Denise P.

For a small local theater company, Gallery Players rocks. I have seen two productions here and both were very professional, with great sets and good acting. The theater itself is very small and intimate, and with the exception of a few of what appear to be partially obstructed view seats, there isn't a bad seat in the house. My only complaint is that it can get very hot inside.

I'm going to the theatre!! I love performance arts. I saw "The Tempest" a play by William Shakespeare as the power of one here. A small but intimate theatre easily located in Brooklyn that offers quality performance arts. Gallery Players is located at 199 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215 (between 4th and 5th Avenues) in Park Slope of four blocks south of the 4th Avenue/9th Street (F, G, R) subway station. Alternatively can be reached by buses B37, B61, B63, and B103. Light concessions are available to purchase before the show and during intermission (cash only). The House Manager was informative to theater patrons prior to the production of exit locations, silencing cell phones and tech gadgets, concessions, facility locations, and the standard "no photography, videography, or recording of any kind is permitted." Gallery Players have a full list of productions throughout the theater season. My major negative comment is their very weak air conditioning in conjunction with the poor ventilation as I came here on a hot humid July Sunday afternoon. I felt very warm and uncomfortable during the entire two hour performance production. The stage floor appears rather dirty as it was never mopped or wiped. Facilities are relatively clean and located on the second floor. This theater is not fully accessible as there is no elevator and no wheelchair ramp. The theater, performance arts, museums, world travel, dining out, scrapbooking, wine, Yelp, poetry readings, books, open mics are my kingdoms of joy as the loneliness never bothered me anyway. Purchasing tickets can be done via Gallery Players's website: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/cal/104 I am enamored with their online production calendar as it gives a visual to make plans and schedule events revolving my life. The site forces patrons to create an account in order to return in the future as there is no option to purchase ticket without creating a account. The date before the production I received a helpful email reminder of the event with the date, time, location address and specific mass transit travel directions, suggested arrival time before the start of performance and no photography permitted. Most Broadway theaters do not provide reminder emails the day before the event, but Gallery Players do which is unique and distinguish from the standard. When purchasing tickets from their website I receive a "order confirmation" but not an actual e-ticket. I am always enamored with printed tickets or etickets as it serves a memory that I attended and seen a production performance to be included in my shoe box collection. The order confirmation is exactly a paid invoice similar to Amazon.com's invoice when placing orders/purchases - another negative aspect. A convenience charge of $2.75 is automatically applied for online e-ticket purchase, also another negative aspect, which is slightly less than large third party performance ticketing as Ticketmaster.com.

Location wise, The Gallery Players can be a blessing or a curse depending on where you live. But for a small fee ($18) the commute is well worth the time as this theater will prove itself as a top contender among quality shows that you think you'll only find in the city. I've came here twice to see "Oliver Twist" and "The Little Dog Laughed" and both time my experience was absolutely amazing!! Given the fact that this intimate theater is located in the basement of an elementary school, the production was anything but. In fact, the stage was very well designed and the actors were surprisingly talented and captivated the audience's attention. It's general seating so it's pretty much first come first serve, but being that this is a small theater any seating will suffice especially since the distant between actors and audience isn't much. Personally, I prefer it this way because when I was there, it allowed me to really see the subtle expressions that I would normally not see on a larger scale. All in all, this small production company is a definitely must as it delivers ongoing top notch seasonal shows that are memorable and that are seriously well put together.

Small company that shows off-broadway musicals. We went there to see Next to Normal- it was a very intimate experience. It was full yet we were around 80 ppl. I'd highly recommend Next to Normal and the tickets are $18 per show.

10/10 experience! We came here for the Princess Bride and the actors did such an amazing job! My…read morefriends and I had such a great time here. If we go back, we'd try to get here early as seats fill up quickly. There's plenty of room to stand but keep in mind it's a long show and there's an intermission in between. I would pace myself though because after all it's called a drinking game for a reason. If you're hungry, there's a spot in the main area where someone heats up frozen Table87 pizzas which isn't the best quality but when you've had a few beers and are starving, these pizzas are a godly.

