no choice but to buy four tickets for the 1:15 PM showing, which did have Korean subtitles. While we were waiting, we bought nachos there, charged our cell phones, and relaxed for a while and had lunch in that mall. Being able to charge our phones was a huge plus. Also, one of the female employees, who was quite tall, was very kind and told us that there was a seating area toward the back of the theater. Thanks to her, we were able to sit there for a while, charge our phones, and eat our nachos. However, there were two women's restrooms inside the theater. One of them had no hand soap at all. I went and told the female employee, and she asked me, "There's no hand soap at all?" I said there was none at all. She then told me there was another women's restroom on the other side, so I went there, and that restroom did have soap. Before the movie started, I went back to the first restroom because it was closer to the theater, but even after more than two hours, there was still no hand soap at all. I was very disappointed, so I had to go to the restroom that was much farther away from the theater. Overall, this theater has a lot of good points. The staff is friendly, the seats are pretty comfortable, the theater is clean and pleasant, you can charge your cell phone, and parking is free. Also, for older people like my mom who want to enjoy the latest Hollywood movies with Korean subtitles, that is definitely the biggest advantage. However, I do have two suggestions: I hope they maintain the restrooms better. If there is no soap at all in the restroom, it does not seem right that no one refills it for more than two hours. I wish they would provide Korean subtitles for all showtimes. If that is not possible, I hope they clearly indicate on their website which showtimes have Korean subtitles and which ones do not. We came from far away, so it was very disappointing to find out that the 11:30 AM showing did not have Korean subtitles. Because of that, we ended up wasting two hours even though we had driven all the way there specifically for the Korean subtitles.

They recline but not all the way. Since its so small every conversation, every candy wrapper, every recliner echos. If you have sensory issues this is your warning.

The employee who helped me was unbelievably rude from the start. She had a very condescending tone, barely acknowledged me, and just stood there in silence while I was trying to order, like I was inconveniencing her by being a customer. When I tried to show my ticket on the app, she told me to zoom in. I couldn't, so I offered to just read it out loud to make things easier. Instead of working with me, she snapped and raised her voice saying she has a hearing aid. Okay... but how does that justify being aggressive and unhelpful? There was zero patience, zero communication, and just an overall hostile attitude the entire interaction. It honestly felt uncomfortable and unnecessary going in the movie. It's frustrating because the theater itself is perfectly fine, but customer service like that completely kills the experience. I shouldn't feel like I'm bothering someone just to watch a movie. Wouldn't come back unless they seriously improve how they treat customers at the front.

And what a great movie that was! But I won't get into the details*. Just watch it, even if you don't get extra credits. I went on Friday when the movie premiered in theaters. When I got off work on that Friday, I could have caught the 4:50 PM showing at the Cerritos theater or the 6:00 PM showing at the Long Beach theater. Knowing that movie previews would last about a half hour before the actual start of the movie, I chose the earlier time since I was planning to cook dinner at home and didn't want to eat too late. I arrived about a couple of minutes before showtime, and there were just as many customers in front of me. However, they both had trouble opening the Regal app. I was at least able to pull up my Regal Crown Club QR code, though the rewards couldn't be seen on my screen. I knew I had a reward for a free Small drink as well as a free ticket from customer relations, the latter of which is another story I'll withhold from this review. Martin was the employee who rang me up and redeemed both rewards. However, he made a couple of missteps. First, since I got a Small drink, I should have been offered a Medium or Large size for a small upcharge. The Medium is a half dollar more than a Small while a Large is a dollar more than a Small. I was okay with settling for the free Small, but once I saw they offer Pepsi Zero Sugar, I would have been okay paying the extra $1 for a Large, which would have been eligible for a refill. Secondly, Martin mentioned that I could have gotten an Icee drink even though there's another reward for a free Small Icee that is worth 1,000 credits more than the free Small drink. However, knowing that an Icee would have way more sugar than a Pepsi Zero Sugar, I kept at it with the Pepsi Zero Sugar. Even for a Small size, it was a pretty large cup that I can't help but wonder how much larger a Large would have been! But like I said, I was okay with getting the Small. And maybe that was the better decision. I used the restroom before the movie started, and I had to go again when the movie ended. The first time, I used a restroom on the first floor that was single occupant use only. However, they have additional restrooms on the second floor, and those are the community type restrooms. As for during the movie, the auditorium was a rather small one, but had ample space between each row of reclining chairs. I sat at Row D, which was kind of close to the screen, but not nearly as close compared to an auditorium with stadium seating. The seating in this auditorium was mostly flat, but with nobody sitting in front of me, I had no trouble viewing the screen, especially when I reclined the chair as far back as it could go. The picture and sound were great. So great that during one of the scary scenes, I legit thought an earthquake was striking when it was actually the scene in the movie causing such a sudden jolt. And keep in mind, this was only the Standard viewing of the movie; had it been IMAX or even 4DX, I might have jumped out of the chair! lol Overall, it was a good experience watching the movie that I'm keeping my original rating of 4 stars out of 5. Even though it's a little further away from me than the Long Beach theater, I will definitely consider catching the next movie here if the showtimes work better for my schedule. * After the movie, I learned a tragedy had happened to one of the actors from the movie. Hudson Meek, who played one of the human antagonists in "The End of Oak Street", unfortunately passed away in late 2024. He didn't appear in that many scenes, which were filmed much earlier that year, but the posthumous release was dedicated to him. RIP Hudson Meek, gone way too soon :(

If you visited the one in Fullerton, you know that with Costco next to it, it can be very challenging to find parking on the weekends. This one is located on a strip mall and it is a very small theatre. They tend not to offer all the movies and they do not have IMAX or Dolby. Once you walk in there is a person on the stand scanning your tickets and the concession stand is right there. They do have a bar right after the concession stand and they have some claw machines. They only have one set of restrooms which are by the entrance. The theatres are small but comfortable. They have the booths that are a little bit older so they do not recline as much but they do have seat warmers. Some of their seats are showing wear and tear. If you're looking for an easy theatre to get in and get out, this is definitely the one. For us this is the theatre that we watch movies that we do not have interest to watch on IMAX or Dolby.

I'm only giving it 4 stars because the facility was extremely clean. The cashier that took care of me was so friendly and helpful. She got my order out as fast as possible. The chairs were comfortable and had seat warmers. I just don't like that they don't recline all the way but they were still comfortable enough to enjoy the show.
