My son and I enjoyed a matinee at the Bass this past weekend. I thought theatre was a thing of the…read morepast when moving to TX so I'm extremely appreciative for the offering at Bass Performance Hall. We hadn't seen Shucked before and I knew it'd be the funny light hearted silly type of humor we'd enjoy together since we love laughing. We had a great time. My son wasn't originally planning on attending but his flight was delayed by 9 hours, and the box office provided exceptional service when I needed another ticket upon arrival. While the production runs are pretty short it's so special to have the opportunity to catch the touring shows. We valeted the car and pre ordered ice-cream for intermission. If you live nearby this is a no brainer and even from a good drive over I'm still considering several other shows. The performance hall is very lovely, plush seats, lots of nice options for snacks and drinks. Bring a sweater because it can get a little chilly but perfect escape for whatever weather TX is throwing at you. Every individual from valet, to box office, ushers and more provided such great service. We throughly enjoyed ourselves. Looking forward to returning and making more of a day of it while in the Fort Worth area.

The subtitles above the stage made it much easier to follow along with what was being sung, which really enhanced the experience. The atmosphere was perfect for an afternoon performance, and it was nice that drinks were available. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout. We sat in the upper section, and it did get a little warm--but considering it was a full house, it was understandable. Overall, it was a beautiful performance and a great experience.

What a great little space. Small stage for intimate shows, good lineup of shows like Rent (what we…read moresaw), and Jagged Little Pill based on Alanis Morissette's music. The staff are really nice and the space is so cute. I didn't order one, but my friend ordered a very small $15 Old Fashioned with a peach nectar ice cube. She said it was delicious, but it was so small, that's a steep price for a drink that small. But I guess it's all in the name of helping out the non-profit. Other than that, it was a great time. Looking forward to Jagged Little Pill in a couple months, will be fun!

Prior to doors opening, you can have a alcoholic beverage or burger at the Backyard, which is a small bar under string-up lights. They have live music playing. The artist we saw playing, Don Burke, was very talented. My husband and I watched Pan Arcadia last night, it was a whimsical interpretation of the Peter Pan and Wendy story told by human actors as puppets (but also as themselves). I've got to admit I was very confused as to what was happening for many of the scenes but was able to get the general gist at the end. Let's just say- if you don't already know the Peter Pan story, I imagine you would be hopelessly lost. The live music was wonderful, fitting, soothing, and carried great for being in an outdoor theater. The acting was very sincere. Since you are exposed to the elements you might notice huge insects and spiders but they at least offer complimentary bug spray around the premises. This is a novel way to do date night and definitely worth a try.

Well acted, you could clearly picture everything happening even with its minimal sets. A really lovely evening. This location was a little confusing to me at first, so let me make it easier for anyone else going. You are looking for the Fort Worth Community Arts Center building, inside is an art gallery (which you can peruse for free beforehand) and two theater spaces, the Sanders Theater and The Scott Theater. Parking was right across the street in the Will Rogers Coliseum parking lot. Hardly any walking required, it really is right across the street. It did say special event parking $10, but when we went the gates were up and it was free parking. The Sanders Theater is very small, about maybe 6 or seven rows of seats going up, so very close and personal performances here. There is just something wonderful about smaller live productions that people really put their time and heart into. No dress code here, come as you are and enjoy. Would be a wonderful night out with the girlfriends, drinks after to discuss. "Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you." ― Thornton Wilder, Our Town

The "Our Town" production was very well done, and I love the minimal sets approach; it certainly lent credence to the production of Thornton Wilder's script. Much like Lars Von Trier's Dogville it was a story larger than life, one that eschewed sets and props because of the blatant humanity that was on stage. Indeed, the very superfluous world melted away as the characters spoke; to add sets would have been meaningless. The fact that we arrived just as it was storming was a bit of serendipity, yes one might say, because instead of feeling afraid at the tentativeness of a passing storm and tornado, I was instead feeling afraid at the frailty of Life itself, coming from the demoralizing but beautiful play. I heard absolutely nothing going on outside, which speaks well to the soundproof walls of the theater. The staff was splendid and provided a nice compliment to the performers, which were nothing less than masterful. You, yes you reading this, ought to go see more small productions as wonderful as this. It is so much more interesting and valuable than a night out at the movies. The Earth itself, in the words of Wilder, give this a hearty recommendation.

About 5 years ago a local nonprofit had one of their fundraisers here and I remember thinking it was a really great venue. We got to wander around the 5 different galleries and watch the harpist they had in what I now know is one of their two theaters. After cocktails we were ushered into a large space that they had cleared out- but left all the paintings on the walls- for dinner. The room had floor to ceiling windows overlooking the rest of the arts district around the building. It would definately be a great wedding reception venue. The play was fantastic- On the Mississippi Delta- and we were able to walk around a few of the exhibits during the intermission. Check their website for upcoming plays!!!
