It feels old, anyway.

The whole "family friendly, filth free" thing makes me roll my eyes, though, really.

We were able to snag free street parking right next the theatre, greeted promptly and kindly upon arrival and checked in just a few feet from the door. We bypassed the concessions stand - which stemmed quite popular - and were escorted to our seats. Comfortable seating, possibly not a bad view in the house. Beautifully maintained. Great acoustics. And an AMAZING show! I cannot wait to return!

At the Atlanta Lyric Theatre, we were presented a…read morebroadway caliber production on a modern stage with modern equipment and greeted by friendly faces. We drove nearly four hours to attend this production, as I've always wanted to see Next to Normal on stage. I had never heard of the Lyric, so I checked their promo materials on instagram prior to investing in the drive and cost. It was worth it. The production was outstanding, beautifully staged, and there was so so so much talent. The lighting and scenic design were modern, sleek, and minimalist. The show should have been sold out because so much talent was involved. They had concessions and friendly front of house staff. Our only complaint was that we were on the front row, and the monitor speakers were places along the apron of the stage, which blocked action center stage terribly. If you have the opportunity to see a production here, do it. You won't regret.

I can't remember the shows we've seen over the years, but each and every one has been professionally executed. From the talent, to the sets, to the costumes -- perfect!

The last guy actually had me in tears laughing. He was great!! The 3 that weren't funny was more than just not funny they told jokes that I didn't think were appropriate for the audience and stuff that I personally don't think should be made into jokes. Suicide is not a laughing matter. Especially having people in the audience that it has effected in such a life altering way.. I just don't think that should ever be a joke. Religious jokes can be funny to a small degree but the lady from last night took it too far and it was very distasteful. There are sooo many things you can joke about but those are categories imo you should just stay away from. I go to the comedy catch in Tennessee and I die laughing Every time I am there. I love to laugh and have a good time. I don't know if the comedians from last night (that were not funny) were regulars or not but I hope not. I'd like to come back.

We came here last week to see Matilda The Musical. Overall, I think Jennie T. Anderson Theatre is…read morea good small venue for local theater groups. This 606 seat performing arts theater is part of the Cobb County Civic Center complex. The main parking lot is huge, so there shouldn't be a parking issue for any production or event at the theater. The lobby, in my opinion, is way too small for the theater. We showed up an hour before show time, and got our tickets from the impromptu Will Call table. There were some padded benches in the middle of the tiny lobby, so we, and 14 other people, sat there until the theater doors were opened about 30 minutes before the performance. Theater goers continued to enter the lobby, and it got so noisy and packed that people walking by kept brushing up against me, and a few of them actually stepped on my shoes while I was sitting. Like I stated, the lobby is way too small for the theater. I think that they should limit the number of people allowed in the lobby. When both sets of doors leading from the lobby to the theater (one set of doors on each side of the lobby) opened, people started streaming out of the lobby. We walked into the theater to find our seats, which were towards the back of the theater. Nice padded seats! There are only 17 rows of seats, and everyone has a clear view of the stage. ADA seating is allowed in the first and last rows, where there are no steps. However, everyone in the other rows need to be able to walk up and down steps to get to and from their seats. The sound system is very good, as is the lighting. From what I saw the theater is well maintained. This is a nice place to see shows without having to pay big bucks.

Not NYC Broadway quality but great by local standards. Most recently (12/21/19) we saw "Home for the Holidays". Good musical production of local talent. Numerous performers from the Cobb County Center for excellence in the performing arts, with a band on stage for musical accompaniment. Great variety of holiday songs and dancing. We were seated in the LAST row for this show, but still had great view of the stage as the theatre is relatively small. Several pictures are enclosed. Easy to find location. Plenty of free parking. Easy access to I-75. One note: This theartre is also called "Jennie T. Anderson Theatre". Am surprised I am first to review this fine place.

There is a separate photo room/mini bar. It is tucked away and actually has some good lighting & items that could serve as props while taking pictures or selfies. Some of the negatives are that there is only one small bathroom per gender. I do commend them on clean restrooms. Also, the chairs were metal, hard & high up on bleacher type wooden stands. Otherwise the decor was cool. The rest of this review is about the show & how it played out in the venue. I saw a show called F.E.M. It is a coming of age TRUE story of a black gay man naked Erik Dillard who was adopted, bullied & finally living his best life at age 40 in Atlanta. With that in mind, the props crew was definitely set to handle a lot of tasks. They had giant pictures, chairs, and other furniture that represented Erik's ENTIRE life in 2 1/2 hours. I found the staff overwhelmingly professional. They alone get a 5/5. I just think the seats need cushions & maybe 20+ minutes for the intermission would be great for the one bathroom per gender.

I've been an actress (film & stage) for over ten years, so I wasn't expecting to learn anything new, but her course was taught so eloquently that for the first time, I truly felt coached. She was able to break down advanced acting techniques in ways that were easy to understand. Her love for acting and for her students really shined through as she addressed each person by name and remembered what they specifically needed to work on. I was blown away by the precision in which she administered critiques, while remaining kind and encouraging. Coaches of this caliber are similar to the ones I've worked with on Broadway sets. I couldn't believe I stumbled upon this gem in a local Marietta studio. Her knowledge transcended the stage as she explained how to apply certain acting techniques to everyday life. She was kind enough to help me with a presentation I needed to deliver at work. I followed her advice, not expecting much, but actually ended up receiving a promotion. I hardly write YELP reviews, but I just had to share after that. Kia E. is one of the most talented and outstanding acting coaches out there.

Thankfully, there were only six other people in the theater, so we were able to move to different seats. On a positive note, the staff was friendly and helpful. I just hope the theater addresses the condition of the seats, as it used to be much better maintained.
