This was my first time to this theater. It recently went under renovations. The seats are nice and…read morethe theater is intimate. Every seat is a good one. The lobby has a bar that sells themed drinks and snacks. You can purchase drinks before the performance. They have a seating area with a smaller stage. Our performance had an intermission to also make purchases. However, the restroom line is pretty long and didn't allow me to visit the restroom and make a purchase during intermission. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They had our programs and tickets ready. The show we saw was Hairspray. It was wonderful! I love the music, dancing, costumes and and staging. The sound is great - better than the Civic Theater downtown. It was a top rate show at a smaller venue and a lower price. You can't ask for more! Parking is available on the street for three hours. If your play is going to be longer, Carlsbad offers free parking by the train station just a short walk from the theater. We will definitely be returning.

Nice Theater, "Matt and Ben" Not So Much…read more The theater has been hugely renovated since I was last there years ago -- much improved! There's a spacious lobby with a bar, although they only had one person on the bar and it was slow going. At the box office (inside) they just asked for our name and didn't bother seeing the tix on my phone. Staff were friendly. The theater itself is small. They allow drinks in that you've purchased there. (No food, although I watched one woman open a bag of crackers). The usher sent us to the wrong row, causing confusion and the letters on the end of the rows weren't obvious. There are several bathrooms, including a couple of non-gender ones. Free parking can be found at the train station behind the theater. The play we saw, 'Matt and Ben' was not great. I give it 2/5. The cast wasn't what I was expecting and it wasn't that funny, they dropped f-bombs all the time and I was ready for it to end after about 15 minutes.

I wanted to leave a glowing review for the Oceanside Theater Company (OTC) for their amazing…read morecustomer service, specifically to "Margi". Back in September, I coordinated a group of almost 20 guests to attend "Trouble Man: feat. l Young" on October 4th. On the 1st, I tried to add more guests to our party but the event was no longer listed on their website. On October 2nd, we were provided unfortunate news that our show on October 4th had been cancelled as one of the female vocalists coming from out of town had caught pneumonia, and that sales of that particular show with 3 days to go were extremely low. But Margi was very communicative, and had processed our refunds in a timely manner, and was an absolute pleasure to deal with when I spoke with her to purchase our group tickets. I would patronize OTC again without hesitation, and look forward to seeing a future performance there. Kudos to OTC for amazing box office staff!

If you live in or near Oceanside and haven't been to the First Friday Art Walk yet, you should go!…read moreI try and make it to every one, and it's always a good time. Super laid-back, very Oceanside. You can wander through Artist Alley, check out local art, talk to artists, and just hang without feeling rushed. The drum circle is always a highlight, the energy is really fun. It's easy to make a night of it too since there are so many good restaurants nearby. Grab dinner, walk the art walk, maybe stop somewhere after. It runs May through September from 5 to 8pm, and it's free. Definitely worth checking out.

My husband and I love to browse and shop, getting to know the artists who show up on the First Friday Art Walk every month in Oceanside, California (North San Diego County). It's such a treat to support local creatives. In fact, after years of enjoying the event as customers, I ended up becoming a vendor, where I sell both my International bestselling books and my unique PAUA jewelry designs. This monthly event is a gem, and it keeps growing and getting better over the years. Highly recommended.

I honestly can't say enough good things about Cadence Dance Project! We originally signed up just…read moreto try one of their summer camps, and after the first week we were hooked. My kids absolutely loved it, and so did I! From day one, everyone made us feel so welcome. The owners truly care about every single child and put so much heart into creating a place where kids feel included, encouraged, and confident. You can tell this isn't just a business to them, it's a community. The studio is absolutely beautiful, the teachers and staff are so friendly, and I love that they're about so much more than just dance. They dance with purpose, teach great values, and are always finding ways to give back to the community. As a mom, finding a place where your kids are excited to go and where you know they're genuinely cared for is priceless. Cadence has become that place for our family, and it truly feels like home. We're so grateful we found it and would recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing dance studio!
