But Plaza Theater is so refreshing, we've attended 5 events here and all have been great. Play, concerts, and things like Better Late which was a fund raiser for the treater. SHORT ANSWER: Yes, don't over think it, find an event and go for it. LOCATION: New location of a historic theater, so beautiful and well managed, everyone is welcomed as well as casual desert dress attire seems to be the code of dress. FACILITY: Reclaimed and feels historic, easy to park, have dinner before or after the show. LIBATIONS: beverages are available on site and at drinkable at your seat, cost is what costs are, this is for the betterment of the Theater so appreciate the high costs are going to the Theater not some out of control philanthropic organization that does not need any more money. STAFF: As far as I know, all volunteer and all very nice. Getting in is a phone thing showing your tickets, I figured it out so it is not too hard. I am sure you can kill a tree and print your ticket as well. OVERALL VALUE: Events are kind of expensive but worth it... TIP: Depending on time of year, dining before and event can be quiet and enjoyable. Dining after you may find a lot of partying over served people having too much fun, but that is okay just not my thing.

The staff at the Plaza Theatre couldn't have possibly been more accommodating! I was dancing at a…read moredinner party the night prior, when I heard a pop in my hip and felt excruciating pain. It was all I could do to exit the dance floor, and I could barely walk the next day. Imagine my dismay when I found out there was no elevator to get up to my balcony seats. The gentleman who collected our tickets offered us padded folding chairs at the back of orchestra level, which I was more than grateful for. About 10 minutes later one of the docents came to us and had aisle seats 10 rows back, as someone had to cancel. I was flabbergasted and extremely grateful. The way that they accommodated my spouse and I and made our one year anniversary celebration an enjoyable experience in spite of my pain, will never be forgotten.

This theatre is an absolute jewel. A family-run non-profit favorite!…read more They are approaching their 30th year of providing some of the best live theatre in the Valley. They have a polite and professional staff - but one of my favorite aspects is their welcoming volunteers and the mostly volunteer performers who donate so many hours to their art. Bravo! The venue's life began as one of Palm Springs' first school gymnasiums, so it's a bit dated, but in a good way. It's an intimate space with the first row starting immediately at the stage. It has a nostalgic and friendly feel. The steps to the seating are a bit steep, so if guests need a little more physical consideration - try to let the box office know, and they'll graciously try and accomodate them. They have a small but adequate concession area with fair prices. The adjacent parking lot fills up fast, but there's another lot a short block away. There are a host of small eateries nearby, so consider going early to get the best parking and enjoy a full evening of good food and great entertainment. Roger Medanich

If we were drinking, we may have been disappointed with the beer and wine selection TBH, but the snacks hit the spot. Not a bad seat in the house, filled with appreciative theater goers.

We attended a preview of One man, Two Guvnors, nicely priced at $60. The 208 seats were about 80% filled and the audience was delighted with the performance. Parking was no problem for the matinee and the volunteer greeters were ever so helpful. The stage is huge, as the facility was once home to an IMAX theater. The sound and lighting were great, and we were thrilled to have attended. Down the road, the next up is Guys and Dolls, followed by Ernest Shackleton Loves me. We will gladly see both.

When I heard they would be at Marvyn's, I made sure to secure tickets. The theater is nicely laid out and makes for an intimate experience. They have entertainment before the start of the show and an amazing bar. I believe this show was sold out. In the seating area they have hilarious sayings on the screen over the stage. Wish I could remember them. Photography is forbidden in the theater. Anyhow, they are true entertainment professionals and know how to work the room. There were several things they did that we had our mind boggled. But we're the types who don't want to find out and rather like keeping the mystery intact. Amazing really doesn't begin to describe their show. We were beyond impressed. They kind and gracious to do a meet & greet after the show. It was a most enjoyable and magical evening!

On a recent visit, tickets were $75 each plus a small fee. That's a decent value for a 75 minute show. The doors open an hour before the show. Since you have an assigned seat, you don't need to show up too early. If you do come early, there's a lounge with a bar (but no food) and some live entertainment with magic and music. There are specialty cocktails, a few wines, and draft beer. I don't remember the prices but it didn't seem that high. The theater fits about 130 people but you have a good view even in the back row. The seats themselves were comfortable. The magician invited multiple people up on stage, and not just those in the front row. There is a lot of improv blended throughout. I enjoyed the visit.

I enjoyed this performance more than the movie.
