The history behind this beautiful building is what attracted my husband to take me here and it just so happened to be the matinee of one of my absolute favorite movies. This movie came out when we were 9 or so and I've watched it so many times! The acting was seriously on point and told the story exactly the way I remembered it! The stage props were very nicely made! Cute little area with snacks and drinks and very pleasant staff! So happy he surprised me with this special show in this cute little town!

THE SHOW: The musical "Assassins" was playing up here and my…read moreboyfriend insisted that we go. First off, the show was AMAZING, AMAZING, AH-MAZ-ING! I had never seen Assassins before and thought it was just really great. This is a pretty small theater with only about 8 -10 or so rows of seats. CONCESSIONS: They do have concessions that were pretty cheap and they also said that we could bring in our own. Everyone seemed pretty laid back. SEATING: We bought regular admission seats, but for $5 more, you could get reserved seating. On the night that we went, it wasnt necessary at all....but if you typically run late or just want certain seats, it may be worth your while to reserve. These seats were plastic seats, no arm rests....which is fine for us, actually I prefer that type of seating unless they are newer theater seats. ...We are bigger people, so they old theater seating really is uncomfortable to us. BATHROOM: The bathroom was a single room. It needed a bit of an improvement, but it did the job Overall, I liked this theater and look forward to any shows that may come to it. I would def go again! And the drive is BEAUTIFUL!!!

This is coming from the perspective of a local actor. Before anyone accuses me of being bitter, I'd…read morelike to say: Yeah, I'm pretty bitter. It's disheartening to get ready for an audition only to realize later that the "casting directors" are the cast. The reused cast members are all clearly very talented, but the advertisement of "open auditions" is false, and I advise hopeful actors outside the predetermined troupe to not waste their time and energy auditioning for Sierra Stages. I think that this establishment might fair well to brand themselves as an "Acting Troupe" rather than advertising open auditions for each production.

The staff there are all happy, crazy helpful and make sure you get to your seat . Every seat in the house is good so no worries there , unless you get those nonstop " dancing bears" in front of you that don't care if they stand in front of you when all you'd like to do is watch and enjoy the show. Great show, Kenny is an incredible guitarist and Noah Hunt's voice has literally continued to get better, how is THAT possible? The band , were in perfect unison all through the show , timing and tunes perfect. Thank you for the best evening

I'm struggling to give the venue 3 stars, but the exquisite sound system and professional stage…read morenotches it from a 0 to a 3. I bet performers love it for the above. As a patron, it ranks ZERO on my scale of go-back. In all my years of attending concerts, plays, and films in new and old theatres all over the US and parts of the UK (I'm 81, been doing this a while), I've never encountered such uncomfortable seating. My guess is that whoever decided on the house seating was so fixated on creating a multi-purpose facility that they threw comfort and class right under the bus. The floor level seats are apparently all on a track that is not even bolted to the floor. When one person in a row moves in their seat or starts tapping a leg *hopefully* in time to the music, the entire rest of the row feels it. If it's the person next to you, it's maddening. The seats themselves are excruciatingly uncomfortable. The tiered seating at the back of the auditorium is even more uncomfortable *AND* the noise and shuddering of the structure when anyone climbs or descends the stairs is distracting and jarring. I've been there twice now, and no more. I'll have to pick artist dates that aren't at that theatre. UGH.

The Onyx is a wonderful theater that's for patrons 21 and up. I almost exclusively see movies here…read more There are 2 screens that have about 30 seats each. They are open every day of the year. The Onyx shows indie films and main stream movies too. One of the things I find charming is the way someone always walks into the theater to introduce the movie just before the previews start. The Onyx sells candy and popcorn (last I checked it was organic popcorn) They offer wine and other beverages too. Popcorn and wine are a surprisingly nice combination!

Terrible and Disrespectful Experience at Onyx Theater…read more I took three senior citizens to the Onyx Theater to see what we believed was a movie about the band Nirvana, since my sister was a big Nirvana fan and the group was excited to see it. The movie was titled "Nirvanna: The Band - The Show - The Movie." We spent nearly $100 to get in and $100 on food there, went into the theater, and within the first ten minutes realized it was not about the band Nirvana at all, but instead about two comedians pretending to be in a band with a similar name. We immediately went back to the front to explain the misunderstanding and politely asked for a refund. Instead of showing any understanding, the staff began criticizing the three seniors for not noticing that "Nirvanna" was spelled with two N's instead of one. They acted as if these seniors were foolish for not catching the subtle spelling difference (one N vs. two N's), which was incredibly rude and unnecessary. The way they treated them was insulting, embarrassing, and completely lacking in class. A simple misunderstanding turned into a humiliating experience because of how dismissive and condescending the staff was. One star for a truly terrible experience and shockingly rude customer service.

Jimmy/Grace & Co. have imagined and created a cutting-edge troupe that puts a brilliant spin the typical theatrical experience. Good theater tweaks the material and pushes the edges. It makes important commentary on society's soundtrack and leaves audiences with an open mental window where there might have been a closed door - or even a wall. I hope this company finds enough satisfaction in this community to continue producing a handful of shows each year. I'm definitely in. All In!
