If you know nothing about the Whitefire Theater know this - you will never see a crappy play here. KUDOS Whitefire Theatre. Parking can be a nightmare because it's along Ventura Blvd - but, was told you can valet your car with the restaurant 1/2 block east.

Upon arrival, guest have literally no idea what to do when they arrive at the restaurant. No one is there to greet anyone, we were just left to wander awkwardly around. While it says the show is 7 to 10 PM we were unable to get out of there until almost 11. This really ruined our after event plans, as we had no way to gracefully leave. The show was running late (there was a big lag between the salad and entrée with no activities or instructions on what to do during that awkward lull), and when finally it was "solved" (about 10:40pm), the performers and host positioned themselves in front of the only room exit, so they could introduce cast members. And after that-then even though it was 10:45PM, while they were still blocking the exit, they opted to single out everyone who had a birthday or anniversary, and sing happy birthday not once but twice in Long form. We really wanted to leave, and it was impossible. I've been to many murder, mystery evenings, and never been to one that there were not props involved. Usually there are evidence Props placed all around the room and included on the evidence table with diagrams, etc. So it was disappointing that no real thought went into creating "evidence". For over $650 for 6 of us (we bought cocktails at the bar), and our after plans completely ruined due to us not being able to get out until almost at 11 o'clock, I probably would have given this a two star rating but the food was very good and the actors at our table were fun to be around.

SEATING: A good sized theater! Maybe around 200 seats? I'm not too sure. Free range seating, but every seat in the house is a good one. Chairs are comfy but they do get uncomfortable if you don't stretch during intermission (if there is one). SERVICE: Ushers are super nice. Not much to ask them but I'm sure they'll be happy to answer any questions. FOOD: No food unfortunately. OVERALL: A great stage to see wonderful theater! Can't wait to come back again and again!

This is a nice tiny little theatre on the UCLA campus near the sculpture garden in McGowan Hall. It…read morewas a little tough to find. I would recommend parking in lot number 3 which seems to be the closest. That's in the northeastern part of UCLA, where Sunset and Hilgard meet. Once parked, when you walk out to the street (Charles E Young, I think) just turn right and walk towards the garden of sculptures. Once you see the sculpture garden, make a quick right, McGowan is on the right side of you. Parking is $8 all day. You can park for a couple hours, if that's all you need. That will set you back about $4. The parking station we paid at wasn't working for credit cards, so make sure you have cash on you, just in case. The sound inside the theatre was great. The seating was good too, not too cramped where your legs are (like some theaters). I would go back for another play.

I came here to see "I Love My Wife" with my girlfriend. The show was a little behind the times,…read moreand the audience seemed to be from the same generation. Since this theater is in the veteran center, so I guess the average age of its patrons makes sense. The student tickets for the show weren't that expensive ($20), but the parking was a ripoff. The theater itself was average sized, not meant for huge performance, but not so small that you feel like you're in someone's living room. The acoustics and lighting seemed OK, but I'm not a huge critic of that kind of stuff, so you probably shouldn't take my word for it.

There is ample (if a little expensive) $7 parking next to the theatre, but oddly there is no bar. (Well, I guess Royce Hall at UCLA doesn't have one either, but it's odd to me). However, there is a private bar which you get access to if you're a $100 member and a concession stand with snacks and coffee etc. The seating is well laid out and the ushers get you to your seat, even if you arrive late. Nice. The crowd was kinda mature, but I did see some other younger faces, but we all left as united Connolly fans by the end.

A hidden gem. Let's jump right into this review…read more The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles is a renowned, non-profit theater known for intimate productions of classic and contemporary plays, new works, and educational programs. Two main spaces, the 500-seat Gil Cates Theater and the smaller Audrey Skirball-Kenis Theater. My son and I attended a play - Table 17 and sat in the balcony box of the Gil Cates Theater. Box seats $139pp Pros 1. Very nice venue. An intimate space with every seat being a good seat. Great acoustics also. 2. Bathrooms are clean and grounds are well-kept. 3. Small bar area that sells food items and drink, including alcohol. 4. Patio area and seating in the lobby if you arrive early. Doors usually open 1 hour before showtime. Theater doors open 30 minutes before curtain time. Cons 1. Parking can be a challenge but not impossible. Metered street parking. Use the text to pay function because you can add additional time from your phone and receive reminders via text when your time is about to expire. There are also paid parking lots within walking distance. Prices will vary. I was impressed with Geffen Playhouse and will definitely be back. BTW - Table 17 was an amazing play - funny, thought provoking, and an attention grabber.

Great refreshment choices. Parking can be tricky, you can park in the garage next door for pay, or street parking for pay (depending on the hours of the day & day of the week), or you can park in neighborhood street parking (free) couple blocks away. The venue is close by market with food vendors or nearby restaurants and museum. Really enjoy every time I'm here seeing a play.

If you're serious about acting and want results, not just theory, The Acting Center is the place…read more I came in with zero acting experience. No background. No reps. No credits. Since training here, I just booked a lead role in a pilot. That's not hype. That's the result. What makes this place different is simple. It's a system. You are not guessing. You are not waiting for approval. You are not dependent on a teacher to tell you if you're "good." You learn a repeatable process that you can execute on demand. Every class: You work You apply You build skill, not just confidence There's structure behind everything: How to break down a script How to make strong, specific choices How to stay present without losing control How to deliver consistently in auditions and on set It's practical. It translates directly to booking work. The instructors at The Acting Center are working professionals who understand what casting actually responds to. They don't just teach acting, they teach how to function at a high level in real situations. What stood out to me most: You develop independence as an actor You stop overthinking and start executing You build a clear process you can trust under pressure Before this, acting felt abstract. Now it feels like a craft I can control. If you're new, this gives you a real foundation fast. If you've trained before, this fills the gaps most studios miss. Bottom line: If your goal is to actually book, grow, and perform at a high level, this is the most efficient path I've seen. I went from zero experience to booking a lead role. That speaks for itself.

The instructors are excellent, and the vibe of the place is flawless. I feel emotionally and physically safe here, and have become a better performer under their tutelage. It's a wonderful community in a nice space, which also offers practical career coaching. You will get to perform in some capacity every class, without draining critiques. All the drama stays on the stage where it belongs.

Not necessarily easy to find at first but I'm glad I was aware then there were signs too. The theater is pretty small with three rows in front then sitting on both sides. Perhaps a capacity of 100? Very intimate. Not sure how the view is from the sides however. I loved the play. A series of 6 plays is around $235 which is very reasonable. I'll definitely come back! The restrooms are ancient with doors that are wayyy too small, but I guess it's common for a school? Briefly met the artistic director who is clearly passionate about his job and doing his best to keep this theatre alive. I loved that.

"Becky's New Car" had the best cast and everyone was a seasoned actor with a long list of previous plays and TV shows they've been in. There were parts I couldn't stop laughing, and enjoyed the play so much. I've invited 6 friends to return in July for their next one, which sounds even funnier. If my SUV could fit more people I would have asked more friends to join us. Parking was so easy, subterranean, safe and you walk right into the building from their underground garage. David the Managing Director was so personable and inviting, he seemed to know a lot of the attendees by name as regulars. I could hardly wait to see their next play, "A Jukebox for the Algonquin" and I have no doubt it too will be terrific! Great evening & a fun time.
