It's a short walk from several restaurants and bars so you can park in one of the large parking lots. I loved the sitting area in the lobby. Intimate seating behind large picture windows. There is a concession stand with wine available. As a matter of fact, you can pre-order a drink to pick up at intermission. So cool. I'm looking forward to returning in January for the next play.

"From My Hometown" is, without question, the hottest ticket in Central Florida…read more If you haven't secured a seat yet, do whatever you can to get one. This production delivers a level of entertainment that surpasses anything I've seen at Dr. Phillips. The show transports you to a time when confidence felt earned, ambition was fueled by self‑belief, and the dream of success pulsed through every city street. Three cousins reunite unexpectedly in 1970s New York City, each chasing their shot at rhythm‑and‑blues stardom. Having been in NYC during that era myself, the musical stirred memories of a time when music wasn't designed to shock--it was meant to lift the spirit, soothe the soul, and move you from the inside out. This show captures that perfectly. From the moment the curtain rises, the audience is swept into a world that never disappoints. By the end of the evening, you realize you've been entertained more deeply than any amusement park or theater in the region could ever promise. If the spirit of James Brown, Otis Redding, or Jackie Wilson can be felt anywhere today, it's on this stage. Absolutely loved it.

Since I can't afford a Renaissance or Eras ticket short of parting with a major organ, blowing 20 bucks to see college theatre will just have to do. Myself and about 50 or so senior citizens sat back to appreciate the chutzpah it takes to get up on a stage and PERFORM. This is a very charming theatre with decent-sized bathrooms. You can purchase concessions at the intermission for $2 each (did someone say Airheads?!?). There is also a shuttle operated by Rollins students that runs from the Truist Parking lot to the theatre and back for those that need it. I highly recommend checking out this lovely theatre and thanks to everyone on-site today who made the experience so much fun.

I only got to explore this space as part of Orlando Fringe, but it definitely served its purpose…read more Plenty of room, generic but not uncomfortable seating, and a bar. What more do you need?!

I didn't even know this theater existed so I would definitely come back to watch other shows here. They have an area where you walk in and they have a bar and waiting stage. Then when the show is ready to load you go into another room with the main stage. There was free parking at the parking lot next to it. Just make sure you remember where you parked your car. I love supporting local artists so I would definitely check this place out again. I even got picked to be one of the models for the PJ party! So fun!! The cast also performs at SAK Improv so you can see them regularly over there.

There are some amazing things about this theatre space…read more I love the way the doors can slide open so on nice Orlando nights it's like an open air entrance. I love how beautiful the stairwell is going up to two. I love how much they have expanded their food and beverage line up over the years. The sound tends to be pretty good, the communication from the theatre is always amazing. They waive fees if you come to the box office to buy your tickets. The seats are comfy and almost every seat has a solid view. The box seats are the exception so be warned. The volunteers are always amazing and they are so nice. It would be cool if they opened a second location that served coffee because that line for espresso beverages is always really long. I love the breadth of show types. There's always something for everyone.

Wednesday, March 18, 2026…read more Front Row, Center Tickets to Ms. Diana Ross' Concert Performance I've been to numerous events at the Dr. Phillips Center but nothing beats having the opportunity to see a legend perform within arms-length to where you're seated. And when that "Icon of Icons" is none other than Ms. Diana Ross...well, nothing else need be said. It was a dream come true to say the least. In my most previous update of the Dr. Phillips Center I indicated meeting with and having my photograph taken with the incredible soprano Sarah Brightman was an entertainment highlight of 2025. 2026 has just begun but I will have to use the superlative "spectacular" once again. As in a spectacular show from start to finish. Diana Ross may be 81 years old!...but she still has the voice and ahem...the moves of a much younger performer. Just think of this, she was performing with the Supremes in the 1960's. I wasn't even born and by the time I was she had 12 number one singles with the OG of girl groups! And she is still working it to this day. Ms. Ross sung a multitude of her hits which kept the crowd, and my sister and I, dancing and singing throughout the evening. However, when she started to belt out Gloria Gaynor's anthem "I Will Survive" that really got the audience out of their seats. An Icon singing and Iconic piece of music is an experience second to none. Ms. Ross, you and your mark on music history is unmatched...blessings to you and your family!

The show we saw Fat Ham was excellent and honestly one of the best written and acted shows I've seen in a long time. Definitely grab a show here!

It's…read morealways a holiday favorite, but this year we especially loved it because they changed things up a bit--it kept us excited to see what was coming next and made the story feel fresh. The actors and actresses are very talented, and the performance overall was great. Tickets are reasonably priced, which makes it a more affordable option if you love theater but don't want to spend the higher prices at the Dr. Phillips Center. The venue itself is easy to enjoy: there's a private parking lot, a lobby with drinks and snacks, and even a little gift shop to browse before or after the show. All in all, Orlando Shakes delivered a wonderful holiday experience, and we'll definitely keep coming back for A Christmas Carol each year.

This was my first year attending the Orlando Fringe Festival, and it was pretty cool. I didn't know…read morewhat to expect fully, but I knew it would be immersive and eclectic. I went three separate days over a span of a week and each time was its own unique experience. There was a range of live entertainment, performing arts, art of all kinds, super dope poster art, magic performers, various food trucks, and other local shops and businesses that you could support. While the festival is free to the public, there are some events that have a small entry fee. All money is poured back into the arts/community to keep this wonderful festival alive and going for many years to come. The highlight indeed for me was all the art, of which you could also purchase. I loved that this festival allowed for artists and art lovers to congregate and enjoy the many forms of art in one space. Some final notes, they did offer drink options if that was something you were also looking for. There was a decent amount of parking - street, garage, and in the museum lot (if you arrived early). Everyone is super kind - down to the museum staff, food and business vendors, you name it. It's truly a great festival. Fun for all. So happy I finally got the chance to attend this festival. I will for sure be attending for many years to come.

You get to tap into your human side, practice mindfulness, absorb, then reflect on life on a deeper level. Sometimes they challenge my values, but it's a good exercise to think, & listen, consider others' experiences & viewpoints. You MUST purchase a button to watch a show in a theater. Then you buy your ticket to what you want to see. Sometimes a show might get cancelled, so this year I went with the flow & saw what was available at the time I was there. I kept recommended ages in mind. Then I ran from theater to theater. They utilize different buildings. There's an outdoor stage with free entertainment such as a break dancing contest or fashion show. It's next to the food booths. I've seen really wonderful shows over the years. Poe & Van Gogh are some of my favorite subjects. There's magic, comedy, & naughty bits. In the afternoon there are arts & crafts & kids' activities in certain areas. Something for everyone. Creatures of the night might enjoy shows that start around midnight. The only thing I would want changed is how the shows overlap each other. If I want to see one show, then I can't see 3 others because they have different running lengths & very odd start times. It's an extremely difficult puzzle challenge to line them up, almost impossible. That's why a few days attending Orlando Fringe is better than just one day, but parking can be challenging. I missed out on a lot of great shows probably. They can get expensive, so get a guide early, looks like a free magazine, & see when the $6 shows are, not all shows will offer that special price showing, but great if you snag one. The high school students' shows are around $10. Regular shows maybe $15. Some are FREE! Just don't lose your purchased Fringe button.
