    Delta Nu inviting me to join, like, oh my gah, at Legally Blonde!

    Playhouse on the Square's new location and facilities are spacious, beautiful, comfortable, and there isn't a bad seat in the house, so far as I can tell. The production choices are top-notch while being a bit risky, and the regular troupe of actors are some of Memphis' best. I only take off half a star for the horrible wine selection and temporary parking situation. "Red" and "White" are not types of wine, ladies and gents! I don't drink anything there after my first two shows, because I usually have a sulfite headache before the second act has even begun. Parking at Overton Square is currently under construction (Later in 2013 a 435 space garage should be complete) and it can be difficult to find a reasonable space, so do arrive early. Restrooms are clean, and hallways are flanked with gallery walls of artwork from local artists, making conversation before and after the show flow naturally. Love a business that supports local artists!

    Venue Review My wife and I absolutely love live theater and I think we've been to most of the theater venues in Memphis.

    I visited Theater Works on an extremely wet Saturday night, when it was raining down buckets and…read moresubsequently for a magical 2+ hours, the play I saw there wafted me away to a Stately Home in the British countryside and then during the 2nd Act to a basement apartment in Earl's Court, London! The play absolutely lived up to one of the lines spoken by a character in the play that I saw: "Fiction fills in the void when facts are not enough!" The theater's location is great and there's a parking garage right across the street, so parking is a total breeze. However the sidewalk is really beat up and broken, so if wearing heels or slippers, just be careful when walking across. We had "Will Call" tickets for a production of "Lettice & Lovage" but our name wasn't on the list, but luckily I could show the confirmation email to the ticket-office (which was basically a gentleman sitting behind a desk). I thought the production values of the show I saw were brilliant and really also enjoyed the intimate setting of the theater - only 5 rows and so every seat is a good one! Speaking of seats, this show was general admission, so would recommend getting to the theater around 15mins early if you want middle row/ central spot. Price was also fairly reasonable ($20) and all of us had an enjoyable time, plus learnt how marmalade got its name (google if you want to know more- it's a neat story and hint - if you speak French, there's a clue in the second part of the word!) They have some wine and drinks you can buy at intermission, but I am not a fan of the "Barefoot" brand, so didn't get any - also its just your basic Cab Sav Red/ and Semillon white, so if you want Shiraz or a Riesling, they don't have that available. Oh also - coupons for places to eat in the playbill, so have a flick thru that. There are some upcoming plays coming up that sound good - so will definitely be returning back to this Theater. Note: #51 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

    Just finished enjoying The New Moon Theatre Company's production of William Shakespeare's Twelfth…read moreNight. It was absolutely fantastic! I didn't even know this theater existed and just happened to stumble across a playbill posting in Starbucks. My family was asking for birthday gift ideas so I sent them a picture of the playbill, since I enjoy live theater AND Shakespeare! EVERYONE needs to catch this before they close it out! The talent in TNMTC is boundless. Acting. Singing. Musicianship. They do it all. It was a non-stop laugh fest. Thanks y'all for putting on such a great show and thanks to my wife and two girls for such a great gift!
