You simply can't take your eyes off of them! Music director Megan Schoenbohm, from whom I sat a mere ten feet from, was herself fascinating to watch as she meticulously and flawlessly conducted her musicians from one Morissette hit to another  (while on guitar and harmonica). The intimate and cozy NTC routinely delivers outstanding productions. Add this one to the long list.

I recently attended the Novato Theater Company's production of Thornton Wilder's "The Skin of Our…read moreTeeth", and it was a delight from start to finish. The cast delivered strong, energetic performances that brought Wilder's wit, humanity and inventive storytelling vividly to life. Balancing humor with deeper reflections on resilience and survival, the production was both entertaining and thought-provoking. I highly recommend this play to anyone looking for smart, engaging theater that lingers with you long after the curtain call. The production is through February 15, 2026 - https://www.novatotheatercompany.org/

Our family has participated in shows with Katia and Company for the last three years, and we have…read moremany more years ahead of us. Done right, performing builds confidence, teamwork, timing, problem solving, and resilience. We've recognized all of these qualities developing in our boys, and they have an absolute blast on stage. My husband and I really appreciate Katia's whole-child approach to this work. She has long-term relationships with former cast mates who are now staff working with young thespians. We also attend the teen productions which have been stellar. If your child is curious about theatre, I suggest starting by attending a show and then participating in a week-long summer camp. I suspect they'll be hooked!

Two things bring me to the Marin Showcase Theatre. First, being the Italian Film Festival, which…read moreI've been coming to for years. If you're a fan of Italian movies, which I am, you'll enjoy a great variety of Italian films, ranging from dramas to laughter filled comedies. Secondly, I've come sporadically through the theatre throughout the years, during the Marin County fair, since the Marin Showcase is where they hold some of the fair activities. Parking is plentiful and easy, although depending on the performances, it can fill up quickly. The building is a bit dated, but functional. There's really not a bad seat inside the theatre, though the aisles in between the seats can be a little tight. A nice little venue in Marin County.

Great place to see live shows. Nice people and environment and the entertainment is top notch.read more

The non-teaching staff are also incredible--great communicators, always warm, friendly, and helpful. This program has been a life-changing, inspiring, and incredibly positive experience.

It's in the midst of this nesting that I've discovered the joys of what the Throckmorton Theatre is laying down. The free, monthly noontime concerts are great as is the always popular weekly comedy night but more recently I've been enjoying the other events offered. In so doing I've come to see the Throckmorton as an essential community asset; they save me a drive to the City while providing right-sized entertainment close to home. When I attend events here I leave feeling thankful for their offerings. In recent months I've enjoyed a Jonathan Richman concert (fab... bring him back!), a concert by a local band, and A Chorus Line, teen edition. That last one left me sorry that I'd missed the previous one-time Broadway shows showcased here and with resolve not to miss another. For a little above the cost of your ticket you can pay to enjoy reserved seats but if you fail to do that you'll find equally satisfying seating on the main floor (they also have balcony seating) if you arrive early enough to snag it. I find myself checking the Throckmorton's calendar with a frequency, these days, that I'd not have anticipated even one year earlier. They've not disappointed yet.

What a treat this show and venue was!
