It's a nice venue to watch a show like this. We had a great view of the stage from the balcony. It almost felt like being at a theatre for a movie than for live theatre.

The ticket price, though, is about half that you'd pay at the Arts Club. The company is mostly volunteer-run and often selects more off-beat productions. The intermission concession is my favorite in town: grab a pack of Rolos and a coffee for $2. (When eaten together it's kind of like a caramel chocolate latté. Okay, I'm stretching.) The chairs here could use a refurbishing, which is where the hit-or-miss comes into play. A 90-minute show in an uncomfortable chair is okay, but edge over that 2-hour mark and nothing can save that show for me. The world needs far more people with the ability to eliminate the unnecessary. I guess I'd best stop there.

Tucked away in a corner of Queen's Park in New Westminster, I had no clue this theatre even existed until a friend promoted the play (and the theatre). There is the main parking area close by, or if you know your way around Queen's Park, you can park in the lanes right next to the theatre. There are just over 100 seats, and as soon as you walk in you will feel the building infused with character and history. (If you had any doubt, the numerous pictures on the wall will give you a hint about the rich history). There is a small lobby area, concession stand, and surprisingly roomy washrooms (a plus!) As I understand it, the concession stand and other roles during play productions are all staffed by volunteers who are members of Vagabond Players. I had never known this theatre existed, but now I will keep an active eye out for future productions.

It is charming and full of history, if only the walls could talk. It reminded me of pantomime plays performed in small town theater in Enid Blyton's books. Being a small place, you can still see the performers clearly even if you are sitting at the back. I hope this place will remain open and be home to performances in the new west area.

It was originally built as a part of Burnaby South Secondary School in 1993, and it was given the name Michael J. Fox theatre in 1995. I love the overall design. It feel and looks like a classic, yet modern theatre. There are 613 theatre seats and you can sit anywhere and you'll get very good view of the stage. The seats are very supportive and comfortable. Firm with good lumbar support. Unlike seats at many theatres that are very soft, seats at this theatre won't put you to sleep. After attending over a dozen assemblies and performances and I didn't experience body pain or discomfort. The stage is large enough to hold some large performances with many performers. The Nutcracker by Goh Ballet was excellent and the performers had a lot of room to do their moves. On rare occasions, Michael J. Fox theatre is used for viewing films. The drop down screen is good, but not great. This isn't a movie theatre for sure. What surprised me the most? Quality. I was at this theatre during opening day in 1993 for school. To this day, the seats look and feel almost like new and they don't squeak. Apparently, this theatre was designed to survive a 8.0 richter earthquake too. Honestly, this is the best theatre in Burnaby for the performing arts.

Bought a ticket online to catch the last show dates of Stiles and Drewe's the Three Little Pigs. Felt like good entertainment for both adults and kids. Actors sang well and articulated their lines well. Recommend bringing kids that can sit still for 45 minutes to enjoy the musical. Kid audience seemed to be captivated by music and were happily interacting with the big bad wolf! Kid activities are a success when it makes a kid happy... after all, happy kid means happy parents :) Their tiered aisles seating plan makes every aisle or seat a good seat where you won't be blocked. Just simply choose based on your liking on how close to the stage you prefer. Buy tickets online and present e-tickets at entrance. Tickets breakdown: Adults $35 , Youth/kids $18 and Senior $29 Sadly, there are no snacks or drinks sold inside so plan your meal before or after the show. Small theatre with great entertainment value plus courteous staff makes for a fun activity!

Parking can be a pain since it's Granville Island and you may have a walk quite far, but make it a day there. Have lunch and enjoy the rest of Granville Island as well.
