    Steeped in history and amazing kept in pristine condition. This theatre remains a central point for ongoing entertainment in Savannah amid a backdrop of those that came before.

    This was a neat little old time theater that we stopped to check out while walking around Savannah. They were getting ready for the debut of Always Patsy Cline, so it reminded us of being back home in Nashville and seeing it at they Ryman Auditorium years ago. I really do love these old theaters, they have so much character

    The character of the theater brings you back to better times!

    The show "Savannah" is amazing the audience is encouraged to participate. The music will leave you tapping your feet, clapping and dancing! The cast gives their own personality to all the favorite songs throughout the years.

    The theater is located on Chippewa square

    This is a fun theatre. It's not a movie theatre but rather a live theatre for musicals. It's also historic as it claims to be the oldest, continuously running theatre in the Untied States. It first opened over 200 years ago in 1818! The interior is beautiful. They have maintained it well. SNACKS They serve popcorn and candy at very reasonable prices as compared to a modern movie theater. Popcorn cost only $3 and soda is only $2. Soda refills are only 50 cents. They also serve beer and wine for the adults which is a bonus. Beer was $7, which comes with plastic glass you keep, and $5 for refills. The beer cups have a sippy lid, which was a bit odd. It was strange to enjoy beer on what felt like a kid glass. However you can understand they wish to preserve the historic theatre from too many spills. PERFORMANCE The performance was enjoyable. It's a local theatre so don't expect broadway level from all actors. However I would say the main actors were broadway level. We saw the "Elf" musical which is the story originally played by Will Ferrel in the cinemas. The actor playing Buddy was excellent. He portrayed the naive, childlike character of buddy really well. We talked to the actor afterwards and he stayed in the playful character. As a musical the actors also showed off their singing talents, which were really good with the main characters. Some of the supporting roles were good but not broadway quality. The sound board also had a few missed timing to activate mics for the actors. These imperfections are what remind you that you are in a local theatre, and then you appreciate the talent of the stars even more. TICKETS I recommend ordering tickets over the phone. You can order them online but don't get to pick your seats. I defiantly recommend paying the extra $5 to upgrade to premium seats. It moved is fr the third to last row to second row center! Also note that the children seats are only about $20 (half off) and are same price for normal or premium seats. Online it seemed the children Sears were only available in normal class seating but this was not true when you called to purchase tickets.

    Historical place The Piano Man was playing. The music brought back lots of memories. So much history inside from velvet curtains, hardwood stage antique pianos, saxophone, drums, bass.

If you are visiting Savannah and are looking for something atmospheric and family friendly, this is for you! The first part takes you on a trolley ride that goes around town in a trolley while hearing from a tour guide. This part definitely emphasizes on the historical parts of Savannah and it's interesting to see these sorts of buildings with a bit of narration. The 2nd half had us stop at an old building and when we walked in, we got an amazing show inside. Note that photography is not allowed during the show. Although the story was more theatrical-oriented than historical and sometimes gave a chuckle, the actors have a phenomenal performance, especially the priest narrator. Don't want to get in too much spoilers but it's entertaining to say the least. Overall, loved the unique experience of Savannah!

Both were VERY nice and the the trolly was completely in sync with the guide (reaching the destination at just the right time in the story. The Underground performance was the most unique and exciting experience we have ever had for the environment, narrator, immersive experience and the actors. VERY fun and exciting!

    Savannah Stage Company is a non-profit theatre that formed in 2012 thanks to a successful…read moreKickstarter campaign. I was introduced to these guys through an improv performance at a wedding reception. How cool of them to perform at a wedding and what a novel idea for the bride and groom to arrange for an improv troupe to perform at their reception. It certainly made the dinner more lively and entertaining. The group that came to perform for us included Jayme Tinti (Artistic Director), Joanna Walchuk Aprea, Wesley Pridgen, and Cydnei Prather. Jayme was the energetic host/MC and she guided us through all of the acts. I've been to several improv shows in Atlanta so I was familiar with some of the formats. What makes improv fun is the audience interaction. All of the acts performed required input from the audience. Some of the acts actually required a member of the audience to directly participate on stage (or in our case, on the wedding dance floor). Examples included an act where someone from the audience would tell the actors to instantly "change" their story throughout the act and another act where the actors sang a song about an audience member they just met and knew only a few facts about. It was funny. There were games like one actor having to guess the other actors' personas or professions (suggested by the audience). There were stories and musicals with ideas, locations, and music types suggested by the audience. Cydnei served as both an actor and a live musician. I was impressed with her musical improvisation on the keyboard. On a whim, she was able to churn out music that matched the mood of the act whether it was dramatic, lighthearted, or something else. Props to her. Overall, I thought the entire group did a fine job. They were wacky, enthusiastic, and quick to think on their feet (something I'm terrible at). Thanks for the performance!
