The Classic Theatre of San Antonio - The Little Foxes, Written by Lillian Hellman, Directed by Melissa Utley, May 3-May 26, 2019

I enjoyed the performance tonight and regret that I have missed eleven seasons before deciding to…read morecome to this theater! The experience far exceeded my expectations, very entertaining and put on by a diverse and devoted group of people, both on and off stage. Tonight's performamce was Miss Bennet, Christmas at Pemberley. It was very entertaining and also very moving, we left the theater with alot to reflect on and think about. We bought our tickets online at www.classictheatre.org

This is a cute little hole-in-the-wall, black box theater that brings an intimate look into the…read moretheatrical productions it produces. The theater itself is attached to the Woodlawn Theater and shares restroom facilities with the Woodlawn. Running a separate series of smaller shows, the Classic Theater offers a theater-in-the-round experience with the audience seated on all sides of the theater which can allow audience interaction with the professional cast. The seating is comfortable, but you'll need the intermission to get up and stretch your legs as the chairs can get a tad uncomfortable. The theater also allows no outside food or drinks, but does have water and wine for donation (at least this was during the show we attended). Overall, the cast was excellent in Midsummer Night's Dream. They brought a refreshing perspective and performance for Shakespeare's work, which truly showed why Shakespeare should be consumed in theatrical form rather than reading, and the acting was intimate and, yet, bombastic at the same time. The cast really showed skill and thought with each word spoken, and they brought the characters to life while leaving themselves behind. With the theater-in-the-round, they worked the entire room as well as made me feel that the show was put on solely for me. I had had that same sense of disbelief in quite a long time during a theatrical production. The quality of the production also showed. Even though it seemed like a relatively low budget affair, it wasn't lacking the quality of a truly great show. My husband and I are already planning our time back to enjoy another production and we look forward to becoming regular patrons of the arts at the Classic.

We had such a great experience attending Sweeney Todd! I was expecting community theater but was…read moresurprised to experience a quality professional production with great acting and singing. This theater is located in the Wonderland mall, downstairs by the food court, in the old movie theater space once called The Bijou. How they've renovated the space to house quality theater now is impressive. This place is officially in our radar and we can't wait to experience another show.

I saw a play this weekend, in a theater at Wonderland of the Americas, and was surprised to see…read morethat the old Bijou was converted into a community theater. The Bijou, which was known for showing more art and independent movies and served food, is now the Wonder Theater. The play was the Wiz and was pretty good as far as community theater goes. Many of the plays for this season's lineup are geared towards children and are affordable. The ticket prices were: $36.00 adults, $26.00 seniors and $18.00 students and children. The lobby, concession stand and seating area have been revamped, and a small stage has been added. Seating is fairly spacious, with new seats and a very clean theater. The lobby area is similar to the Bijou's, with a small full serve concession stand, selling popcorn and other goodies. This locale is worth a visit if you are partial to theater, regardless of it being Broadway or community. Many of the shows are from Friday to Sunday, and are great way to spend the afternoon/evening.

We got to visit the Founders lounge for a drink and to see some of the costume concepts.Listen to some music and just chill till the show started. Maria got a Amaretto sour, delicious.

The evening began with a VIP Pre-Show Experience hosted by Devon Vance, Director of Development, in the Founders Lounge. We were treated to an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the production, featuring costume sketches, theatrical props, and original artwork by local artist Ruby Garcia. The space was thoughtfully decorated with gothic accents, low lighting, and deep reds that made Devon's bright and welcoming energy pop. My plus one and I were feeling a bit hungry before the show and decided to try Taste Fine Dining, the Tobin Center's pre-performance dining option (reservation recommended). The experience featured a chef-driven, seasonal buffet along with an assortment of desserts. It is well worth the price and allowed us to appreciate everyone's gorgeous Dracula inspired attire. And, finally, the performance itself--very deserving of the standing ovation! The dancers brought varying levels of experience to the stage, but choreographer Roberto Forleo demonstrated a true mastery of his craft. He balanced the technical precision of ballet with an emotional depth that brought the tragic love story of Dracula to life. The dancers and production team created a captivating performance from beginning to end. Whether you're a local or visiting San Antonio, the Tobin Center is well worth experiencing. Dinner and a ballet make for a romantic date night, and locals should consider exploring the center's membership options for even more opportunities to enjoy the arts. I live in North Carolina but I'll certainly be back!

So this is more of a review for the fever candlelight concerts they do here. Because if we are…read morehonest, the theatre is severely lacking a remodel. It's old, dank, and seats and parking sucks. Yet...that same character adds to the feel of the event you're attending. It doesn't feel like lipstick on a pig, more like we are going to work with what we got, and make it special. First, the staff is absolutely amazing. They are all "volunteers" and get paid with tips. They go absolutely out of their way to make your night feel special. They have a bar, a small bar, and the line can get long, I suggest you have someone hold your seats and get in line. You also may want to get there early to get parking closer. Surprisingly the bar isnt astronomically priced either! We saw the Metallica themed concert tonight. It was absolutely amazing! For those looking for a fun and different date night idea, this is a must! The musicians, especially the lead, are so talented. The lead was informative, and witty! We will be back again!

They truly made the experience memorable, and I would highly recommend seeing them. Unfortunately, the venue was experiencing air conditioning issues during a Texas summer. Handing out small paper fans wasn't enough to keep the audience comfortable in the heat. Because I was trying to stay hydrated, I ended up missing a large portion of the concert with multiple restroom breaks. It's disappointing that attendees weren't notified of the air conditioning issue beforehand or given the opportunity to reschedule. Knowing the conditions in advance would have allowed guests to make an informed decision. I would absolutely recommend the Candlelight Concert series because the musicians are exceptional. However, I would encourage attending at a different venue where the audience can comfortably enjoy the performance from beginning to end.
