The production of "Fences" which we attended was well produced, and directed. The staging and costumes were so well done they enhanced the overall power of the play. The acting was breathtaking and the characters were believable and empathetic. The lead actor gave as powerful a performance as you could possibly imagine. I can't wait for the next production! We will be in attendance.

This is one of the best and most comfortable small playhouses in OC. Run by Mike & Steve, who have…read morebeen there for years. The shows are time notch, and their directors like Kathy P., in a class by herself, she's just terrific! Every show I've seen there was well cast, had great props and was very entertaining. I go here regularly, bringing my theater group almost buying out the theater it's so popular. The group of us love their productions and their large lobby with a snack bar is great and very clean bathrooms. Not a bad seat in the house, and the stage is pretty large for a small community theater. It may be tricky to find, since they are located on the campus of a high school, but don't let that deter you. See you all next month for "Street Car Named Desire" and the following month, "The Whale" which is a great show!

South Coast Repertory is an intimate, mid-sized theater. We've enjoyed plays and a musical there…read more Since it's small, the view has always been good from any section we've sat in. I enjoy when the actors or musicians are interviewed and we can hear their story. The staff is very helpful and friendly. There are snacks, drinks and photo ops available.

Nice theater- not too big where you get lost in it or where the stage is so far away-not a bad seat…read morein the house- staff were so welcoming and helpful - purchased tickets at the box office and that was a smooth transaction. Large clean restroom with plenty of stalls. Seats were comfortable. Covered drinks allowed in theater- no snacking in theater but ok in lobby. Paid Parking structure - theater is across from south coast plaza. Had a really nice experience.

The recent Sound of Music production was entertaining and moving. They had an outstanding cast with…read morepower voices. The set and costumes were exquisitely detailed. Although it was long, it went fast. They could have cut the dance sequence between Liezl and the boy. One thing that they could have done is to replace "goodbye" with "good night" when the kids are going to bed. Then when they sing it the second time around, then it is appropriate to say goodbye.

Went on Wednesday and it was lovely!!!!…read more They added a couple of songs and intros that actually improved the storyline by giving it a little more depth. The one with Baronness, Max, and Georg was fabulous!!! The kids were SO good! The set design with the large sliding wall was so clever and added a lot of movement. Mother Superior and Maria had beautiful voices. Bonus: Alpine Delight cocktail was delicious!

This was a very nice surprise! I didn't even know that this theater existed! It's intimate with…read morecomfortable chairs and this was the best production of Legally Blonde I have seen!

This year, the Ubefest was insanely busy. Many of the vendors ran out of food products before 2 PM…read morewhich was a huge disappointment. Lines were horrendously long, people slowed down the ordering process by asking for samples at the order window. Better planning needs to made for a better experience. The music is deafening. Trash was everywhere!!! The plus side was that more tables and chairs were added. Porto potties were filthy and sinks ran out of water for washing making this a health hazard.

We absolutely LOVE this little theater!! We've been to several plays here over the years and none…read moreof them have ever disappointed!! I want to say that the theater holds maybe 75-100 people...? Comfy seats and every seat is a great view. Prices are great, our last show was $39 each. The actors are fun and you can tell they absolutely love doing what they do. They are there to make everyone happy including themselves and their fellow castmates. There is a bar with drinks and snacks, we've even seen shirts for sale! We are considering purchasing a "B Season Pass" so we don't miss out on the shows this coming year, some sell out fast! I hate to even give a great review because I don't want people to buy up all the seats from under us, but yet I want to also give this theater a huge and happy round of applause for being FANTASTIC!! We will see you again soon! Cheers!

We have been coming to shows at the Maverick for years. My…read morewife bought us tickets to their incredible "Night of the Living Dead" play. It was the best surprise- I had no idea until we arrived. The Maverick puts on this play every year and it is outstanding. Their seasons always bring unique, quirky shows. From King Kong to Rocky Horror to Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. There is always something cool happening. Brian, the owner, is dedicated to theater and is a friendly, welcoming guy. The staff and actors are wonderful as well. Probably our favorite local theater.

These shows are beyond anything you can imagine! For 40 years they have put on shows that are…read moreastounding and mesmerizing. It is hard to imagine what they can do to top the last show that you see but they do not disappoint. The nice thing is that they have many traveling shows and resident (Vegas) shows so you will not be bored with the many acrobatic, juggling, contortionist,comedy and unique music.

Cirque de Soleil rarely disappoints. I have seen about ten of their shows in So Cal and Vegas and…read morethis one was simply stunning from a visual and style perspective. It's a tent in a parking lot, folks....how good can it be? Well, once you walk in, you get that they spent some time, money and effort transforming it into a wonderful show place. The stage is a real highlight transforming from water to trapeze to giant treadmill to rotating waterfall...it was spectacular. Great music, great costumes, great talent. Easy parking for only $10. Lots of souvenir, snack and beverage choices...pricey, but available and clean portable bathroom trailers. Just a killer show at the conveniently located OC Fairgrounds.

We saw on line that they have events and we came to check it out. We bought our tickets on line for a jazz trio. We both love Jazz. The theater is big and beautiful. The seats in the theater are plush and comfortable. The best part is the aucustics. The sound is amazing. I would highly recommend this performing arts theater. The people are really friendly and the grounds are beyond breath taking.

Joe Sumner (Sting's son) and Veronica Swift were both featured signers. They performed a number of David Bowie songs, and they all sounded great. The event raised money for the charity and the audience truly enjoyed the evening. The staff at the Center were all friendly. I would not hesitate going to another event at the Center.
