My husband and I were visiting Shawnee on Delaware, and I was looking for an activity for us to…read moreenjoy that didn't involve hiking! I looked at the Shawnee Playhouse's website, and found that two shows were being offered during the dates that we'd be in Shawnee -- a children's show (no kids with us) and a headline show (The Full Monty). We decided to get tickets for the latter though we were a bit concerned about the "adult content" warnings. We purchased our tickets and selected our balcony seats on-line (for a headline show, $29/each - regular, or $26 for a senior, plus a few dollars for ticketing fees). On the day of the show, we arrived about 30 minutes before the show. The (free) parking lot was already filling up but we found a good spot. We were warmly greeted at the door, and a valet offered to take us to our seats. Some concessions were available, at reasonable prices -- water, candy, etc. We had a wonderful experience at the playhouse. Obviously, this wasn't a professional Broadway performance but we would much prefer a community play as we saw at Shawnee! As a small theater, all audience members have "good seats" and, as noted by my husband, you can actually see the expressions on the actors' faces. It truly felt like a community get-together, with old friends greeting each other at the entrance, and comparing notes about the play on the way out. The quality of the acting/singing was very good, and the show was entertaining. I look forward to returning to the Shawnee Playhouse on our next trip to the Poconos.

Great seats anywhere. Very entertaining. No lines. The actors were good. I'd go back againread more

They went from having creative, funny plays with classic Christmas songs to more a woke Xmas.. with songs like Toto's Africa framed as "Christmas at the Serengeti" and more the like. My family, along with about a 1/3rd of the audience left early. Good desserts though. lol If they ever get back to doing real Christmas plays, we'll be back but until then, be careful.. it's a lot of money to spend for a Christmas show that throws tradition out of the window for woke politics. BTW, I'm a democrat so this isn't political as it is disappointing. People like tradition at Christmas... not the crap they put on last year

But then they started letting people in again? It was really confusing. I don't think their parking situation is very good. Wonderful production with some of the best voices I've heard on at a smaller venue. Sound quality is good. The Live band up on stage is really cool. Makes it great with the acoustics of the room. There were some points where I felt like maybe the mics weren't quite attached to the person's head correctly and it got a little too far away from their mouth. I think that's bound to happen when the actors are seen in dancing. Seats were pretty comfortable. It was super easy and quick to get in even though it was jampacked. Nice little courtyard where you can wait until they open up. The men's room is not my jam. I hate that pee trough instead of a urinal. Pretty cool that you can walk straight into the restaurant after the play. Perfectly centered in all the little shops. Next time, definitely wanna catch another show and make a day of it in this area.

Definetely suggest if one has any hearing disabilities, get some seats towards the front, it really helps! Also enjoyed the dessert at intermission, but why only vanila? I prefer chocolate. I also didn't like the apple pie, as i put in the last review- how about different flavor pies? enjoyed the ice cream though at least. Also their restrooms seemed pretty clean, so that's good.

They are season ticket holders so they get a deal on tickets. I would highly suggest seeing if you qualify for any discounted tickets since they seem to have a number of programs set up (I once got $30 tickets before being younger than 30 years old). They have a close parking lot that you can pay for but we walked from a public lot not too far away. It's a zoo with people existing by foot/ cars trying to leave the lots so just know it may take a bit of time for that short walk if you use one of their lots. They have a little concession counter that you can buy snacks at as well as bathrooms available though we didn't use either. The play itself was spectacular. The entire cast is talented- acting, singing, and dancing were top notch. The sets were well thought out and the music was unbelievable. I love that we have an incredible play house right in our backyard here in NJ! We will definitely be returning!

I just attended the mattered of West Side Story. Excellent! What an amazing production…read more The theatre is located in Milburn, NJ. There are several parking lots and a nearby train station plus a public bus which make this playhouse accessible via a variety of transportation. (The nearest lots fill up fast, so plan your arrival time.) The parking fee is $12 if you use any of the theatre's lots. There was (as is expected) a long entry line. More staff is needed to move the line along more quickly. The elderly and those with mobility challenges were allowed to bypass the long line and gain immediate entry. The lobby sells snacks and drinks that can be purchased before the show or during intermission. There are ushers to help you find your seats and a very friendly young man helped me at the souvenir counter. The lighting and acoustics appeared modern in my limited opinion. The feel of the auditorium was that of the traditional theatre setting with the rich burgundy drapery and snug plush seats. There is an odd pitch to the floor which makes walking to orchestra seating a little awkward because of the slant. So keep this in mind if you are a little shaky on your feet. I have a delightful experience here and I hope to return for future productions.
