After seeing three different performances at three different venues, AVLT has become one of my…read morefavorite live theatre experiences in Columbus. Each production has pushed a boundary, and while a few company members reappear in different productions, they generally bring fresh faces and voices to each new story. I'm really excited for what the AVLT company plans to bring with the new season, and I encourage people to try them out. One of AVLT's best features is their "Pay what you want" program - just show up, and if the show isn't sold out you can get in for as little or as much as you can afford. If you like the show well enough to throw a few more dollars at the fishbowl on the way out, so much the better! These guys are good, they're local, and they're unique. Go see a show!

We went to the new season fundraiser last night. They raised lots of money for "pay what you…read morewant". We got a preview of their next show Falsetto. The troupe also showed great versatility in their sketch work. As a plus we got to eat some great Katzinger snacks. Make your way to the new season, support local theatre, and have some Columbus fun. We are big fans.

Gorgeous theater! I came here with friends to see Hadestown and we had an amazing time. We got…read morethere early and parked in the structure right next to the theater. It was busy on the street prior to doors opening but we got through security quickly. I wish that they had streamlined the lobby area more because we had to wait for every group to be led to their seats. This caused a major backup in the small lobby and it was difficult to get around. Once we got to our seats we were able to clearly see the stage and enjoy the view. The seats were vintage and comfy enough. The gold accents everywhere were beautifully classic. Getting down to the bathrooms was a bit challenging with all of the stairs, and the women's restroom had openings on both sides so it was difficult to tell who was next in line. There was a small medical emergency during the show and the staff handled the entire situation swiftly, calmly, and safely. I was very impressed with this theater and can't wait to come back to see another show!

It worked well for the intimate show we were seeing, and I hope it is a sign of the space being available to more performers in the coming years. It's nice to have a flexible space for the smaller theater companies.

Still, it's large enough for good companies (such as Tantrum) to build large, creative sets. Located within the Dublin Recreation Center, parking is ample.

The facilities at the Abbey are top-notch, and the shows by Tantrum are worth every reasonably-priced penny. Check out tantrumtheater.org for information about shows at the Abbey Theater.
