3.5/5, +.5 for service…read more My family visited me recently and we watched Buddy Holly's Happy Days. The show itself was great, and the performers were all very talented. They will invite the audience to be part of the performance if you like, and honestly it's fun if you're into dinner theatre. As for the food...it was meh. The vegetable soup and salad were quite good, but the boss beef was overcooked (despite it saying it'd be cooked medium). The tater tots were replaced with roasted potatoes, which honestly I would've preferred anyway. I had the apple pie for dessert, which randomly came with a slice of cheddar. The slice definitely felt out of place, but the pie was average at best. Service was great, and the servers will entertain you with a pseudonym name initially before unveiling their real name. If you're into theatre performances I'd definitely recommend, but don't expect top tier food here.

Our choice from the menu was the strip loin roast beef -- that says it is served medium -- both myself and my date requested it to be "well done" -- and it was -- perfect too!! The performance was top notch! -- Service most excellent!! At the end of the show the server stopped by and chatted for a bit -- Very kind!! For sure I will be back -- already checking and planning my next venture to there!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!!

We got to use the dressing rooms, they set up all the chairs for us, and they let us have the run of the place for pictures (accept the stage). We had an issue with our party venue and almost couldn't get into it because the weekend manager died and the Pantages staff was ready to rally together and throw us a reception. They were so wonderful I can't even begin to touch on it. If you are looking for a fantastic alternative venue for any sort of event I recommend this place!! They also have plays and concerts and stuff like that

I am forever grateful for Winnipeg having MTC. They truly put together year after year a variety of…read moreamazing, talented, entertaining & inspiring preformances. They add some sunshine for the cold & dark Winnipeg fall-spring season. The Mtc is very decent size theater which is located downtown. One issue is parking which can be quite costly. I joined the annual subscriber program with a friend about 5 years ago. During the last two years another friend of mine has also joined in with us. I have the cheapest seats in the subscriber program. It is affordable & even though it is the cheapest seats you can comfortably and perfectly view the preformance. The subscriber program is a great way to see all preformances at a bit of a cheaper cost; instead of buying indivdual tickets. The subscriber program allows you to change dates if you are unable to attend without a fee. Also you get a discount on purchasing extra tickets if you want to bring a friend/family member. I find I use this option alot. I like to buy tickets as birthday or christmas gifts for friends or family. It makes for a great night out! The season runs from Oct to May with about 6 preformances. The preformances vary each season. The themes for preformances also vary from serious, classic, fantasy, new formed plays, musicals, holiday themed, dramas & comedies. The sets, costumes and visual effects during the preformances are always exceptional. You can truly see the effort, detail, passion & dedication. The actors and actresses are very talented and bring each preformance to light. The ushers and staff at MTC are always friendly and helpful. There is a small canteen to purchase alcohol and some snacks. MTC awakened my soul & brought love for live theater. It has brought many memories with my family and friends. I recommend to check out the shows online and head out to see one!

The six plays throughout the year are often varied and wonderfully done. For us there is about one play a year that is difficult to stay for the second act; however the other five more than make up for it. Each year there is at least one play that goes on our all-time favourite list and you can see the staff work hard on variety and quality. The sets are wonderfully done and the behind the scenes tour is outstanding. A true gem in our city!

The RWB is a treasure!…read more I have since lived in other cities where the Ballet companies are proficient, yet clearly lacking the amazing quality and prestige of the RWB (at triple the cost of what a ticket costs in Winnipeg). Truly, I recommend anyone with an interest in dance to take advantage of the RWB if you are in Winnipeg. (Hint: It is a great date to take a lady on, fella's. A lot of little girl's dream of being dancer's at one time or another ;) When I was young my Mom bought us yearly season tickets and it benefitted me in so many ways! Choreographer Mark Godden and Conductor Bramwell Tovey came to be highly regarded Canadian artists and it was a pleasure to see their career's progress. This is a great avenue for parent's to expose children to wonderful costume's, music, stories and artists.

Tips: - This theatre is on the third floor of Portage…read morePlace. You can use the elevator or escalators to get up there. - It offers classes, including improv. It also has performances at affordable prices. I was reminiscing about Portage Place. This mall in downtown Winnipeg isn't doing well for a number of reasons, including losing Eaton's and The Bay, which were fixtures. However, I was thrilled to hear that Prairie Theatre Exchange (PTE) is still alive and kicking on the third floor of this mall. When I first moved to Winnipeg, I took in a couple of performance at this theatre. Performer were talented, local folks. Tickets were affordable. It was a nice introduction to the arts in the city. I remember my friend being in an improvisation class at PTE. A woman, who graduated Glendon College, York University when I did, had also moved to Winnipeg and was in his class. What were the odds?! This class had a performance night. I worked at Air Canada Building across the street. I was working either the afternoon or evening shift. I asked if I could take my lunch roughly when his performance was about to start. My team in network operations were super accommodating. I didn't think that it would last long, but could be contacted by cell phone in case there were network issues. Staff were friendly. I sat in the audience and saw my friend do improv with his class. He was great and I had a fun time. I was here for maybe an hour. I was proud of my friend and his class. It took guts to do improv in front of an audience. The theatre doesn't do performances in the summer, which is why I never got to take in a show when I was on vacation in Winnipeg last July. My brief visit to the city in late December wasn't enough to do much, either. I hope that I can take in a show again soon when I revisit the city for a longer period. This theatre has student pricing, which is great. Regular admission doesn't break the bank. You can get a decent seat within the first five rows in front of the stage for under $50 these days. Portage Place has underground parking. It's heated in the wintertime because, well, it's Winnipeg. I don't think that I have ever parked at this mall. I either took the bus downtown or parked in an outdoor parking lot for work behind the Air Canada Building. I'm happy that PTE is still there. I look forward to returning to take in a show one of these days. (129)
