    Omg every seat is good
    Cindy W.

    Great place to see a show.. I almost don't want to yelp about this because it's still easy to get show tickets .. lol.. grab some dinner at a local spot and enjoy a show here.. TIP .. all seats are good so you don't have to pay more for the best seats ..

    View from the front row of the balcony in this small theatre.

    Made our first visit to the Tower. What a great venue. Small, nicely decorated, and well lit.set up with a stage for live performances, or a screen for video. Decent leg room and comfortable seats. The snack bar offers popcorn as well as the usual candies, soft drinks, bottled water, beer and wine. Comfy seats with good legroom. Parking is a chore because they're downtown and don't have a parking lot. Street parking only. There are lots of good restaurants within waljing distance. Lots of volunteer staff to help you get seated and find your way around.

    Did I mention there are neon lights?

    BEAUTIFUL! I am a huge sucker for neon lights, and my gosh this place has some awesome neon lights. One of the most aesthetically pleasing buildings in Oregon. It's on a cute, clean street in town, and there's plenty to do around there. If you go to a daytime show, I would definitely recommend coming back at night just to see the lights. The theater itself is nice and homely, but doesn't feel small. The neon lights outside are also really nice and retro. I was fortunate to have done a show here, and the staff was very helpful in finding us space to store things, as well as helping with acoustics and blocking. Loved every minute of it. Also loved the neon lights, they're beautiful.

    The retro sign in front of this old theater has caught my attention over the years. I often wondered what the inside of this 1940's theater looked like. This past Friday night, I wondered no more, as I was awarded two free tickets from a Yelp talk thread to attend a live music show. I went to pick up my tickets at will call, and even though my name wasn't in the system, the lady who helped me made it happen. She was very sweet. The inside has been lovingly restored to its former glory. The lobby has a concession stand that serves soda, beer, wine, and random snacks. They had vegan cookies! The auditorium was grand in style, quaint in size. Since we arrived early, I snagged box seats in the balcony upstairs. We had a perfect view with nobody to obstruct our view. I felt slightly regal up there. The seats were comfy and ushers were helpful. The theater reminds me of my favorite non-profit theater in Portland, The Hollywood. If I lived in Bend, I'd become a member, and take advantage of the talent that moves through town.

    TWB stands for Theatre with (Beer &/or Balls) according to the header on their Mission Statement…read more That alone might suggest what you're in for if you attend a TWB production! Our first experience with TWB was last night when we attended a performance of their production of the Louis LaRusso play "Lamppost Reunion". We were fans of the skill of the acting company, a really talented group of local men (in this case, an all male cast) and well staged and directed for this single set, three act play. We think the actors were, frankly, better than the material provided through the play's script. But we were glad to have discovered TWB and wanted to pass along the "heads up" to others. (In particular since one of the talented actors who spoke with us after the performance urged us and the friends we were with to "tell your friends". Yelp friends first! :-) ) You can find more information about the run of Lamppost Reunion at the TWB Productions web site as well as more about the troupe and their mission of "cultivating a new audience" for live theater performance. Note that the theme of the current play is adult and the Hoboken Bar circa 1950 something (?) setting has language that some may find off putting. Frankly, we've long been live theater fans from our days in NY and SF and all stops in between. So no need to convince us of the fun of live theater. But had we known more about the play we probably would not have attended this production. And that would have been too bad as we enjoyed seeing these good actors at their craft. As for the current play, Lamppost Reunion, we're not prudes, one Brooklyn NY born and raised and both with experience living in NJ :-), but two plus hours of a script heavy on scatological references, jokes about penis size and the f-word isn't our thing. No doubt a bunch of drunk men at a Hoboken bar may have used all of those things in a two hour discourse to reslolve long standing interpersonal issues, but we wouldn't have wanted to sit through it in the bar either. Whether or not their next production choice will fit better with our preferences for attending we don't know. In the meantime, if the language and theme of the play aren't barriers for you...this is a fun and talented group of actors to watch. The current production is on a schedule of two nights a week and staged at the McMenamin's St. Francis school in one of the rooms next to the theater there. Open for seating an hour before "curtain", food and beverages are available before and during the production. Although one eats the food at McMenamin's at their own peril! We had happy hour dinner elsewhere before the show and beverages during. And it's worth noting that the McMenamins servers were VERY professional and did a great job of staying "under the radar" so as not to interfere with viewing the play even as they served during it.
