The subtitles above the stage made it much easier to follow along with what was being sung, which really enhanced the experience. The atmosphere was perfect for an afternoon performance, and it was nice that drinks were available. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout. We sat in the upper section, and it did get a little warm--but considering it was a full house, it was understandable. Overall, it was a beautiful performance and a great experience.

My son and I enjoyed a matinee at the Bass this past weekend. I thought theatre was a thing of the…read morepast when moving to TX so I'm extremely appreciative for the offering at Bass Performance Hall. We hadn't seen Shucked before and I knew it'd be the funny light hearted silly type of humor we'd enjoy together since we love laughing. We had a great time. My son wasn't originally planning on attending but his flight was delayed by 9 hours, and the box office provided exceptional service when I needed another ticket upon arrival. While the production runs are pretty short it's so special to have the opportunity to catch the touring shows. We valeted the car and pre ordered ice-cream for intermission. If you live nearby this is a no brainer and even from a good drive over I'm still considering several other shows. The performance hall is very lovely, plush seats, lots of nice options for snacks and drinks. Bring a sweater because it can get a little chilly but perfect escape for whatever weather TX is throwing at you. Every individual from valet, to box office, ushers and more provided such great service. We throughly enjoyed ourselves. Looking forward to returning and making more of a day of it while in the Fort Worth area.

So I scored some tickets to see a play here and turns out, I've been here before and had completely…read moreforgotten about it!! About 5 years ago a local nonprofit had one of their fundraisers here and I remember thinking it was a really great venue. We got to wander around the 5 different galleries and watch the harpist they had in what I now know is one of their two theaters. After cocktails we were ushered into a large space that they had cleared out- but left all the paintings on the walls- for dinner. The room had floor to ceiling windows overlooking the rest of the arts district around the building. It would definately be a great wedding reception venue. The play was fantastic- On the Mississippi Delta- and we were able to walk around a few of the exhibits during the intermission. Check their website for upcoming plays!!!

I loved the current gnome themed art they have in the gallery entry as well as the wooden pieces. Everything I saw was available for purchase. I'll be back!

I hired Laurel as a harpist for my wedding ceremony. We wanted to hire all small business owners…read morefor our wedding vendors and Laurel was good. She showed up on time and played for our wedding ceremony. It was an outdoor wedding (Dallas Arboretum) so it was hard to find musicians who would fit in a remote, garden setting. A harp was perfect for the setting and Laurel did well.

The song list had been chosen for her to play at our Christmas ceremony and cocktail hour. Come to it, she did NOT show up and called crying that she slept through it accidentally. I'm sorry, but someones wedding is not something you sleep through, even once (and I doubt that;s true). The venue and my parents tried calling over and over for the 1-2 hours before ceremony start and no answer. She proceeded to call during the reception (when, I assume, she knew we wouldn't answer) bawling in the voicemail, saying she took too many sleeping pills and had never missed a wedding before. Again, no excuse is ok for me not having the music for my ceremony and cocktail hour. NOT worth the risk--pay a couple hundred more for someone else. VERY unprofessional and inexcusable.

What a great little space. Small stage for intimate shows, good lineup of shows like Rent (what we…read moresaw), and Jagged Little Pill based on Alanis Morissette's music. The staff are really nice and the space is so cute. I didn't order one, but my friend ordered a very small $15 Old Fashioned with a peach nectar ice cube. She said it was delicious, but it was so small, that's a steep price for a drink that small. But I guess it's all in the name of helping out the non-profit. Other than that, it was a great time. Looking forward to Jagged Little Pill in a couple months, will be fun!

The studio itself is homey and well-loved: no, it's not a brand new giant warehouse with luxurious sprung floors. But those scratched wooden floors and smoothly-worn-down barres carry so much history and love and care. I took adult ballet classes here for a year in roughly 2022-2023. All of the instructors were amazing, and treated adult students exactly like they would have their teen students - we weren't babied or not taken seriously. Margo herself would sometimes come to sit and watch our classes; she is an absolutely lovely woman and still has all the grace and elegance of her younger years. Would highly recommend MDSB for adult ballet classes, which occur on Tues/Thurs evenings. I would supplement my classes here with classes at Texas Ballet Theater on the other days and felt like I got a very robust ballet education at both schools!
