We absolutely LOVE this little theater!! We've been to several plays here over the years and none…read moreof them have ever disappointed!! I want to say that the theater holds maybe 75-100 people...? Comfy seats and every seat is a great view. Prices are great, our last show was $39 each. The actors are fun and you can tell they absolutely love doing what they do. They are there to make everyone happy including themselves and their fellow castmates. There is a bar with drinks and snacks, we've even seen shirts for sale! We are considering purchasing a "B Season Pass" so we don't miss out on the shows this coming year, some sell out fast! I hate to even give a great review because I don't want people to buy up all the seats from under us, but yet I want to also give this theater a huge and happy round of applause for being FANTASTIC!! We will see you again soon! Cheers!

It was the best surprise- I had no idea until we arrived. The Maverick puts on this play every year and it is outstanding. Their seasons always bring unique, quirky shows. From King Kong to Rocky Horror to Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. There is always something cool happening. Brian, the owner, is dedicated to theater and is a friendly, welcoming guy. The staff and actors are wonderful as well. Probably our favorite local theater.

The exposed beam interior only makes this theatre more inviting. The theatre is clean and somewhat well maintained. There was a restroom problem on the day we attended. If you look hard the location does show it's age. But don't let that fool you. This venue has good bones and provides a pleasing experience. From the balcony, the view is good. The sound could use some updating. The volume although adequate was not accompanied by a sound quality deserved by the wonderful production. Thank you for the experience, although not perfect, it was indeed pleasing.

As a lifelong Phantom of the Opera fan, I jumped at the opportunity to attend a screening of the…read moreoriginal silent film with a live orchestra accompaniment. The best part was that this entire event was free, which was a pleasant surprise considering how much I've spent to see anything Phantom of the Opera related in the past. The screening featured appearances by the great grand daughter of Lon Chaney, the actor who played the Phantom, as well as the composer of the evening's score, Scott Lasky. This was such a nice surprise by the theater, and I'm amazed at the effort put into a free event. (Still waiting to see a theater [safely] recreate the famous chandelier scene). The theater is also owned by the city of La Mirada, so it's nice to see the city investing in making arts more accessible for the public. The theater was clean and tidy inside, and the seats felt spacious compared to other theaters. The venue staff were friendly and efficient, and actively managed the bathroom ques to keep it flowing quickly, which I had never seen before but wish more venues implemented. Parking was spacious and plentiful, as the theater sits in a plaza and has a shared lot with other restaurants and a gym. I will definitely be looking to come back to the La Mirada theater for future screenings or productions.

So a few weeks ago, my partner was looking into local Broadway shows and remembered me mentioning…read morehow much I loved Phantom of the Opera. That's when he stumbled upon a free community event hosted by the La Mirada Symphony and La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts. Not only was this such a thoughtful gesture on his part, but it also turned out to be a really lovely evening with lots of interesting twists! This was actually my first time watching a silent film, and it made me realize there were a lot more film versions of Phantom of the Opera than I originally thought. The film we saw was the 1925 version directed by Rupert Julian, accompanied by the La Mirada Symphony performing a newly compiled score that followed the film scene by scene. As a Phantom fan, I thought this was such an incredibly unique way to experience a classic. Outside of the people lucky enough to be in that auditorium that evening, who else can honestly say they've been able to bask in such an eclectic silent film experience, backed by a live orchestra bringing all the drama to life? Not many people, I'll tell you that much. And the best part of the silent film was the subtitles, hahahaha. +1 for accessibility, forever and always! And don't even get me STARTED on the unexpected celebrity guest appearances because I'm still shooketh. Tell me how I blinked and all of a sudden, the great-granddaughter of Lon Chaney was there in person, pulling raffle tickets during intermission and announcing the winners of the giveaway baskets. THEN composer Scott Lasky himself showed up on stage at the end to take a bow. Both were such unexpected surprises, and I definitely did NOT anticipate becoming part of movie history lore that night because that was highkey pretty wild. I should also mention that this entire community event was 100% free. Admission was free, and we didn't have to reserve tickets or seats ahead of time. Parking was also free because the theatre shares a lot with UFC Gym, Wendy's, and a bunch of other businesses, so there was no need to stress about finding parking or paying for it. The show was pretty packed, but we arrived early and managed to snag decent middle seats just a few rows from the front of the stage. Big ups to the venue staff, too. They kept everything running smoothly and in an incredibly orderly fashion, from getting everyone into the auditorium to efficiently managing the restroom queues. For such a packed-out event, everything felt like a well-oiled machine. The entire experience was very buttoned-up, and I was genuinely impressed. Between the live orchestral score, the unexpected special guests, and the fact that this entire experience was at no cost to attend, this was such a memorable evening. Huge thanks to the La Mirada Symphony and La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts for putting together such a wonderful community event celebrating the arts and keeping theatre alive. I'm already looking forward to coming back for future musical and play productions!

Not just any popular song, but the music from bands who made a blockbuster hit, but did not continue with more hits or an album. These are referred to as the "One Hit Wonders." Special Guest this evening is radio personality, Shotgun Tom Kelly. He published a book and was the Emcee for the evening. A book signing event was held in the lobby before and after the show.

One of the fun features is to do the photo through the TV, but there's no hands-free setup for that, also the TVs were not lighted up so they would come out as dark frames against the backdrop. The hands free setup is literally a SLOT that you put your phone in and hopefully with your TIMER setting (since selfie sticks are not allowed) you can run back and forth and not make anyone else in line shoot stares of death as you check your photo again. JUST GIVE an EMPLOYEE GLOVES so they can take the photos for you, I'd say if I was at the meeting. Anyways, its a couch. and i guess you come out as color and the background is like B&W set? I think so, but my photos are all blurry.

The Night Market itself was alright there wasn't many vendors or much of really anything to occupy our time with. The screen they were showing Back To The Future on was relatively small and just wasn't an all around enjoyable size for the large group of people in the park. What this appeared to be was something that wasn't a too well thought out idea had they had a bigger screen we might have stayed longer than the first few minutes of the movie. The atmosphere on the other hand was killer I mean come on your in a park next to the awesomeness that is the Packing District so that was definitely a plus as was the free admission to the event. Hopefully they do this again sometime and put a bit more planning into the event as it could potently be a spectacular family friendly outing for all ages to enjoy!

Other then that, it was great, would've liked a little more vendors around to keep me occupied while waiting for the movie but other then that well done. My family and I had an amazing time!

The Haunted Mansion has always been one of my favorite rides at Disneyland and Disneyworld-- this…read moreride is a classic. This ride has really not changed over the years. This ride is a mixture of a little scariness and humor- so the ride is good for all ages! Of course, kids may not understand all the jokes on the ride as more geared towards young adults or adults. Despite not understanding the script on the ride, kids can still enjoy all of the effects and sights throughout the ride. The ride starts in the hall and then moves to carts that are for two to three people. The ride is dark, so if you do not like the dark, you may want to skip this ride. Also, please remain in the carts when moving. The ride stopped several times as riders were getting out of the carts. These stopes ruin the vibe for other riders. This could also present danger to those getting out of the cart- so stay put and enjoy the experience!
