We took a rideshare but there is plenty of pay parking in the area. Inside, the theater is decorated with pretty gold molding but not in a pretentious way. This theater is actually way more humbly decorated than the grandly designed Majestic and the perfect size for a more intimate show. We bought a couple drinks while there and never felt like we were waiting too long to get our drinks. We were in the orchestra section where the nearest restrooms were down a rather steep set of stairs, but there are elevators with direct access as well. Great venue to see a show!

The subject matter of the play was interesting, and the cast did a great job. At the end of the play one of the actors said"to the gringos in the audience" and stuck his middle finger up then stated "up yours". This was uncalled for and a very rude gesture to any white people in the audience. One of the male speakers after the show was evidently a dreamer who has had years to have become a citizen, but has not and bashes this country where he has had achieved hinges he may not have achieved had his family been deported.

The fact that we still have some sorta cultural arts center in a city that still caters to sports…read moreand metal is no small feat. The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center is living proof that there is still a need for the arts in our city and that local grassroots businesses can still thrive here. I went to the Cine-festival on this night, to catch a movie about masked wrestlers and then a full length feature movie. The venue is really nice, looks like a theater from days of old. It's pretty bare bones. One of the caveats here is the parking situation. When they have music, theatrical or cine events the parking situation can prove to be hairy here. You can park alongside the theater, like most patrons do to avoid the dirt way parking provided by the theater. My advice is to get there super early so you can get the best parking and also seating for any event. The last minute stragglers are usually the ones you hear gasping, sighing or rolling their eyes. But like the old adage, which is the case with most situations, "the early bird does indeed get the worm." Another bit of concern and contention are the concession prices. On this day I bought a bucket of popcorn smaller than the one you would get a the Regal for 8 bucks. And on top of that the brewskies are not cheap here either. But my understanding is that most of those monies go back into funding the center, so buy at least one thing, it will be for a good cause. The seating is kinda interesting too. Since it wavers between a venue for music and movies your view can be obstructed. And if you are a shorty like me, it just takes some tall Flint-stone headed person to ruin your experience. Again, choose your seating wisely; get there early to prevent this. Given all this you say why do I give it a 5 star rating? Because unlike other venues this is really an intimate setting to see entertainment. Big name producers, filmmakers clammer to get their films shown here. On this night I saw David Riker's excellent film, "The Girl". What made this night truly special is a few seats away the director was checking out the movie with the rest of the audience. It made the experience that much greater. What was also a nice touch is that after the Q and A, the theater allows you to speak to the director. Other events I have been to in the past prohibit any interaction with directors or entertainers. The vibe of the theater allows you to enjoy the event up-close and personal. They truly take the experience of the patron to heart and value that relationship. While there are still some cultural venues in our city we actually need more like this one. When the arts dies in this city, its unique spirit will leave also. Think Globally. Support Locally.

That's how I floated into this magical spot on their second weekend. I was unsure about the location in an old nightclub in a forgotten strip off Fredericksburg, but game for some Sweet Transvestite action. It's a small space; I believe "intimate" would be the proper euphemism. From the start of the show, I knew it would be entertaining, but I was pleasantly surprised HOW entertained I was. The production was spirited and clever and campy in all the right ways. The show was well cast, with the actors all pouring their hearts out, clearly having fun in the process. Being an 'intimate' theatre, the actors were available after, posing for pictures and chatting. That's when I learned a bit of background: the Roxie comes to us via a veteran of San Antonio theatre. The morning after, I did a little googlin' ... check out the Rivard Report's writeup: http://therivardreport.com/the-roxie-360-degrees-of-theatre-one-former-nightclub/ I'm sad the new owners of the Cameo don't get what a cool guy their buddy Jesus was, but there's truth to that "one door closes; another opens" bit; I'm excited to see how Roxie takes on stage in our big little town morphing into a proper city. San Antonio actors are lucky to have The Roxie, and so are we: get thee to the theatre to support this little upstart! What Mixtli is to the San Antonio food scene, the Roxie is to the Performing Arts: it's founded on the passion of a musical theatre geek, with a commitment to quality (if deliciously less "high minded"). Lucky for us, there are more seats than a "showing" at Mixtli. I can't wait to see what they'll dream up if they can pack the place with enthusiastic audiences. (I keep hearing Frank-n-furter sing "Don't dreeeaammm it / BeeEEE iiiit" in my head as I write this...) I'm going back for more! Refreshments served before show, at intermission, and probably after(?). Miller Lite, Coors Light, and Miller High Life (!) tallboys available for $5; Blue Moon tallboy, Busted Sandal's 210, and a coupla other flavors for $7. Wine $6.

When you go check out their movies, generally you can take your own blankets, food, drinks, chairs, etc. There's no bad seat in the house, since the screen is so big! I love what these guys are doing to make new use of public spaces around SA to turn any park into a movie theater! SA has so many pleasant evenings, it's a great way to get outdoors and still catch up on a movie.
