This is the theatre on the campus of UCF. I stopped in to see a play that my dear friend was…read moreDirecting, a one act called "The Woods", it was part of their 10th anniversary celebration. At no cost, I was surprised by their quality! Quite possibly one of the best student plays I've had the pleasure of seeing. But this review isn't about the play.. it really is about the theatre, isn't it? Well, it's in an old lecture hall, so the seats are large, the rows are comfortable with plenty of leg room. The stage is wide and the lighting, while at times, oddly places, is both sufficient and efficient. The sound quality (acoustics) was quite pleasant as was the atmosphere of the lobby and box office area. The bathrooms, while dated, offered something you don't see in most bathrooms. Ledges on which to place your purse and a hook. No need to place your purse on the nasty floor! Kudos! I was quite pleased with my experience here.

My husband was searching for a local production of Spring Awakening and stumbled upon Theatre UCF…read more I went to school at UCF many years ago and never once saw a production. At $20 a person for non-students, it is a good value. The performers are student actors with an occasional professional actor. We saw Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liasons). There is plenty of space between rows so no one has to squeeze by. No food or drink is allowed in the theater. The quality of the acting was very good. If you are looking for an affordable alternative to Bob Carr, you might be pleased.

It's a short walk from several restaurants and bars so you can park in one of the large parking lots. I loved the sitting area in the lobby. Intimate seating behind large picture windows. There is a concession stand with wine available. As a matter of fact, you can pre-order a drink to pick up at intermission. So cool. I'm looking forward to returning in January for the next play.

"From My Hometown" is, without question, the hottest ticket in Central Florida…read more If you haven't secured a seat yet, do whatever you can to get one. This production delivers a level of entertainment that surpasses anything I've seen at Dr. Phillips. The show transports you to a time when confidence felt earned, ambition was fueled by self‑belief, and the dream of success pulsed through every city street. Three cousins reunite unexpectedly in 1970s New York City, each chasing their shot at rhythm‑and‑blues stardom. Having been in NYC during that era myself, the musical stirred memories of a time when music wasn't designed to shock--it was meant to lift the spirit, soothe the soul, and move you from the inside out. This show captures that perfectly. From the moment the curtain rises, the audience is swept into a world that never disappoints. By the end of the evening, you realize you've been entertained more deeply than any amusement park or theater in the region could ever promise. If the spirit of James Brown, Otis Redding, or Jackie Wilson can be felt anywhere today, it's on this stage. Absolutely loved it.

A historical little theater in downtown Sanford, surrounded by bars and restaurants…read more We were lucky enough to find street parking right out front of the theater on the day we came. Then we walked and got a bite to eat down the street at Henry's Depot, but there are lots of other options nearby. When we made it into the theater, we decided to grab a drink before the play started. Everyone working was so nice and willing to stop and have a little chat to make sure we were having a great experience. We went to see 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [Revised] Again!' What a fun time! I also saw 'Sweeney Todd' the last time it came around, which was absolutely incredible! And I am excited that I'll be seeing 'Jekyll and Hyde' next! Looking forward to see what else they'll have in the future!

Plus all of the staff are super nice and helpful, the location is super clean and elegant. They have a small table for refreshments and snacks, plus a bigger bar area with some seating for even more refreshments and snacks to pre-game in the pre-show. The show we saw Fat Ham was excellent and honestly one of the best written and acted shows I've seen in a long time. Definitely grab a show here!

We went to Orlando Shakes for our annual visit to see A Christmas Carol, and it was fantastic. It's…read morealways a holiday favorite, but this year we especially loved it because they changed things up a bit--it kept us excited to see what was coming next and made the story feel fresh. The actors and actresses are very talented, and the performance overall was great. Tickets are reasonably priced, which makes it a more affordable option if you love theater but don't want to spend the higher prices at the Dr. Phillips Center. The venue itself is easy to enjoy: there's a private parking lot, a lobby with drinks and snacks, and even a little gift shop to browse before or after the show. All in all, Orlando Shakes delivered a wonderful holiday experience, and we'll definitely keep coming back for A Christmas Carol each year.

Since I can't afford a Renaissance or Eras ticket short of parting with a major organ, blowing 20 bucks to see college theatre will just have to do. Myself and about 50 or so senior citizens sat back to appreciate the chutzpah it takes to get up on a stage and PERFORM. This is a very charming theatre with decent-sized bathrooms. You can purchase concessions at the intermission for $2 each (did someone say Airheads?!?). There is also a shuttle operated by Rollins students that runs from the Truist Parking lot to the theatre and back for those that need it. I highly recommend checking out this lovely theatre and thanks to everyone on-site today who made the experience so much fun.

This is a beautiful theater totally remodeled located in downtown Sanford…read more Last night we saw Young Frankenstein October 2024 tickets were around $30. Excellent musical with live orchestra. Plenty of seating upstairs and downstairs. They have a full concession stand with alcohol drinks beer wine sodas chips. And you can bring your drinks into the event hall. Parking is limited but they do have a big spot across the street You may have to park on side streets. They also have $5 movies on the weekdays Go check it out!!

Kudos to the cast of Dear Evan Hansen! However, I was…read morevery disappointed by the band. The theater had recent flooding that affected the Pit and the band was moved onto the main floor. This GREATLY interfered with the production. I don't understand why, in a theater which has good acoustics, the band has to be amplified. It made it very hard to hear the cast. It's shame that they worked so hard for a long time to put on the best show they could only to be drowned out by an overzealous electric guitar player and a keyboard. I admit that I am not a big fan of The Ritz, it's musty and doesn't have the caliber of shows that Theater West End has. (With the exception of this show) I m simply not going to give The Ritz another chance. My rating would be lower if not for the very talented cast.

Your kids will be a better dancer after the very first class. Check it out for yourself.

(From age 12 to 17 years.) At the time, Maria was teaching at Studio 5D. The environment Maria cultivated for her students was very toxic, degrading and belittling. The toll this emotional harm caused from Maria's negative and noxious environment was not only immediate but also long lasting into adulthood. It has taken me years to find my confidence and self-worth due to the constant berating and patronizing remarks made during dance class and rehearsal. It is extremely difficult not to start believing in the negative remarks when it has a constant presence and is coming from someone of authority. While these events did take place over 10 years ago, I cannot imagine Maria providing children a positive and healthy dance environment to learn, create and grow.
