What a nice venue for listening to and enjoying concerts, musicals, and other stage performances…read more This venue is large, well-maintained, super clean, inviting, and fun. The inside was truly beautiful, and the large, outdoor patio, bar, and seating area were perfect and very nice. The volunteer employees were AMAZING!! They were extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Once inside, the seats were roomy and comfortable, the view from any seat to the stage was great, and the sound was FANTASTIC! My wife and friends were there to watch a U2 cover band (L.A.vation) perform, and they were INCREDIBLE!!!!! Visiting this theater was a fun and exciting experience

I came here to support a friend's dance workshop earlier in the week. The studio itself is a bit…read moresmall but nothing to complain about. The staff is very friendly and really encourages supporting other dancers, love that. Felt very welcomed coming in for the first and only time unless more friends decide to workshop. Floors are a bit slippery but of course no street shoes should touch the floor however this was a pop up workshop so the shoes were definitely on the floor. This is my first and probably only time here so I'm only going based off my one experience here and nothing really blew me away. I do understand that this isn't a regular dance studio, it's more for kids and performative dance. Great staff though.

Our daughter has been coming here for four years now! It is amazing to see her progress in ballet…read moreand now she loves dance so much she has expanded her horizons to jazz, hip hop, and tumbling. Most dance studios cost an arm and a leg; Stepping Out has always been reasonable and accommodating. It's great to be able to enjoy dance and not worry about corporate society when this is a studio that is truly family run and family oriented. This will be our second competition season with them and we are excited to have our dance family there to support us. They Dance from the heart and we truly appreciate everything they have done for our daughter.

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!

Everyone is amazing and gracious in spite of doing this over and over and I'm certain no two shows are the same. I would only change one thing and that is that the theater request all guests to have a slight bit of theater etiquette. I understand this is an audience friendly show with interactions between cast and audience, some of these families do not prepare their children for how to behave nor correct inappropriate behavior during the performance. At last night's show a young boy hit "Billy" so hard with the stuffed rabbit that his glasses flew into my lap 5 feet away. We noticed "Billy" had a band aid on the rest of the show. Whether that was a joke or real, the boy should have been reined in by his parents long before because he was also talking or shouting out through the performance. The cast handled it with ultimate professionalism and rolled with the "punches" as it were. This truly shows how amazing they all are and why The Maverick is a great place to see a show. Now if they would just do Clue on stage again ;-)

Overall excellent musicians,…read morehowever the lead singer's voice was a bit weak and his voice was perhaps 50% quality of David Clayton-Thomas. Jeff Coffey came on the stage later with the weak-voiced guy and had a strong performance. The show started off below average but ended quite well, with many Chicago classics performed. I would give this review 5 stars if not for the average weak-voiced Blood, Sweat, and Tears singer.

What a little gem in Uptown Whittier!…read more Parking is a breeze even though there is a little bit of a walk, but there is plenty and it is free. Snacks and drinks are available to purchase; wine, beer, cheese/crackers, candy, chips, water. Bathrooms are plenty and clean. But let's get to the auditorium, shall we??? It's so adorable and fancy! The architecture in this place is beautiful, although kinda funky too with it's bright colors. The first time I walked in, I literally was amazed. It feels like a "big league" playhouse, yet it is small and quaint at the same time. Seats are very comfortable with legroom and not a lot of "pardon me, 'scuse me" issues since it is laid out with short rows. I've literally sat in the vey back row of the main level and was able to see and hear perfectly! Kudos for the acoustics. The temperature in the auditorium is also comfortable; not too hot, not too cold. A wide variety of performers at the Shannon Center! Plays, musicals, entertainers, all music genres! Check out the Hawaiian series too. Need something artsy and entertaining to do? Check out their website and see all the upcoming acts.... you may just have your next date planned! Wonderful job Whittier College! Shannon Center is only list of places to "go to" when looking for something to do. CHEERS!

Came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon to catch the Whittier College Department of Theatre's…read moreproduction of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and was more than pleasantly pleased by both the venue and the comedic performances. While, yes, I am a biased and proud aunt of the female lead, I was still able to cast my biases aside and review the venue as a whole. That said, my niece rules, my niece rules,my niece rules. First off, the parking was super convenient, free, and located on the same lot and block as the theatre. The ticket prices were fair, as they went for $15 bucks a pop. Not too shabby for 2 hours of live entertainment all while supporting the college theatre department. The theatre was on the larger end of the small side. I'm not too sure if there's a larger stage, but the one that we were in seemed to suit the play nicely. I enjoyed that aspect because I really got to appreciate the nuances of each performance, attention to detail, and engage in the communal aspect of being part of a live audience. Good stuff. Oh yeah, the restrooms were also pretty big. On the downside, I wish there would've been more variety at the snack bar during intermission. Not a big deal. Go eat after the performance at one of the many local restaurants nearby. Also, the seats were padded chairs, so be sure to shift your position after some time. Overall, loved it! It's a shame I hadn't attended any previous productions, but rest assured that I'll be returning for more. Support the kids, support the arts!

All of the actresses did amazing, only factor I didn't love was the exaggerated accent by "Carmen", I understand wanting to sound more authentic and play into it but it wasn't very fitting and all the other actresses used their real voices and they still sounded very latin and true to the story. Would definitely recommend this show for anyone who loved the film. Few things to keep in mind: Theater is small, but lots of parking! To drink a beverage inside the theater you have to purchase a 5$ sippy cup (not bad) The vending stand prefers cash or Venmo All seats are good seats bc it is a smaller venue
