As an active member of the North NJ theatre community for about 10 years now, I am proud to call…read moreStudio Players my "theatre home." They strive to produce interesting shows with quality production values at a very affordable price. They offer a wide variety of shows ranging from relatively new works (they were the first non-professional theatre to be granted the rights to "Birthday Candles"-- just a year after it premiered in NYC with Debra Messing) to beloved favorites. The environment is welcoming, and they have made significant progress since the pandemic in attracting and featuring an inclusive and diverse slate of theatre artists. At $25 a ticket you can rest assured that you are supporting a quality organization who is determined to provide you with a good show!

I have seen some absolutely amazing shows over the years at Studio Players! Last January's "Other…read morePeople's Money" was even ranked as the best community theater performance of 2015 by the Montclair Times. This charmingly intimate theater offers 4 shows a year for 'grown-ups" and also has shows for children and families. This theater is a great value for some very good quality theater at truly affordable prices. Many other community theaters charge more and their quality is substantially lower.

Wellmont Theater is a great concert venue if you live on this side of the river and don't feel like…read morecrossing a bridge into the city. It's a manageable size, there are parking garage options nearby, and plenty of food within walking distance. The venue is small enough that there really isn't a bad seat in the house -- unless you end up next to a bad patron. Sightlines are solid throughout. Sound quality was good, and security did a great job managing the walkways and handling crowd surfers when they were dropped up front. A couple downsides: there are not enough bathrooms. During breaks, the lines stretched out the door, down the hallway, and across the width of the theater. The seats are also extremely tight. Tickets are reasonably priced, so next time I may just buy two per person for a little extra space. They do have adequate bars, though drinks are pricey. Bottled water is $4, and they won't provide a cup of water (I had to buy one so my daughter could take medicine). Overall, still a really solid venue and one I'd return to -- just plan ahead for bathroom lines and tight seating.

The Alexander Kasser Theatre has very unique programs. Sunday, I went to see The…read moreForgotten/L'oublie(s). This program is one of several in the Peak Performance series. The programs are $20 per ticket plus $3.00 handling fee totaling $23.00. Initially entering the theater, the greeter didn't even say, Hello or Welcome. The young girl just scanned my ticket and blurted out, "Once you leave the theater you can't reenter". Management needs to address this issue Anyway, I proceeded over to the prepaid parking. The two young girls at this desk were very friendly. The theater is immaculately clean. You are also in a gallery. A small concession stand is off to side. Entering, the actual auditorium, the ushers are friendly and escort you to your seat. On with the show, "The Forgotten/L'oublie(s).". The program's theme was nonverbal, mysterious, sad and sexually suggestive. A portion of the program was executed in a Cirque du Soleil style. The show was even more great for $20.00. The show's duration was approximately 60 minutes. Rating wise, all the positives outweigh the negatives. 4 Stars. (If I didn't have that initial cold greeting, my rating would've been higher!) The theater is located on the grounds of Montclair University. Lots of signs directing you to outside handicapped parking and garage parking. The garage parking is $6.00.