A Drinking Game is more fun than it sounds: a live re-enactment of a movie from the 80s or early…read more90s (take a look at the crowd and the cast: it's all folks born in that period). that's because the cast are drinking during the show (usually, the prompt is when their character's name is said) and the audience has a few drinking rules as well. so, if it's a movie you've seen a thousand times and know all the lines to...prepare for some changes as actors flub lines, do the wrong actions, miss their cues, and more. the audience is encouraged to quote along too, which adds to the hilarity. tickets are the price of a movie ticket ($18) and drinks are of course pay-as-you-go. I most recently saw them at Brooklyn Bazaar; the group tends to shuffle around shows between there, Union Hall, and Bell House. definitely a blast to experience. get on their mailing list or social media pages to find out their next shows.

I started taking improv classes with Letter of Marque in 2018. I went to a drop-in class, and…read moreimmediately felt like this was the best place for someone like me. If you're a shy, introverted or anxious person, LOM will support you and help bring you out of your shell. You'll get out of your head and shake off self-judgment with ease. As an anxious person it can be difficult to stay present, but LOM keeps me engaged. Not to mention, improv is a great skill to have. Connecting with other people and making new choices is good for the soul! You don't need to have any improv experience for a drop-in class or Level 1. You won't be the only one and you'll make new friends! Nothing cures a bad day or a bad mood like hanging out with like-minded individuals playing games and laughing til it hurts. Everyone involved with LOM is so welcoming and so unique. It's a beautiful community of artists and it's honestly changed my life. I can't say enough good things about them (truly!)!

I've been taking Letter of Marque's improv class for a few months now, and it's always fresh and…read morefun! My friends and I were at a bar randomly talking about improv and Googled classes in Brooklyn, and to our surprise/delight, LOM came up. Plus they're nonprofit, so classes are free if you sign up in advance! One class and we were hooked! Each "season" of classes is 4 sessions, and each class has a different theme. Add it all together, and you've got a hell of a base for future improv experiences. Nolan and Scarlett are the main teachers, and they're amazing. Their weekly icebreaker exercises are always fun and low-pressure, and they make everyone feel welcome. Well, as long as you're an adult. There are some NSFW language and themes not meant for kids. Speaking of work, they also do corporate events. I've been trying to get my company to bring them in for some team building and presentation skills classes, but we'll see. I should also mention the space. Classes and events take place at the Gemini and Scorpio loft (aka G&S) in Gowanus, which is beautiful. Beautifully adorned, air conditioned, with a rooftop area. I've also been to one of their Swordraiser shows, which was an excellent time. These guys sure know how to party! I'd give them a million stars if I could!

Awesome experience and, as a friend so eloquently put it, so very "Brooklyn." I was gifted the…read morepuppet sculpting workshop for Christmas from a different friend who knows me all too well. She didn't come with me, she merely put the session within reach and nudged me along my way. I'm so glad she did because it was such a unique enjoyable experience! For a cool $60 puppet (and a whole bunch of Muppet) enthusiasts get together for an afternoon of learning how to sculpt a puppet from foam. This idea may sound simple enough, but it includes sturdy foam blocks, knives of various sizes, scissors, sand paper, permanent markers, pastels, and some creativity on behalf of each participant. Come with an idea (a photo or sketch) in mind and Kevin (the master artist and creative director) expertly guides you through the rest. The session is slated for 3.5 hours, but time flies when you're having fun! In fact, I would have preferred another hour with time to decorate my creation - being able to add fur, hair, etc. would have been a bonus. However, I'm confident I can spruce up my Jersey girl puppet BrookeLynne with an old Snookie Halloween wig and some false eyelashes. I'm strongly considering going to another session and being a little more creative with what I sculpt. The animals all turned out fantastically! Go. Register for a workshop now.

I took LWT's puppet sculpting workshop and enjoyed every moment! In addition to his (obvious)…read moretalent as a puppet creator and performer, Kevin Augustine is a highly skilled educator. He's able to impart a lot of knowledge in a concentrated period of time - offering tangible skills and approaches that you'll be able to apply toward future projects. Kevin's also very giving of spirit and will thoughtfully refer back to your sketches until, together, you coax the unique puppet that you've envisioned from out of its foam block. As a novice, I was so impressed by the balance that his workshop struck between scaffolding the necessary supports and empowering participants to trust their own ability. Also, it's just plain fun :) Put more succinctly - YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
