    Uninspired and downright awful architecture and somewhat weird parking lots spread out make this a somewhat uninviting venue from the outside. However, free parking in this day of being gouged for just about everything is a big plus. The auditorium is much larger inside that one would expect by perusing the seating chart. Seats are big and very comfy. Plenty of legroom. Great acoustics. Not a bad seat in the house. Ushers were friendly but very slow and inefficient at checking tickets. Overall, it's just okay.

    Nice auditorium and nice singing and dancing from the performers. Clean and well-maintained place for big events.

    The whole building kinda looks like a brick and cedar slat spaceship that has descended on Trinity University.

    I enjoyed the performance tonight and regret that I have missed eleven seasons before deciding to…read morecome to this theater! The experience far exceeded my expectations, very entertaining and put on by a diverse and devoted group of people, both on and off stage. Tonight's performamce was Miss Bennet, Christmas at Pemberley. It was very entertaining and also very moving, we left the theater with alot to reflect on and think about. We bought our tickets online at www.classictheatre.org

    This is a cute little hole-in-the-wall, black box theater that brings an intimate look into the…read moretheatrical productions it produces. The theater itself is attached to the Woodlawn Theater and shares restroom facilities with the Woodlawn. Running a separate series of smaller shows, the Classic Theater offers a theater-in-the-round experience with the audience seated on all sides of the theater which can allow audience interaction with the professional cast. The seating is comfortable, but you'll need the intermission to get up and stretch your legs as the chairs can get a tad uncomfortable. The theater also allows no outside food or drinks, but does have water and wine for donation (at least this was during the show we attended). Overall, the cast was excellent in Midsummer Night's Dream. They brought a refreshing perspective and performance for Shakespeare's work, which truly showed why Shakespeare should be consumed in theatrical form rather than reading, and the acting was intimate and, yet, bombastic at the same time. The cast really showed skill and thought with each word spoken, and they brought the characters to life while leaving themselves behind. With the theater-in-the-round, they worked the entire room as well as made me feel that the show was put on solely for me. I had had that same sense of disbelief in quite a long time during a theatrical production. The quality of the production also showed. Even though it seemed like a relatively low budget affair, it wasn't lacking the quality of a truly great show. My husband and I are already planning our time back to enjoy another production and we look forward to becoming regular patrons of the arts at the Classic.

This theater is located in the Wonderland mall, downstairs by the food court, in the old movie theater space once called The Bijou. How they've renovated the space to house quality theater now is impressive. This place is officially in our radar and we can't wait to experience another show.

    I saw a play this weekend, in a theater at Wonderland of the Americas, and was surprised to see…read morethat the old Bijou was converted into a community theater. The Bijou, which was known for showing more art and independent movies and served food, is now the Wonder Theater. The play was the Wiz and was pretty good as far as community theater goes. Many of the plays for this season's lineup are geared towards children and are affordable. The ticket prices were: $36.00 adults, $26.00 seniors and $18.00 students and children. The lobby, concession stand and seating area have been revamped, and a small stage has been added. Seating is fairly spacious, with new seats and a very clean theater. The lobby area is similar to the Bijou's, with a small full serve concession stand, selling popcorn and other goodies. This locale is worth a visit if you are partial to theater, regardless of it being Broadway or community. Many of the shows are from Friday to Sunday, and are great way to spend the afternoon/evening.

Prepaid garage or valet parking options are available as well as a convenient parking lot a short walk away. The show was loud, especially for an acoustic performance, but the sound quality was great. Overall, there is a variety of price points, so you can splurge on club seating with table service, or choose the balcony to save the piggy bank. We sat in the mezzanine section however next time I would prefer to sit closer to the stage. While some of the ticket prices were on the high side, you can sign up for the newsletter to receive discounts on upcoming shows. The price of drinks was outrageous but sadly typical for a concert. I did not order food or beverages but be sure you view the menu / price list ahead of your visit. There was no meet & greet or photo opportunity offered for this event but I hope that is an option at future events. Definitely consider the Tobin when your favorite band is in town!

I will say if you go for an orchestra, avoid the lower orchestra outer edge seats as there's no exit aisle. You have to walk past your entire row to get to the spot if you are a bigger man. Most shows will have an intermission which allows you to get up, use RR, grab a quick snack and get back to your seat in time for the action. Modern meets classic. Classic exterior, modern exterior and interior. I suggest coming for a classical music performance and when coming with a date, sit in the mezzanine. Great view and feels more intimate.
