Never heard of anything like that. Well, this place is a crock. Several years ago, maybe 10 years…read moreago, my mother bought our family a gift certificate. It says it's good till 2035. Well, don't try to use it. I walked in today to use it. "Oh, it's not in our computer anymore. It's too old. We have to have the master ledger from somebody's house, but you can use it next season." OK, not a very professional place. I will definitely let my family know that their gift certificates may not be valid.

Unfortunately they had a last minute family emergency with a main cast member,but they pivoted and were able to have a cast member playing a smaller part step in and called another to help fill in for the other smaller part. They pulled it off pretty seamlessly and put on a very entertaining and funny show.Sunset Playhouse always comes through and is a true class act and asset to the community! A great idea for a wonderful night out is what the Sunset Playhouse is all about.

Show: Newsies Performance: July 24, 2025 (Opening Night)…read more WOW! I am a huge Newsies fan, so it takes a lot to impress me with this show. I can say whole-heartedly that I left this performance stunned, amazed, and eager to come back for closing weekend. I paid $15 for a student ticket, and GCT put on one amazing production well worth my money. I would've willingly paid double for this performance. The cast was amazing and performed better than actors in a professional production of Newsies that I saw in 2018. These actors are going places!!! The lighting and set design was great too. The stylistic choices made (I won't spoil, but I'm giving a special shout out to the Brooklyn newsies for their part in the show) were in good taste and helped involve the audience in the show's setting. My only complaint with this is the seating in the theatre. The wooden armrests allow no room for flexibility, and the seats are not super wide. If you're someone who needs more room or accessibility in your seating, I definitely recommend reaching out to the box office to see what options you may have. GCT also partners with a local charity organization for every show they put on. Donations for this show go to the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, which is super fitting for the themes of this show. I absolutely love that this group gives back to the community. Overall, this is a stellar production, and I HIGHLY encourage everyone to go see it. Well done, GCT!

This is a theater within a school - worth knowing if you're not from the local area! We did not…read moreknow this, so we were quite surprised when our Uber pulled up in a high school parking lot. There's no bar, of course. The theater is pretty comfortable, but sound quality will depend on whether the performer brings their own equipment or uses the school's. We were in the second row on the right side, and the speakers were so loud it was really uncomfortable. We moved back and it was better. This might be a better venue for plays and musicals than for loud rock 'n' roll musical acts.

This place was excellent! We came to watch The Sound of Music put on by Christian Youth Theater…read more(which was phenomenal!) and had a great time. All the staff was very friendly, helpful about assisting for seating arrangements, where to go, how to get there, etc. There were many people to assist outside and inside the theater for any direction you may need to find things like the concessions stand, bathrooms, exits. The entire place was very very clean, so you didn't have to worry about sitting on a seat that previously had gum on it or anything. The areas were roomy enough, and you didn't feel like you were packed in. It's still close quarters, but you have enough room to enjoy your time there. There were plenty of people there to assist in anything that was to come up, like if there were sound issues, technical difficulties, or similar.

After not having a home base for several years, Bombshell has found one in Brookfield. This…read moreintimate (61 seats) venue is in an easy location and has free parking right at the door. We saw Into the Woods last night and were highly impressed with the staging, which was clever and used wall-to-wall, including a side off-stage area. Not to spoil, but Grandma in bed was incredibly unique, and the many entrances on all sides were utilized fully and made the story very fun. The actors were OUTSTANDING! This theater is so intimate that there is no sound microphone system, so projection is mandatory. Every one of the actors had a voice that was clear and beautiful. Almost the entire show is sung, and to pull this off is not easy. But every cast member held their own, and even with a hearing impairment (me), I could follow the story so well. The costumes were incredibly creative and clever. Each character was defined at their first step on stage. There are refreshments and snacks available for purchase, and the variety is really good. I rarely find what I want, but Bombshell had me choosing from several options. As Bombshell is a not-for-profit theatre, the work done here is obviously a labor of love. We attend many theater events, but this one was special; intimate, clever, top-quality actors and a set design that belies the size of the stage. The one downside is the lack of accessibility. This theatre is on the second floor of a multi-use building, but there is no elevator, which is a real shame. If you can make it up the stairs, the restrooms are small and shared with the other businesses in the building. The cost of a small theater obviously prohibits a high rent/purchase, but I hope Bombshell is successful and can upgrade in the near future to include those with mobility issues. The upcoming season looks really fun, and I plan to attend as many shows as possible. To be able to attend such high-quality theater right in my backyard is a gift that I do not intend to squander. Subscription pricing is great and probably a good idea since this show was a fully sold-out production. The word is out, and I'm pretty sure the seats will be filled quickly.

Upon entering the theater, small bags and purses were checked then the usher checked our tickets. The historical theater's lobby is ornate. There's a small lounge on the side of the main entry. This area is defiantly additional holding area. The cleaned washrooms are located on the ground floor. The ushers were friendly to show us to our seats which was located in front of the red skirt. The theater is compact with great views of the stage. Overall, I thought this theater was great and I would return for another show.

My mom and I went recently to their production of Top Girls. The theater space the show was in was perfectly intimate (not a bad seat in the house). I love enjoying plays in such small venues. To be able to see the actors every facial expression and gesture completely captivates me. The play was beautifully acted and thought provoking. It was a great play to see with my mom (who was staying with me for a couple weeks). We ended up having some great conversations about it! If you go to see one of their shows on a Wednesday evening, it's wine Wednesday! You get a complimentary glass of wine with the play. Oh...and they gave us chocolates (like really amazing, rich bites of heavenly goodness) as we exited. What a lovely evening! Get to it!

Founded in 1993, Renaissance Theaterworks is Milwaukee's only women-founded, women-run theatre…read morecompany. Their mission is to "create compelling theater focusing on the exploration of the feminine voice and to offer professional opportunities to emerging local theater artists." I've seen two of their excellent offerings written by 2009 Playwright in Residence (part-founder) Marie Kohler: Boswell's Dreams (2005) and the Dig (2009). Both plays were intriguing and well worth my art dollars. The company has since taken up residence at the 100-person seat Studio Theater in the Broadway Theater complex. With the Third Ward location one can easily find plenty of restaurants nearby to make this a nice centerpiece for a night out. Parking in the lot next door is $5 or you might be lucky to find an open meter space. Renaissance Theaterworks is well worth your time and support! Support the Arts, Milwaukee!
