I have seen several shows there and have enjoyed the variety of titles and styles of plays performed, the wonderful talent of the student actors, creative talents of the set designers and costumers, and skill of the lighting and sound technicians. The Robinson Theatre offers a traditional theatre with great seats and great visibility and sound. The smaller Hope Theatre is a flexible-space venue whose setup changes with each show, and can be configured in a variety of ways which creates a unique theatre experience for patrons. The spacious lobby offers leather couches and ottomans, displays to peruse at intermission, affordable concessions, and several accessible restrooms. This season, UO students can get free tickets to any UT show! Why wasn't this around when I was in school? Tickets can be bought at the door, or (recommended) ahead of time online or at the EMU box office 541-346-4363.

I had never been to Eugene and was overwhelmed. When I was 9 years old a teacher read the Raven to…read moremy class and I was addicted to poetry like a fiend. As a teenager I ended up living with a person going to ballet school. I became a huge fan of dance and ballet. When I stumbled on this I just had to try to see it. Another friend felt the same but we both have mobility issues so going to new places is daunting since a lot of venues are supposed to offer ADA in all price points but usually it is marked higher or what the have listed is not actually ADA. It's A LOT to deal with every time you want to go anywhere to anything.. I reached out to the venue and they referred me to the ballet company. I thought, ugh... they can't help but ok... But they did and fast. Talk about making us feel welcome and seen. And WHAT A PERFORMANCE! Ballet Fantastique set ballet pieces to Steampunk styled music performed with cello, piano, and an accordion. A spoken word actor recited parts from five different Edgar Allen Poe pieces (some would argue his best): Masque of the Red Death (1842), The Raven (1845), Fall of the House of Usher (1839),Annabel Lee (1849) and Cask of Amontillado (1846). There were touches of cirque with an aerialist and stilt walker. The sets, lighting, and aesthetic were incredible. This ballet was a treasure trove. They had some gorgeous masks for sale at amazing prices and I could not resist getting a gorgeous production poster signed by the whole cast for $5. After attending this I definitely plan to make it a point to attend another performance of theirs.

This is a very fantastic ballet Academy. My daughter had been wanting to be a ballerina for years…read moreso I got her into a trial with this Academy and she fell in love immediately.

The facility's ambience has a modern feel to it, and it is completely wheelchair accessible with easy access to seating and exits.

I look forward to seeing more performances here.

They've started a revolution of a dance company inspiring Eugene's finest to have a taste of the performing arts. Without a doubt they are the class of the city, with a variety of dances that spanning a multitude of genres ranging from hip hop to swing to jazz. No local area dance troupe compares to Zapp, as they have a unique distinction of being in a class to themselves. Aside from performing locally in Eugene, they're also world famous touring cities across the United States and Europe. I've had the pleasure of attending a few of their shows in Eugene and came away impressed practically every time. The WOW factor is almost immediate and they continue to inspire audiences everywhere. They cater to many young folks and I encourage those who are interested to make the leap to audition and check this group out. If not, join me in the crowd where seats just might be limited.
