There are no bad seats. The staff was warm and welcoming. We even bought some nice merch at 60% off since it was the last show of the season. The price to see the show was very reasonable and I would not hesitate to go back. Best yet, there is free parking behind the theatre.

This was a fun night of theater. This show really kept me on the edge of my seat and I am really…read morehappy that I got to see an actress I was looking forward to seeing in person. Constance Shulman, famously known for her role in orange is the new black portraying yoga Jones and voicing as Patti Mayonnaise in the animation of Doug. Although this was a world premiere, it was really fun to watch a new fresh play produced by theaterworks. I really hope that this show goes very far and I was very captivated to every scene. Everyone's acting was top-notch and I'm planning to see the show again before it closes. It opened on July 30th and it runs through August 30th. If you are in Connecticut or in the area, stop by and catch a show you won't regret it.

ORIGIN: In the 1920s and 1930s opulent palace-like movie…read moretheaters were constructed. As part of Hollywood's Warner Bros collection of theaters, the Warner Theatre in Torrington was built in 1928, with doors opening in 1931. Both use and condition of the theater declined, ultimately leading to impending demolition in the early 1980s. A visionary group of community members created a non-profit to save the theater and raise funds for its restoration. Evergreene Architectural Arts and Sevigny Architects helped restore the surfaces that had been designed by legendary Thomas Lamb. Full restoration of the structure and internal systems was achieved and celebrated in 2002. CONCEPT: The restored Warner Theatre has expanded its activities beyond film screenings. Opportunities for patrons to see various performing arts, including dance, music, and plays, are now available within the original theater and surrounding spaces. There is something for everyone -- see the theater's website for upcoming schedule of activities. It's one of several rewarding ways the restored theater can be supported. LOCATION: The theater is located along the main thoroughfare for Torrington. EXPERIENCE: I enjoyed a performance of Swan Lake thanks to World Ballet Company and had opportunity to marvel at both the performance and building interior. TIPS: Make a memorable evening by dining before the event at Geppetto's, just around the corner, and/or head to Sasso's secret lounge (Franklin Lounge) for a post-event cocktail. A free parking lot is near the theater. The theater offers costume rentals. Schedule a visit to their 8,000 square foot storage room by contacting Renee Purdy.

Because it is a small, intimate theater, you can really appreciate facial expressions and hear vocals and dialogue. With the orchestra tucked up above the stage, you're wicked close to the action.

You are in a residential area and must find on street parking. Bring cash for snacks. Also, there was a spontaneous auction of a handcrafted Repertory Theater mascot to raise funds.

Owner and Artistic Director Kris McMurray Rocks the cabaret scene like no other. His choice of shows varies each season: there's a bit of drama, mystery, music and comedy. Lots of laughs! He has award winning artists, veteran performers and fresh newcomers that blend together in the most heartfelt winning way, you can see the genuine camaraderie of the actors. Tonight's show was Calendar Girls and what a great show it was! Based on the movie there were some touching moments, some uplifting moments and some down right laugh out loud moments! This show has been sold out for every show. There's a good reason for it! Kris will give you the option of purchasing one show at a time or if you purchase the season he graciously adds in a voucher to bring a friend free of charge. Can't hate that! Give it a look see! You won't be disappointed. Tell Kris Kim sentcha!

ORIGIN: The site of the Bantam Cinema & Arts Center is said…read moreto be the oldest movie theater in Connecticut. A local grocer, Domenico Evangelisti, opened the then named Rivoli Theater in 1929. Apparently equally visionary, the owner of neighboring Bantam Ball Bearing Company had periodically entertained employees with silent movies, and sold the projector to Evangelisti's son before shifting manufacturing out-of-state to be near the emerging South Bend automobile industry. CONCEPT: Their vision has since been sustained by local aficionados of the arts -- most recently a dedicated group of community members who established non-profit status for the historic theater in 2021. EXPERIENCE: Expect to see viewers reconnecting and chatting before and after the showings. The Cinema remains a community space. TIP: Enjoy dinner, sweet, and/or drink at neighboring restaurants -- La Catrina, Arethusa, Materia.

There's one long room, almost a hallway, with two larger rooms off of it. One of the rooms had a bar set up. It's very hipster-feeling with exposed brick and (being an old factory) super tall ceilings. The two bathrooms are kinda sketchy -- basically lean-to's with somewhat untrustworthy locks. It's a bit of a strange set-up for a party, since I'm not sure where you'd really seat people unless it was a small party. Parking is nice, with a huge lot across the street, and there's a brewery right next door, which is definitely a perk.

There are 3 huge rooms and one garden room. I guess this place is used for art shows, private parties, and wedding parties as well. Not sure how much they charge to rent out the place, but if you're looking for a lot of space to do so for about 50-80 people I recommend this. There's plenty of parking so you won't have an issue. PROS: -Lots of space -Opportunity for great parties -Easy parking CONS: -Some people may not like the area that it is in(Off of Park St in Hartford) -Could be hot on some days(no AC or fans)

Our matinee movie ticket was $13. Candy was $6 per item. We passed on the popcorn. The bathrooms did not seem very clean, and one of the faucets was broken. Entering the theatre and walking up to our seats at the top, the stairs were soo dark I tripped, and we ended up having to use our flashlights to find our seats, because the row and numbers for the seats were missing (we were the only ones in the room at that point). We finally counted to where our seats were, and the recliners did not work. The leather was cracked. No one told us these seats were out of order. We tried some next to them, same thing. Thankfully it was not a busy showing and we were able to find seats that were unoccupied and working. But it seems crazy to me that they are ok selling a regular-priced ticket for a broken and cracked recliner. The overall quality and sound of the movie playing, however, was good.
