Wonderful little theater nestled snugly in the cockles of downtown Spokane…read more Productions are carefully selected and feature an abundance of local talent from playwrights to production crew, actors to lighting techs, set design to customer service. Community engagement and social mission are baked into the crust. Stage Left puts their (your) money where their (your?) mouth is in terms of diverting portions of ticket sales to local causes, and they have a land-lease arrangement with one of the local tribes. They are a progressive theatre, no doubt, and wear their politics proudly on their sleeve. Still, with the production I saw I was delighted to see politics riding shotgun to art and stagecraft; highly politicized subject matter was treated with more nuance and thoughtfulness than I was expecting frankly. It's a small theater so all the seats are good seats. Sound, lighting, and set design were very nice! The acting was almost universally awesome and actors seemed both very well-rehearsed and highly skilled in delivery. Prices are reasonable at $25 for weekend shows; it's a great night out and a solid value. Cheaper tickets are available during the week as well. You can buy beer and wine in the lobby to bring into the theater, alongside some other snacky sundries. The theater is downtown in one of the more distressed areas, so feel free to walk in pairs and not leave a bunch of tempting stuff visible in your vehicle.

The staff was very nice! First time to the theater! Loved the play "Corpus Christi" loved it!!!read more

Since the departure of professional theatre in Spokane, there is little doubt that "The Civic"…read morerules the roost. Most community theatre productions I have seen are geared towards family and friends of the performers with a mix of talented thespians and enthusiastic, if weaker, performers doing what they love. The Civic does not fall into this mold. Without a doubt, this is community theatre of the highest quality. Boasting two stages: a large traditional "main stage" and a "black box" theatre downstairs, Spokane Civic Theatre produces a mix of traditional productions such as "Hello Dolly" or "White Christmas" to offbeat shows such as "Rocky Horror Show" or "Putnam County." Bottom line: Don't miss the chance to see top notch theatre in Downtown Spokane!

The Spokane Civic Theatre provides Spokane with the very best in talent in the inland Northwest…read more Their seasons boast a good blend of musicals, straight plays, small and independent plays and mainstream shows as well. The theatre itself is beautiful and the modest size creates a very intimate atmosphere with each production. Ticket prices are very reasonable. You seriously can't beat the view from the audience the ticket cost and the superb skills of the actors. I just saw the current production of Les Miserables and let me just say....it is PHENOMENAL. I've seen the show on Broadway and in San Fransisco and I think this production rivals those. Kudos to the board for bringing on a great director and music director for this musical and to the men and women of Spokane (and surrounding areas) for sharing their gifted voices with us. You have another adoring fan.

It's a great little venue with excellent sound. They have popcorn and other snacks and they also have a bar upstairs. It isn't always open, but sometimes it is and it's pretty good. The margaritas are premade, but they still do the job! The staff is nice, the shows are great, and the venue needs our business to stay around.

I spent over an hour trying to transfer them to my sister through their ticketing app. Nothing worked. When I called the main number for the theater for help, the manager picked up. She was immediately condescending and rude. She said, "Dear, I'm in the MIDDLE of OPENING and I'M the MANAGER and you can just go to the box office people and WORK IT OUT WITH THEM," and hung up on me. I never asked for a manager. I just needed help. They clearly don't have a real support system. No one was available to handle a simple ticketing issue. After everything I spent to attend, including hotel and airfare, being dismissed like that was unacceptable.

The shows are so well done and the entire group of staff and actors are incredibly fun to work with. They are like one big crazy family.

The last two times we didn't have to wait in line too long, but in the past we have been in a line that went all the way down the block that doesn't move swiftly. And when weather isn't ideal, that can be a bit daunting. We usually try to do the ticket packaged with food and beverage. This time we did the Paper Plane ticket which includes an appetizer, dessert, and non-alcoholic drink. I decided to order one adult beverage and although I didn't get my NA beverage, they still charged us the full amount of the drink. It would have been nice if we could have just paid the difference. Their table running could be more efficient. One of our orders went to the table next to us. We overheard the people saying what's this, oh what a nice surprise (because they didn't order it!) so we had to re-order. I'm sure the room fills up with big acts, but it's always been only full in the front part of the room when we go. I would love it if they would space out the tables and chairs because we're literally crammed in like sardines and with four people sharing a cocktail table (each ordering multiple items), we all had to hold our plates in our laps. There seems to be space in the house, so why not give us some elbow room to spread out for shows that aren't sold out? Overall, it's a great time and there's always friendly staff.

My one complaint is that they do not give enough time for intermission. There are way too many people to make it through the few concessions lines and back to their seats before the show starts up again.
