Everyone at the party was thrilled to have a surprise opera performance, and Rose was everything I hoped for: responsive to my emails, punctual, sweet, funny and SO talented! Highly recommend!!

The shock of seeing her in full costume, at your door, or at the office, or where ever you request her to be, is well worth the "price of admission"!! Rose is one of the most talented people I've ever met! She has a tremendous sense of humor (check out her comedy group Salsation!), but it is her soprano voice that is what you will long remember! Boy can this lady SING!!!! Seriously, if you are looking to send a gift that will be remembered years from now, that is unique, that will have others saying "I wish I'd have sent on OperaGram.com!!" THIS IS IT!

For example, they showed all the Academy Award nominated short films as well as 4/5 of the films nominated for Best International Feature. They also have really friendly staff and reasonably priced tickets and concessions. I go here OFTEN and will continue to support them.

I simply love this theater. The staff are always so kind & make the experience feel special. The…read moreprices make it even better. In a time where going out literally anywhere feels like a luxury buy, this place makes every penny worth it. The sound quality is great, the reclining seats that heat and cool are perfect, the concessions being affordable instead of a million dollars, this theater has single handedly made me a Classic Cinemas loyalist. I never used to go to the theaters before because the prices had just gotten so out of hand and the service usually sucked but this place has me coming back almost every week. I also LOVE that they do throwback movies & early releases of movies as well. This place is very nostalgic and makes it well worth it to get back in the movie theaters.

We saw Twelfth Night (July-Aug 2025) last night. I have been attending OPFT since we moved here…read more15+ years ago and this was one of the best Shakespeare productions they've had. I saw that the Tribune criticized OPFT's take for being too heavy on the comedy and light on the romance. I disagree; I thought that the emphasis on the comedy was a huge plus. Malvolio stole the show with Toby and Sir Andrew as great comedic support. Olivia's flip-flopping was also well executed for some good fun. The Fool had to compete hard for laughs.... I was delighted to find that this production had even our kids (11-13) laughing like crazy. This is excellent accessible Shakespeare in the park that is great for the whole family. Tickets for kids under 12 are just $5.

Why isn't there more outdoor theatre in the Chicago area? I mean, to some extent I get it (here in…read more2022, my car was dappled in slush and snow on April 8), but really this should be a bigger thing. As I think of it the only real options for this are Theatre on the Lake, occasionally when there's a Shakes in the park sort of thing happening, and Oak Park Festival Theatre in Oak Park. The work done by this company is really high quality, so you'll definitely get your money's worth and enjoy the performance if you enjoy the play. I came here in 2016 to see Pygmalion after a few years of saying I should go and then not doing so. OPFT has an illustrious history: The theatre was established in 1975 and has included such notable thespians (of course unknown at the time) as David Mamet as William H. Macy. Unfortunately, in November 2021 there was a fire that destroyed much of their equipment, historical documents, and I'm hopeful their fundraising efforts will prepare them to mount a new season this or next summer! Austin Gardens is in downtown Oak Park Parking is found on surrounding streets, or in the village parking lot (free after 6 pm). Accessibility is a bit harder to measure. It's a park, so it is as accessible as any park, but depending upon the type of accommodation you need, your mobility, etc. it may vary how accessible it is for an individual. They don't have wheelchairs or anything for patron use as far as I know, and as a park it may be difficult to hear at times. Alternatively, both the Green Line and the UP-W Metra line are within 3-5 blocks of the park, so that's a great choice for transportation, too. There are restaurants nearby, or for an even more fun option, bring your dinner to picnic before and during the play. Just don't disrupt your fellow patrons (so that means if you have things in wrapping and what not, maybe wrap in cloth or something that's not going to make a bunch of noise as you open it!).

date of review: 2026-6-25…read more The Cinemark theater in Melrose Park is mid. Wish they served full dinner here like the AMC /Muvico theater in Rosemont does (they just have your average - very pricey! - movie snacks here). A little for more money, of course. Also sucks this Cinemark location now only has one open ticket booth when you walk in (there's two more booths - one on each end of lobby - but have since been blocked off). The reclining chairs are nice at least.

The theater was very clean and had plenty of staff that were very helpful as far as checking in our tickets and serving a snacks. The theater is itself was very clean and very spacious. But can we talk about the seats? These were the most comfortable seats that I have ever sat in while watching a movie. It was so cozy. They have seat warmers and I stayed warm the entire time. I actually fell asleep while watching a movie. All in all, I cannot wait to go back to watch another movie at this wonderful movie theater

When you walk in there is a bar and some tables but through the double doors, you'll find a 2nd bar with a speakeasy feel. When we checked in, we were assigned our tables. We ordered drinks before hand and the drinks were brought to our tables. We also ordered the pimento cheese and crackers. We snacked on the crackers most of the show as there was quite a bit of pimento in the bowl. The show was great and was broken into 2 parts. There were a lot of great metaphors along with it being a very interactive show with the crowd. Many of the tricks and magic left us in complete awe. We can't wait to come back and see future shows!
