I have seen two so far and both were excellent! An additional bonus is the seats have cupholders! I have been to venues all over the Dallas Fort Worth area, and none have cupholders! As an older woman traveling alone, I felt completely safe in the parking area of which there is a reasonable amount of parking and in the venue. If you like plays, then this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy one!

Cons: if you have someone who is in a wheelchair or needs handicapped accessible, it's a struggle. Both sides of the theater require stairs The production, sound, and cast were amazing. I normally go to Fair Park and Winspear and I will start coming over to Arlington when they have a play I like because my whole family enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express.

This is the place to go for some great local theater!!! I have come here off and on for years!…read moreThankfully they send me emails, bc I tend to forget about this place! The most recent play we came to was "Dead mans cell phone". It was an enjoyable and comical production. They offer student discounts 30 min before the play. If the production is not sold out, you can buy a student ticket for only $5!!! What a great deal! Regular priced tickets are around $25. This is still a reasonable price for an enjoyable afternoon/ evening of local theater! Sign up for emails to be updated on future plays!

As a child growing up in Dallas,I remember TV and radio ads routinely for Casa Manana Playhouse. After decades,I decided it was way passed time to check it out! Wow! Have I been missing out! We took in Hairspray yesterday and were blown away by the quality of the production. From the actors to the lighting,live music accompanyment, to the comfortable chairs and acoustics- fantastic. If you are in Ft Worth and like plays, you'll love Casa Manana... Go!

We had an excellent time last night. Our instructor was Randy and he definitely put on a show…read more We arrived about 10 minutes before our scheduled slot and after checking us in, he took us on a tour of the building and made us feel very welcome. My mom, godmother and I were the only attendees since the other group never showed up. Although I had been to other "sip and paint" functions, this experience was unique because Randy was actually the author of the painting we completed and it was a tribute to Prince. He was very patient and kind even when we were super critical of our painting. He even performed "Purple Rain" for us which was a special treat. I'd love to go back.

We were looking for something different to take Javiers daughter to do & she is very creative so I…read morethought of this. We had a blast. Our instructor was so patient & kind. She encouraged us all & reminded us that no 2 are going to look alike nor are they going to look like the example but they will still be a work of art. She was marvelous & I'm sorry I don't remember her name but her gorgeous face & her kind words are forever burned into my mind & heart. She never rushed us nor did I ever feel like we were on a time limit. We did go to the evening class, I don't know if that had anything to do with it but it was awesome. The whole class finished before the 2 hrs. We also loved that we could bring our own drinks & snacks. Javier had his Coronas which he loved! His daughter had her dr.peppers & I had my sweet tea. For anyone who still hasn't tried this get out from under your rock & do it! If you don't want to get out because of the virus, they make to go packages to do at home she let us know & they do private parties. This is so relaxing & as you can see from our pics no 2 are alike nor perfect but we had so much fun as a family. Even my boyfriend & his was the best! Now my brother wants to try it. Book your class! Go on a date! Have some fun!

Again, I have personally performed at this venue several times, so I show some bias. However, for a theatre with limited means (poor city funding, low donations in a down market), the compensate with casting excellent talent (both on stage and off) and producing solid shows. There are only about 80 seats, so a subscriptions is a good idea, so you get reserved seating in the center section. Some favorites from recent years include Adventures in Love City of Angels Forever Plaid Art Brighton Beach Memoirs Little Shop of Horrors Honk If you love theatre, spend some time at FMPAT. If you have you young children, enrolling them in their children's school will make them happy (and talented).
