Play of the night..
Ricardo G.

Overall the theater was nice, I enjoyed the historical atmosphere and how you felt like you were transformed back to an time. The ushers were nice and I'm very proud that this theater is apart of our city's history.

Nothing like live plays. It's small so you really feel a part of the performance. Seats are roomy and comfortable.

Waiting for the show to start

There is a lot to love about this place beginning with its history rooted in the African-American community and its tradition of showcasing quality & alternative artistic performances. If you haven't seen a show here, you should. The place really is beautiful and you can appreciate it having been rennovated. The setting is intimate so every seat is a good seat. But, honestly, the actually seats need replacing. They are not comfortable to sit on, and you probably have about just as much leg room as you would on an airplane. Some pluses include good sound quality, alcohol sales, free parking, near downtown location and easy access to I-71.

Wonderful to support the revival of the historic Lincoln Theatre. We attended a meet & greet with jazz vocalists on tour & it was a rare & wonderful opportunity to hear them as they shared their stories. While I am not much of a jazz connoisseur, which does limit the likeliness of many returns, I do appreciate their gift & talent. The building itself is intimate which lends itself nicely to this genre of artistry. It is lovely on the inside.

A great theater rich in history and character! I recommend you buy a ticket here asap!

I've seen so may shows here - it's my favorite venue in Columbus because of its intimate size and acoustics.

Awesome venue for a function. Small but large in accommodation. Easy parking and beautiful in side. Very glad we were able to visit.

Cute little theatre in the heart of Grove City, Ohio. Actors who are dedicated to giving an all…read morestar performance on a budget for people to be able to afford.

This is one of the best local theatres in the Columbus area. My son and I started coming here…read moreregularly several years ago after we were blown away by their production of The Addams Family Musical. Prior to the performance, I had asked several locals about the theatre and was simply told that it was small, hence the name. Thank you, Captain Obvious. So, with not much to go on, my expectations were pretty low. Even so, the ticketing system for this theatre is ridiculously antiquated. To reserve a seat, you have to leave a message on their answering machine. Make sure you have lots of time on your hands when doing so because you will have to sit through a greeting that goes on forever with no way to bypass it. If there is a way, please let me know how. The message will ask you to leave your information and that your call will ONLY be returned if there is a problem with your reservation. I am the type of person who wants confirmation of my reservation. Because this theatre is a good 45 minute drive from my house, I want to feel confident that my reservation is in good order. Not surprisingly, since coming here my reservations have been botched twice. Once, I left my message several days in advance, but It was never received. Last week, my message was received, but my seats were given away to someone else who also (supposedly) had my (very uncommon) last name. Highly unlikely, in my opinion. In both instances, we were accommodated with seats, but I would have been upset had we been turned away. Aside from that hassle, we adore this theatre. Yes it is small and seats less than 100, BUT the productions are spectacular! I was amazed at how much they could do on such a small stage. Choreographed dance numbers, intricate sets, top notch voices and reasonable ticket/concession prices make this historic theatre an absolute treasure in Grove City. I have not seen a bad production yet and I highly recommend the musicals. Tons and tons of talent and not a bad seat in the house!

It's not a sit down show and at times we are asked to stand up and go investigate, ask questions about clues that the other tables have. Great way to get everyone to talk with the other tables. Our meal was included in our ticket and nothing more than what we already pay at any restaurant nowadays. I can't wait to bring my family and friends, they'll love it! It's a comedy and I was a bit hesitant about it because I hate cheesy jokes, and OMG the jokes in the show are AMAZING. I laughed from the bottom of my lungs lol I'm so excited to do it again

My husband and I went to the Murder Mystery Company for our anniversary meal/entertainment. We had…read morenever been to a dinner theater/murder mystery before - so we did not know what to expect. Our first impression was that the location was good, parking was great, and seating was OK, but cramped. We were seated at a table for 6 and ended with with 2 couples that came together - very nice people. The service was good - keeping my drink full and clearing our places promptly after we finished each course. I knew ahead of time that drinks were a la carte - but I did not know that gratuity for the meal/presentation was separate. My husband and I agree that all should be included in the upfront cost so you don't feel nickel-and-dimed to death. The meal was fine. My husband hated the salad - but I as a more ecletic eater enjoyed it. It was mixed greens with sliced fruit and a light vinagrette dressing. We both liked the main course (stuffed pepper for me and chicken for him). Dessert was rated good by him and OK by me (where can you really go wrong with brownie and vanilla ice cream. A French Vanilla would have raised it to GREAT, but it was OK - good). The storyline was a bit difficult to follow - since audience members could not necessarily be heard in their acting parts and were sometimes confusing in what they said. It might have helped to either select better "actors" or to include more of the storyline in print in the binders. The length was about right. I wouldn't have wanted another "scene" or "act." I really liked the fact that you could get involved and participate as much or as little as you wanted. We chose to watch and not get up and ask questions or interrogate the principal players. The couples at our table milled about somewhat by the end of the play. The mystery was definitely solvable. I won't give the "who dunnit" away - but as soon as it was explained to us who did it and why, I rolled my eyes and smacked my head - I should have picked up on the clues. Would I go again? Yes - IF - we went with another 2 couples that we enjoy socializing with. I know we'd have a much better time and be more engaged. As to the liquor license - as a non-drinker, I'm happy that they don't serve alcoholic beverages. I do think that this type of entertainment is not family-friendly and would not appreciate having children in the audience. We did not have any kids in our seating and would not have thought that it would have been appropriate for a younger crowd.
