    Opening stage set for Beauty and the Beast
    Lauren C.

    Not sure why I never reviewed one of my absolute favorite places in Memphis til now! Well, I guess I just gave this review away with that statement...but just listen to the why! Every theatre company in Memphis works hard to get their productions right. Every theatre house in Memphis is a joy to attend. Theatre Memphis just has something I have not experienced at any other: a welcoming family experience. I could go on and on with how awesome their productions are every time. The actors that are chosen are always a perfect fit for their roles. The scenery and costumes never fail to wow me. The directors at Theatre Memphis know how to time everything in a way that shows off the actor's personal style. The orchestra and sound systems provide a very enjoyable experience every time. This is a theatre made up mainly of volunteers guys! These people come to the theatre after a full day of work at their respective jobs and rehearse and rehearse and rehearse to perfect their production. The skill and attitude of these workers are amazing to me. I volunteered here for a bit over a year and got to see how much goes into these productions. I was like family here and I knew nothing in the beginning! Patience and kindness go a long way! If you ever want to volunteer your time here, you will learn alot more than you ever imagined. This is where I used my first power tool, changed my first costume, pulled my first curtain, and many more experiences. You will be welcomed, you will work hard, and you will have way more fun than you ever imagined.

    Great, intimate setting in the small stage area

    We have attended several plays at this theater and always enjoy the performances and the intimacy of this theater. We are always thoroughly entertained and have since purchased season tickets and brought other friends to the plays. Be aware that there is raw language used at times in some of the plays. So, if that bothers you were you intend on bringing children, be sure to ask before you purchase your tickets.

    Well, I wish there was a way to review individual shows, but I guess that doesn't make sense since…read morethe productions are temporary. So, I will comment on the venue itself up here and place a block below for specific shows and will update that block whenever I see a new one! I'll put the run dates in the title line so you know whether or not to pay attention to it. Venue Review My wife and I absolutely love live theater and I think we've been to most of the theater venues in Memphis. We've seen many productions at the Playhouse on the Square and it is just a fabulous place to see a play, or even the ballet. It is not a huge venue so when I say, "There isn't a bad seat in the house." that is dead on. The seating is comfortable. The facilities are clean. The staff is always nice. And the productions are always top-notch! One thing about Playhouse and its surrounding theaters is the pricing for their shows is usually very reasonable compared to the competing theater across town. We always come in from the North, down Central and usually, we park in the parking garage near the square itself. This last time it was raining and we noticed there is actually a parking lot on the East side of the building! It is a nice parking lot and it is, of course, a much shorter walk than the walk from the garage! However, if you plan to eat before or after a show, the garage might be a better choice. Production Reviews Below Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - 1/19-2/18/2024 I am a HUGE fan of the 1971 film, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, starring Gene Wilder (who isn't, right?). I think we all would like to forget the 2005 remake of the story with J. Depp, so to say I'm dubious when it comes to the treatment of this story is probably an understatement. Knowing I am such a fan of this story, my wife surprised me with tickets to this show. I've never seen it done live and I was excited but trepidatious because some of the stuff I loved about the 1971 movie, the special effects, the sets, just couldn't be duplicated on a live stage. That said, because I knew that going, in I was a bit forgiving and might have been a little excited to see how they adapted it. I was not disappointed one bit! Of course, the main storyline was the same, but there were nuances of modernization. The names of the children were the same and the core of their bad behavior too. However, their backstories and the style of their ultimate demises were slightly different. I won't give critical details away as I don't want to spoil it for you, but just as an example, Mike Teevee's problem is still sitting in front of a screen too much, but his addiction is to the Internet and video games rather than classic television. Clever. The young star of the show, Drake Shehan, was incredible and an absolute delight to watch! The young man could sing, and dance, and his acting quality was that of someone 10 years his senior! The rest of the cast was great as well, just a super ensemble. This was one of the best shows we've seen at Playhouse and they did a fantastic job of adapting this to the stage. You have a little more than a week to catch this and you should before it is gone!

    I had no idea that places like this existed in Memphis outside of the Orpheum, but I was pleasantly…read moresurprised. My wife and I enjoyed the performance of "Your Arms Too Short To Box With God", last night. This will be the first of many performances that we will enjoy here! I highly recommend a trip for a performance. You will not be disappointed.

    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.

    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!

Now in its 56th year, the studio prides itself on providing the highest quality dance education--Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Lyrical, Tap, Modern and Hip Hop--as well as stage presence, acting and pageant preparation. Thanks to the combination of excellent training and Ms. Brown's emphasis on traditional values like hard work, dedication, team work, commitment and attention to detail, her students consistently win top awards in competitions, earn college dance scholarships and go on to perform professionally. While those accomplishments are impressive, perhaps the strongest testament to how special it is to "grow up" at Performing Arts is that former students bring their children (and grandchildren!) here to continue the tradition. If you're looking for contemporary training in a traditional setting, call today for further information.
