Parking is abundant and easy ingress and egress was no problem. The Staff. Amazingly accommodating and Friendly. They helped us to our seats and were quite knowledgeable. Top marks. The Venue Part Deux. There are signs a-Plenty stating no food or drink in the venue. Until it is noted the drinks must remain closed a-la purchased drinks at the bar which come with a closeable top or bottles that may be again... brought with you and closeable. You can still bring your own in...but for a whopping $90 for 2 adult beverages, kid beverages, and waters at the beginning and pre order for intermission...you could have just brought in your closeable water bottle and saved the cost. This is like handing you the keys to an Aston but told not to drive it off the lot. Understandable for spillage, but not well explained. The production and sound were second to none. The only niggle I had were the inexperienced show goers behind us who continually dialogued what came next via the book, how it did not correspond to the movie, and continually picked at it. I cannot control other people...but do stay home or keep like a church mouse like the rest of us while the production was in course. I guess money can buy your way in but not common decency no matter your age bracket/demographic/wealth status. Again out of my control, so I will not hold it against the theatre. Overall. Yes. I will be back for another show. Amazing. Thank you all so much for what you do and giving back to your community the way you do. Donation made. And will continue to support. Rock solid 4 Stars.

I was surprised at the turn out this place has, I attended both plays within the "Quintero/Black BOx" theater, and the people that attend are from all walks of life. The actors and the setup is so great they really have talented actors from what I can tell. The 2 plays were "At Home At The Zoo" and "Buy 1 get 5 Free". The first one was more of comical drama about married life... the play itself was interesting and the audience is really attentive and respectful. The second one WAS HILARIOUS, I definitely would not mind seeing this even if it wasn't a requirement for my class. The layout and the ticket office is really professional. The plays are in a brand new building with great lighting. Had me saying "IS THIS REALLY IN UH?" then my thoughts turned to..."OHHH...THIS IS WHERE MY TUITION GOES" lol. All in All it was a great experience and the staff are very kind and helpful. And ooooh weee.... the women there for some reason are so pretty... they are everywhere! especially the Ushers... i felt like getting kicked out so one of them would come over and take me away! lol Definitely a great Date Spot... I see a lot of older couples and young couples in there.

It's a little confusing now due to construction. Soon a park area will open and there will be direct access to the front of the theater. Seating is roomy and comfortable. There really wouldn't be a bad seat in the house. The stage is recessed which gives it a different look. Definitely not the intimate feel of the Alley. There is also about 300 less seats here than at the Alley so get your tickets while they last!

It's a miracle that they're still able to provide high quality, free entertainment in this day and age. The booking process is a bit random - for extremely popular shows, there's a lottery, but otherwise you refresh during the ticket drop and get into a queue and can pick up to four tickets in the covered seating area (which also has huge ceiling fans. Huge plus.) or just hang out on the hill. Digital tickets are a huge upgrade where you don't have to wait at will call anymore. Seating is fantastic - plenty of walking space, seats have cupholders, and pretty much every seat has a clear view of the stage at a different angle for adults of all heights. There is difficulty in seeing ground level acts like the contortionist. (The interpretation of Da Vinci was phenomenal though, you can imagine). I always try to make it to at least one Cirque show every year and it's always a blast. Cheers to what they do here.

We saw Apollo 13 and, candidly, this is the first time I've ever seen this movie. Lol. It was a nice cool but not too cold atmosphere, the staff is kind, and our experience went off without a hitch, so this theater is definitely one I would visit again.
