Amazing experience!…read more We saw a concert last night at Arlington Music Hall. This was our first time here. TICKETING We found the concerts we wanted to see on the Arlington Music Hall's website. Then we initiated our purchases online through their ticketing agent - Eventbrite. We got a confirmation via email from Eventbrite. TICKET SAVING We downloaded the Eventbrite app and were able to download our tickets into our Apple Wallets on our iPhones. Perfect! PARKING There is free street parking in front of and around the corner from the venue. There is a lot and ramps within a block or two that are also free. Winning! DOORs vs SHOW Our show start time was 8pm. Doors for this show opened at 6:00. We were not able to go into the theater portion of the facility until 7:30. We arrived around 7:00. LOBBY, BAR, SNACK BAR There were staff members in the lobby scanning tickets for entry and that went fast. You may stand in the lobby area to wait for the theater doors to open, but the space there is limited. Behind the lobby is the Bar and Snack Bar area. There are a number of small, round high-top tables to stand at and there are cushioned bench seats along two long walls to sit on. The Bar also has some tall chairs for customer use. We didn't buy any cocktails, so no idea on the cost but I've read that its reasonable. The Snack Bar has water, beer, soft drinks, candy, popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, bbq sandwiches and such. And the pricing is very reasonable vs any other live music venue I've been too. RESTROOMS The restrooms are located near the bar/snack bar. I found the men's room to be clean, have a number or urinals and stalls. Very functional. THEATER GENERAL The Theater has two entry doors, so two long aisles from back to front. The sound and light boards are located between the aisles at the back of the theater (between the entry doors). About 2/3 the way towards the stage, there is an aisle going across the theater connecting the two long aisles. There is a balcony. Unsure if/when it is used, how many seats it has or how to access it. STAGE The stage is quite large in width and depth. It has a very high ceiling which likely easily accommodates tall backdrop set pieces and curtains. SOUND I saw short linear array speakers hanging from the ceiling in front of the stage. There may have been some subwoofer modules on stage behind curtains - unsure. The sound was quite adequate for this space. Note too that the walls seems to be concrete or stucco, so pretty reflective of sound. The sound team seemed to do a great job of managing levels and EQs. LIGHTING There are various uplighting on stage, downlighting above stage, lighting at the ceiling maybe 40 feet out from stage plus spot lights, likely up near the balcony. Lighting was well done and that team was responsive to the entertainers needs as he called out from stage a couple of times. SEATING / AISLE DEPTH Wow the seating was really comfortable. Cushy and wide and with cup holders in each of the arm rests. The aisle depth at your feet was enough that people could pass by you without the need for you to stand or leave your row. CONCLUSION We been to a lot of theaters around the country. This one is quite comfortable. More so that many we've been too. We have two more shows booked to see here. Looking forward to coming back.

An Unforgettable Night of Theatre…read more I recently saw Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical at the historic Uptown Theater in Grand Prairie, Texas, and it was an incredible experience. Many years ago, while serving as a soldier in Hawaii, I had the opportunity to see a professional production of Les Misérables in Honolulu. That experience stayed with me for decades and became my personal standard for what musical theatre could make an audience feel. I never expected a production in an intimate theatre in Grand Prairie to bring me back to that feeling, but it did. Somehow, this production made a smaller theatre feel like a full-scale Broadway experience. Director Michael Brown and the entire company created something special. The production flowed beautifully. The actors didn't simply enter, deliver their lines and leave. The production seemed to breathe. The music, lighting, costumes, movement, staging and performances all worked together to bring this dark Victorian world to life. Brendan Reimer, portraying both Dr. Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde, was fascinating to watch. I have loved the story of Jekyll and Hyde since childhood, so watching one actor bring both sides of this character to life right in front of me was something I will remember for a long time. After the show, I had the opportunity to meet Brendan. After watching him portray so much darkness and conflict onstage, I found him to be kind, sincere and gracious. That conversation was a wonderful ending to an already remarkable evening. And I have to mention Poole! After a lifetime of being fascinated with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, somehow Poole became my favorite character of the night. I definitely didn't see that coming! To Michael, Brendan, the entire cast, musicians, lighting and sound teams, designers, technicians, volunteers and everyone working behind the scenes, thank you for reminding me why I love theatre. From Les Misérables in Honolulu to Jekyll & Hyde in Grand Prairie, some performances simply stay with you. Five stars from me. What an unforgettable night. SPECIAL THANKS & TRIBUTE As a special thank-you to Director Michael Brown, Brendan Reimer, and the entire cast and crew, I created a special Dr. Steve Jinky YouTube Short as my personal tribute to all of you. Consider it my small gift of appreciation for the much bigger gift you gave your audience that evening. Watch my special Dr. Steve Jinky tribute on YouTube. Copy and paste this link into your browser: https://youtu.be/CY6xtk-tqDc Thank you for the inspiration, the memories, and for reminding this lifelong Jekyll and Hyde fan why a great story never really ends. With tremendous appreciation, respect and much love, Steve Simoes Almeida aka Dr. Steve Jinky

They have a few food trucks such as the Flying Pig and J Gillian's. My father blessed me with a Grilled Cheese Brisket Sandwich, from the Flying Pig. It was a little on the pricey side, $10. However, the bread was fairly large with lots a butter. Such a a interesting combination I've never heard of. You can bring your own food, drinks and pets. Just keep your dog on a leash and no glass containers. The sound is great! They have screens on the side of the stage for a better view. Also, the camera man zooms in on the stage. The stage is surrounded by beautiful Vitex Agnus trees. The landscaping is well taken care of. The lawn is large with freshly planted grass. There's plenty of space so, bring your blankets and lawn chairs. There's a large sidewalk for dancing. The event is secured too. Police officers are on patrol. Bathrooms are large and clean and the pathway to the restroom is lighted. They also have a hand sanitizing station before you get to the restroom. Balcony seating is also available. Please, see information booth regarding that. If your looking for some free entertainment, I would definitely come here.

No longer content to settle for "typical community theatre" offerings, this not-for-profit theatre has been doing some exciting and unusual projects ("La Cage aux Folles" and "Sweeney Todd" in the same season), and doing them WELL. Consequently, they're now drawing a larger and more talented pool of actors, directors, and designers to their ranks, as well as fans from all over Dallas/Fort Worth and beyond. There are ample opportunities to volunteer and be involved in the process. However, if you're content to view the finished product, their show seasons always offer a variety of musicals and straight plays, comedy and drama, edginess and family-friendly fare. No, they're not perfect, but they are certainly doing some promising things. If they keep growing and doing what they're doing, Onstage in Bedford is set to become a serious player on the DFW theatre scene.
