You can Bring Your Own Booze (BYOB) which also saves you money. We brought bottles of beer, and the box office had a bottle opener we could use to pop them open. There was no corkage fee, but they aren't going to be providing glasses or ice, nor will they pour your beverage for you. If you need a snack during the show, they offer some concessions at the box office window. It looked like candy, chips, and canned soda were available for sale. Before the late show, someone setup a table to sell multi-colored popcorn. It's not dinner, but it will tide you over until you can eat a proper meal elsewhere. The venue is located in a business park with plenty of free parking outside. There was a police officer parked in the lot and making the rounds. Not sure if that is par, but the business park seemed like a clean and relatively safe area. It's not the Ritz, but it isn't dive bar quality either. The walls are painted black and decorated with colorful panels. Metal stacking chairs with built in cushions are lined up nicely with at least one small table squeezed in each row. You could move the chairs if you felt you needed a little more elbow room. There are no arm rests. The low table allows you to set your drinks and snacks down so you can clap for the entertainment, but you'll need to get there early to score a spot next to one. The front row has two, 3-seater, plush couches. We got there early enough to get one of those seats, but opted to avoid the potential punishment of sitting in the front row of a comedy show. The comics during the early show were from Austin, San Antonio and Dallas. It was mostly local talent. Both men and women performed short sets of maybe 10-15 minutes. There were about 5 different comics that performed during the early show. Each comic had a monologue with some gems and some duds. This is raw talent, not polished TV fodder, but entertaining just the same. The late show was a special show. I wish we could have stayed for it, as the publicity for it was originally how we found out about this place. The venue is also offering improv classes. You'll have to check their website for prices and a schedule. Improv classes are for everyone, and everybody who takes them can benefit from learning to think out of the box, to integrating spontaneous creativity in their life, and to fostering better communication with others. This place is a good bargain for those looking for a night out without breaking the bank. Since my hubby is cheap, I'm sure we will be back.

The Morton Meyerson Symphony Center is no stranger to the Dallas music scene. I, however have been…read morea complete stranger to the Morton Meyerson Symphony Center until Danny Elfman came and performed his music from his scores for Tim Burton films. What a great venue. The house acoustics are wonderful and the seats were comfortable enough to endure an almost three hour show! Honestly, the bathroom situation could be improved, because the lines were so long (even for the men's) that I really had just enough time at intermission to go there and back. It's a first world music venue with second world bathrooms. Also, I am not a tall guy, but airplanes have more legroom than the Morton Meyerson. I will give them an A+ on programming though, great show, especially to bridge a cross-generational audience! OK, I know Danny is 74 years old, but the bulk of his fans are much younger!

They spend a good bit of funds on sets, costumes, and props -- they actually have some of the best props in the city. Since ICT operates as the full community theatre, which means they do not pay their actors. That frees up some money for more visual infrastructure. Their season subscription is a good savings and will give you a good chance to get a flavor of the sort of talent that gets drawn to the company. If you like, keep attending. You'll enjoy. They often produce their shows at the Dupree theatre at the Irving Arts Center, which they use well.

Quirky and awesome! We came to see the performance of "Trainspotting" and couldn't have been more…read morepleased. When we first arrived in the parking lot, we were a little apprehensive because it is in the same strip mall with a Dollar General and the entire shopping center looks a bit run down. However, the performance more than made up for the location. We were greeted at the door by actors already in character and the entire venue was set up to feel like a bar/night club. They even had a small selection of water, soda, and beer and a bartender and a waitress. I loved the way the actors used the entire space, sometimes even behind us. I also liked the use of mixed media. I'm not sure if every performance is like this, but I am definitely interested to go to another show and see what they come up with.

ACT has an Academy for skills development across voice, dance and acting. I have heard nothing but great things from people that have participated in those classes. ACT sticks to its core mission of inclusiveness and letting every kid rise to their own potential regardless of background, abilities, etc. The kids grow like crazy there in the most important ways - becoming better humans.
