Lighting and sound was exceptional and the stage was well managed and roomy enough for the dancers to strut their stuff. Highly recommended for any event!

I've had very few opportunities to see theatre at the Jane Mallett theatre, but when I have, the…read moretheatre performed was excellent and was in no way hindered by the venue. Broken into different levels with a balcony also available, the theatre has great acoustics and is accommodating to full scale productions or single one-man shows. I have had the opportunity to perform on the stage on a stand-up comedy show with comics from Scotland. Having worked at the theatre right beside this one, the Bluma Appel theatre (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/bluma-appel-theatre-toronto), being able to perform on the stage itself in the theatre complex that once employed me was a very cool thing. The sound system and acoustics are great for performances with a single microphone or full-scale theatrical productions. As with the Bluma Appel theatre, there are no obstructions in your way at all. Sight lines are clear of distraction, and give you full view of the stage in theatre itself. No problems here.

I've attended several productions at Soulpepper Theatre over the years -- A Christmas Carol,…read moreWaiting for Godot, A Streetcar Named Desire, and most recently Old Times. All were excellent, with consistently high‑calibre acting that deserves real applause. Programming doesn't always align with my preferences (I gravitate toward absurdist theatre -- Beckett, Pynchon, Ionesco -- and generally prefer classical plays without modern reinterpretations or myth‑reimaginings). Still, Soulpepper offers enough range that there's usually something worth attending. Ultimately, the quality of the performances keeps me coming back.

Laughed and cried. Stories of Iranian students learning English in Iran. Range of characters and back stories. Beautiful telling of the power of words, the complexity of #language, the things we lose in translation, racialized perception and internalized racism... Oh so many lived experiences displayed in full here. Highly recommend everyone watched it while it's here until March 5! The theatre has a few auditoriums that are smaller, which provide an intimate setting for their productions. Often after shows, the cast and crew will mingle with audience in the lobby. The lobby area has seating, and a cafe. Note that no coat check is available here. So keep your bag and jackets small and light!

The space is intimate, with great sightlines and acoustics, making every seat feel close to the action. The staff are friendly and the building is clean and easy to navigate.

The box office is on the left upon entering the building. There's also coat check and a small concession stand on the opposite side. The lobby is a spacious couple of stories with art hung on the wall. Each piece of art has a tag associated with it that informs you of the artist, title of artwork, medium, price and size. There were ushers ready to answer any questions and direct audience members scattered throughout the lobby. I saw second row from the stage on the left. It's nice to be close but you have to look up since the stage is higher. Also, the speakers are right in front of you so protect your eardrums with earplugs or sound isolating earphones. There is a gradient to the seating so that should help with everyone being able to see the stage. There is balcony seating with seats extending all the way to the front along both sides.

Local productions are usually shown here - that's what I went for - to see a Fringe Festival show (it was GREAT! Restless Spirit was a great production!). It's a good size theatre - every seat lets you see the stage, which is bonus points for me! It's not fancy, but it does the job well. If you want to see home grown productions, alternative plays and see some excellent actors, this is definitely the place you want to be!

I came in here for a musical in the winter and, expecting a tiny local theatre, I was surprised at…read morehow big the space was. I was unable to check out the bar upstairs but I love the idea that you can decide to sit in a balcony in what reminded me of a comedy bar (aka with a table in front of you) which watching a show. For a small theatre, there seems to be fun innovative ways on how to utilize the stage with a second level to the stage. The seats were just comfortable enough and I didn't get the feeling that my legroom was crowded. Perhaps a summer show with no pesky winter jackets in the way would be ideal. I would definitely keep Passe Muraille high on my list when looking for possibilities of a night out.
