I think you should check them out at least once before making up your mind. I've been to the Overtime Theater multiple times because a friend of mine used to perform there. I decided after a few times that I am not a huge fan of improv comedy shows. I went to the murder mystery show and it was just okay. I laughed a little bit,but it didn't change my mind on improv comedy as a whole. I'm not planning on going back anytime soon for that reason. Please make up your own mind and give them a chance. You will also be supporting a local business.

We are so fortunate to have the Overtime Theater in San Antonio. This is an all volunteer theater…read morecompany and they put on some great productions. The acting is always spot on and the plays, which are written by local playwrights, run the gamut from comedy to drama. I love that the admission prices are low and they even have a performance where you can pay whatever you can afford. There is no excuse for not checking them out. My only issue is that I wish they would have more matinees. They generally only have one for each show and I can't always make that date. Wonderful talented group of people! Love them!

i saw Annie with my grandmother and mother.

With it being such a little stage i did not feel like i missed anything and was surprised how i could still get the feel of each scene. We had popcorn and water from the concessions which was kind of expensive when you think about it. The popcorn was $2 and the water was $3 for a water bottle. outside of the expensive snacks i loved it and can't wait to go back when i come and visit.

I am not by any means a theatre aficionado, but I'm a fan of fun, and this new little "360 degree…read moretheatre" is a blast. A friend got jazzed to see Rocky Horror, so I agreed to accompany. That's how I floated into this magical spot on their second weekend. I was unsure about the location in an old nightclub in a forgotten strip off Fredericksburg, but game for some Sweet Transvestite action. It's a small space; I believe "intimate" would be the proper euphemism. From the start of the show, I knew it would be entertaining, but I was pleasantly surprised HOW entertained I was. The production was spirited and clever and campy in all the right ways. The show was well cast, with the actors all pouring their hearts out, clearly having fun in the process. Being an 'intimate' theatre, the actors were available after, posing for pictures and chatting. That's when I learned a bit of background: the Roxie comes to us via a veteran of San Antonio theatre. The morning after, I did a little googlin' ... check out the Rivard Report's writeup: http://therivardreport.com/the-roxie-360-degrees-of-theatre-one-former-nightclub/ I'm sad the new owners of the Cameo don't get what a cool guy their buddy Jesus was, but there's truth to that "one door closes; another opens" bit; I'm excited to see how Roxie takes on stage in our big little town morphing into a proper city. San Antonio actors are lucky to have The Roxie, and so are we: get thee to the theatre to support this little upstart! What Mixtli is to the San Antonio food scene, the Roxie is to the Performing Arts: it's founded on the passion of a musical theatre geek, with a commitment to quality (if deliciously less "high minded"). Lucky for us, there are more seats than a "showing" at Mixtli. I can't wait to see what they'll dream up if they can pack the place with enthusiastic audiences. (I keep hearing Frank-n-furter sing "Don't dreeeaammm it / BeeEEE iiiit" in my head as I write this...) I'm going back for more! Refreshments served before show, at intermission, and probably after(?). Miller Lite, Coors Light, and Miller High Life (!) tallboys available for $5; Blue Moon tallboy, Busted Sandal's 210, and a coupla other flavors for $7. Wine $6.

This was my first time attending the annual jazz festival and I truly was blown away. The parking…read moreat a nearby store was convenient and only a short walk to the festival. When we arrived, there was a variety of different food trucks and vendors, definitely something for everyone! Unfortunately, we didn't plan ahead and bring a chair so we stood for a good chunk of it, but it was worth it all. The musicians were all so incredibly talented and honestly provided me with so much serotonin that I didn't know was be possible. The ambience was incredible and everyone seemed like they were having a good time. The only downside is having to wait a whole year before getting to attend something like this again, but truly can't recommend it enough!

This is a really cool venue for summertime jazz, but it does get packed early. The event runs for…read morefour *sweltering* Fridays each July and starts at 7:30pm sharp (jazz musicians are prompt, it's a fact - look it up if you don't believe me). Tips for your first visit: It takes place in the amphitheater right outside of the food court and movie theater. The audience is in the shade by 6:30pm but it's still HAWT - bring water folks! They usually have two or three performers, with the headliner going on at 9:00pm. No coolers allowed since they sell beer and wine at the event. People set up chairs 5 days before the event. If you have a small group of 5 or 6 peeps you can roll in around 630pm and get a decent spot. Not the best view, but still a good spot to chill out and listen to the tunes. VIP area available too - PM me for tips on sneaking into that - I only share it with select people LOL. ;-) Not sure if they have port-a-potties or not, but I recommend using the indoor facilities located in the food court, right behind Goomba's Pizza Food trucks and beer booths on the premises. If the lines are too long at those, mosey on inside to the food court and get something pretty quick (and enjoy the air conditioning). Look for the Balcones Heights Fire Department ladder truck - they give FREE rides in the bucket and you get to view the entire venue! Do it early, because they shut down before the concert is over. Final and MOST important tip: Stay out of the fountain - the po-po will shut your party down! :)
