San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre stepped in for the Lumina gala with exactly that -- and it's the kind of contribution that reminds you how important live theater is to a community. There's something about sitting in a room, lights down, story unfolding, that still feels a little magical -- and SLO REP clearly understands how to keep that magic alive while showing up for causes that matter. Supporting women and families and giving people a reason to get dressed up and feel something? That's a win all the way around. Art with a heartbeat. And a community that shows up.

What a treat! First timer, heard about The Christmas Story play and that's my favorite Christmas…read moremovie. Went to a matinee 2pm on a Saturday. When you first walk in they have a little bar set up selling beer and wine and non alcoholic drinks. Lots of tables to sit at and enjoy and even a small outdoor private patio. Theater doors open 15 mins before show time. The seats remind me of old Fremont theater. Not a bad seat in the house. The play was great! The actors did an awesome job recreating the film. I love how they are constantly moving the set around for different scenes. Looking forward to returning for other plays through out the year.

Clean, spacious, organized, great seating. Unfortunately my…read morelatest experience there was a miserable joke of a show, but from what I understand this page is about the business and not the people who rented it for that abhorrent, "The Little Shop of Horrors" by 'Wine Country Theatre' had to have been the shoddiest performance I've seen since my nieces middle school play. That said, as usual, the venue knocked it out of the park, as I sat through that visual and audio assault, I was comfortable. It's incredible that the high school performances there are stark in comparison. What actual professionalism and passion looks like vs a bunch of people who thought "hey let's do a play". Thank you for the wonderful experiences, hopefully the next show I attend can wash out the previous one.

We came for the second day of their San Luis Obispo engagement, it was their new show masquerade, and it was amazing. All in all 2+ hours, and it flew by like a moment. The price is fraction of the other cirque show, and so much pure fun. Clown act was a common thread, and it was creative and thoughtful fun. Other elements are as impressive, with highlight a bunch of motorcycles riding in a dome. Highly highly recommend. Tip/ try to sit in the center, facing the center stage; rows 5-8.

The crowd is alive and the laughter is contagious. The cast is so talented and they get actors from all over the US. PCPA grads and more. They even serve you at the snack bar and they love and deserve tips. Book online. No printed tickets necessary. They either look up your name or you show them your pdf tickets that are emailed to you. Small place gets crammed with people but it's all good because you're close to the action.

I recommend getting pitchers of beer instead of just pints. The actors work the concession stand. Actors take your order in line then other actors serve your items at the stand. Be sure to tip. They have two intermissions. The actors use the walk ways during the show, so be sure not to block them. At the end, throw your trash and recyclables in the correct bins and put your glassware in the tubs. It's not too expensive and worth the price. I recommend this experience.

Tie that together with the piano bar and live music at the interludes, bring along good friends and one can't help but have a good time. Wow! and all in my little county!

As a teacher, Aaron is the type of multifaceted mentor who gets right to business -- especially if he knows there's an audition on the line, he delves in efficiently and thoughtfully, really helping my daughter unpack what the character and/or scenes would most benefit from.
