After seeing three different performances at three different venues, AVLT has become one of my…read morefavorite live theatre experiences in Columbus. Each production has pushed a boundary, and while a few company members reappear in different productions, they generally bring fresh faces and voices to each new story. I'm really excited for what the AVLT company plans to bring with the new season, and I encourage people to try them out. One of AVLT's best features is their "Pay what you want" program - just show up, and if the show isn't sold out you can get in for as little or as much as you can afford. If you like the show well enough to throw a few more dollars at the fishbowl on the way out, so much the better! These guys are good, they're local, and they're unique. Go see a show!

We went to the new season fundraiser last night. They raised lots of money for "pay what you…read morewant". We got a preview of their next show Falsetto. The troupe also showed great versatility in their sketch work. As a plus we got to eat some great Katzinger snacks. Make your way to the new season, support local theatre, and have some Columbus fun. We are big fans.

Gorgeous theater! I came here with friends to see Hadestown and we had an amazing time. We got…read morethere early and parked in the structure right next to the theater. It was busy on the street prior to doors opening but we got through security quickly. I wish that they had streamlined the lobby area more because we had to wait for every group to be led to their seats. This caused a major backup in the small lobby and it was difficult to get around. Once we got to our seats we were able to clearly see the stage and enjoy the view. The seats were vintage and comfy enough. The gold accents everywhere were beautifully classic. Getting down to the bathrooms was a bit challenging with all of the stairs, and the women's restroom had openings on both sides so it was difficult to tell who was next in line. There was a small medical emergency during the show and the staff handled the entire situation swiftly, calmly, and safely. I was very impressed with this theater and can't wait to come back to see another show!

It is a true community theatre and I appreciate the unique, diverse programming. My review will be based on a recent movie going experience. Pros: 1. See above. 2. Cool art deco interior. 3. Close to lots of dining options for pre or post movie meals. 4. Shows limited release movies. 5. Restrooms are very clean. Cons: 1. The theatre our movie was in was the smallest I have ever been in. Five rows of seats total. Even in the last row, it was uncomfortably close to the screen. 2. Did not seem to have surround sound and movie dialogue was sometimes hard to hear. 3. Parking situation is a little wonky. They have a small shared lot behind the theater, but there is no back door into the theatre (?) You have to walk around the block or through the grocery store parking lot to get to the front entrance.

Some major acoustical treatments have made in the last year, so the theater has great acoustics for both plays and music.

The Recreation Center does not permit alcohol, so there is none available at the concessions.

Still, it's large enough for good companies (such as Tantrum) to build large, creative sets. Located within the Dublin Recreation Center, parking is ample. The Dublin community is beyond fortunate to have a professional company as creative and accessible as Tantrum's right in their own backyard. The facilities at the Abbey are top-notch, and the shows by Tantrum are worth every reasonably-priced penny. Check out tantrumtheater.org for information about shows at the Abbey Theater.

For our visit, they were showing the silent version of The Phantom of the Opera with a live orchestra. This was our first visit to this theater so we got there early to look around. There is a convenient parking garage located directly behind the theater and if you remember to ask, they will validate your parking ticket for $2.00 (we did not remember to do this so we paid $11.50 for three hours!!). They were showing this film on Halloween night, which was also a Friday night, so the University District was hopping! It was fun to walk around and see all of the costumes and various parties going on before heading into see our movie. Since this was a special showing it cost us around $55.00 for our tickets, but we ordered them in advance and were able to pick the seats we wanted. They allowed everyone inside the theater 15 minutes early, so there was quite a long line waiting once we were near the theater door. We saw others carrying soda and popcorn, but couldn't figure out where the concessions stand was! We were barely able to figure out where to find the bathrooms, so we gave up on the popcorn once the door opened for the movie. Once the door was opened, we went in and found our seats. Very comfy seats!!! We sat in the fifth row, so the screen was higher than our seats, but oh so cozy. The show was fantastic, the live orchestra did a smashing job! Very enjoyable visit!!

I had wandered in after hearing about a pub crawl and being told there would be tours offered of the theater. I was there a little early and the tour guides weren't on site yet but was offered a tour by Brian, which I was more than happy to accept! He was incredibly knowledgeable and personable as he explained the theater's rich history through facts, pictures and personal stories. It was WONDERFUL! I really appreciate him and the other staff members taking the time to make my visit fun and unique!
