The company seeks to present both original performances and contemporary works in hopes of informing audiences and provoking change. I recently took in a performance over the weekend for a play titled "the Irish Curse" and like performances I've attended in the past - I left the theater feeling incredibly rewarded. One of the best parts about this theater is the performance space. The stage is dead center in a small room, with 50 or so chairs allowing the front row to literally allow audience members to have their feet at the edge of the performance space. Highly recommend that you make it a priority to see their next production.

Put on by the Children's Magik Theatre in recent years it is a perfect event for fans as well as an introduction to his timeless works. Although this event is Free, at the Arneson Theatre entrance donations are encouraged which helps to fund their various programs. This season a theater troupe from Arkansas did an excellent rendition of "The Taming of the Shrew." The set design, costumes, sound system and the Riverwalk as a backdrop enhanced the night's performance. Seating is amphitheater style and it is on a first come, first serve basis. I suggest you get there early, by showtime all the good spaces are usually taken. The only thing missing for me, at least in terms of overall experience were the arts vendors and staff in character; which in the past tied everything together. Still I would recommend it to couples, students, families or anyone who wants to experience Shakespeare's plays in an outdoor venue. Shakespeare on the River is another great event that utilizes the historical Arneson Theatre. It is a family friendly event free and open to the public. Who knew that plays created in the 15th Century would still be relevant in San Antonio in 2017? ps. The Arkansas troupe played a cover of "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga before the show even started. It seems like a song appropriate for "The Taming of the Shrew."

It's a superfun event that in the past entailed Shakespeare performances in the setting of a small-scale Renaissance fair including professional theater acts that frequent the Texas Renaissance and Sherwood Forest Fairs. This year, however, it appears strictly centered around bringing a professional Shakespearean theater company, Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre, to San Antonio to perform their own version of Shakespeare classics. Last night's performance of "Taming of the Shrew" was one of the best performances I had ever seen and it did not disappoint! The actors were hilarious, the Commedia dell'arte was spot on and perfectly timed, and scattered bits of pop culture really brought this performance into this century. Staying true to the story, but with a few funny twists, this troop is really worth seeing. This event runs Thursday through Saturday this year and is completely worth going to see. A $5 suggested donation towards the Magik Children's Theater will help provide a space for future performers ages 0-17 to learn and grow their own acting craft as well as continuing to allow the Magik Theater to provide fun events and child-focused theater for years to come.

I wanted to do this pretty badly...but alas it was all locked up and looked pretty desolate. I wonder if it is ever open, or if someone would buy it, or if there are plans to do this at some point in the near future because it is a neat place. I see no other reviews for this place, so I am just curious. Interesting note- there was a stature of venus on what looked like a stack of pancakes inside. I love old places like this. I hope it gets preserved.
