The staff assisting with check-in and seating were quite friendly and knowledgeable. The theater seating was comfortable and slightly offset to help with line of sight to the stage. The acoustics were good. There's a parking lot on site, as well as a free public parking structure right across the street. We would definitely return for another performance.

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

Every person on stage demonstrated multiple talents in a tight production. Such a delight. 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 visit the area regularly and look forward to attending future shows!

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.
