They interrupted me while we were singing Happy birthday to my daughter, to tell us to clean up. No common decency. They couldn't have waited the 30 secs to tell us to clean up?!?! They told us to finish our cake downstairs....12, 3-5 year old move downstairs and finish the cake. That would have been so chaotic, they didn't care. One asked me if I wanted to take the drinks downstairs then another started pouring old drinks into the jugs, so there went that idea. And the free birthday t-shirt was a small but like a looks more like a large against my daughter. She won't be able to wear it for another 1-2 years. It was a stressful time. Not impressed and probably not going back.

The Myer Horowitz Theatre is an old-school type of theatre; an all-purpose kind of place that could…read morebe used for academic lectures, ballet recitals, and rock concerts (as long as they aren't too rowdy). It is located in the Student Union Building at the University of Alberta. The staff are always super-friendly every time I've been here. The ushers, the bar staff - even the people who sell the band merch whom I don't think actually work here but still, the Horowitz's friendly atmosphere rubs off on them. The U of A advertises the Horowitz as having "a close, intimate view of the performers on stage." Unfortunately it provides a close, intimate view (and feel) of your neighbours too. The seats (all 720 of them) seem to be designed for people who are 5 foot one and weigh 120 pounds. It kind of sucks to have another human decompress beside you and flow into the space you paid for. It is not spacious like more modern venues such as the Winspear. So if you can't remember the last time you walked a kilometre and you think French Fries are a vegetable you'll hate it here. It won't help to buy two seats because of the non-retractable arm rests. The seats are situated on a slight ascent but it's not steep enough to give you an unobstructed view of the stage. In other words, if you enjoy staring at the backs of people's heads you'll love it here. The seats are slightly offset so they're not directly behind each other but it still sucks. Especially if you get a couple of lovebirds in front of you who insist on resting their heads against each other. There's a large waiting area outside the theatre to laze around in while you're waiting for the doors of the theatre itself to open. Note: The time given on your ticket for the doors opening is for the downstairs entrance from the SUB building to the waiting area - not for the theatre. This is probably an attempt to get people in the building earlier so they'll buy drinks. The Myer Horowitz has a cool historical vibe. Just sitting here I can see the ghosts of old men in grey tweed jackets smoking pipes and lamenting the fact that Canada never gave communism a try. I can also see radical punk rock bands playing here, diving off the stage and beating the shit out of their fans. Also lamenting that Canada never gave communism a try. *The above paragraph is for entertainment value only. The Myer Horowitz Theatre is not associated with the Communist Party of Canada nor is it haunted. (As far as I know.)

So Myer Horowitz is a great theatre, performing arts, music and otherwise venue. I have been here…read moremany a time over the years for special event (everything from Christmas parties for children to theatre performances with well known performers. And while the seats are beginning to show their age when it comes to comfort and size, the venue itself is rather well maintained. Staff are always great for events and this stage is quite large so it can support everything from dance to substantial sets and much more besides. The most recent event I attended here involved the venue not being entirely ready for our attendance when we arrived at the scheduled time, but otherwise the event went off seemingly without at hitch: the performance, lighting, and whatnot all went well. In the Students Union Building (SUB), this theatre venue is transit accessible, it has a manually operated elevator for accessibility, and there are nearby parkades and bicycle parking locations. There is an ample lobby which can be used for a myriad of purposes depending on the event hosted.

I won't get into details with the food and the show because every show has a different menu, but we have never had a bad meal or a bad show. The atmosphere is so so much fun. It is clear that they love what they do and they take great care and pride in the cocktails, food and entertainment. It is beautiful and classy inside. Service is excellent and they have a great cocktail and wine menu. They also have a mocktail menu for those who are interested. They are timely with their service and you are assured with the musicals that you will be out in a timely manner (because often they have a late night show after the one you attend). Try it! You will love it!

The Walterdale is a community theatre that gives many an aspiring actor, set designer, or…read moreproduction assistant some valuable experience. Although the productions are run primarily by volunteers (including the actors), the productions are very professional. Ticket prices are affordable, and there are Sunday matinees. Art from local artists adorn the corridors of the lobby, which can get quite cramped before and after a show. The small snack bar offers some candy and drinks. If you like live theatre, don't overlook what's happening at the Walterdale!

Walterdale Playhouse is my home away from home. I have been involved with the theatre for the past…read more8 years - as a patron, a board member, an actor, painter, set builder, assistant stage manager, props - you name it, I've done it. I had no previous theatre experience, but the volunteers (they have one paid administrator, the rest is entirely volunteer run) scooped me up, fostered any talent I had in me and let me run with it. I am continually amazed at the professionalism in this amateur community theatre. Their most recent production, Nine, was phenomenal. The stage was incredible. The musicians were outstanding, the cast and crew were amazing. From upside down singing on a stripper pole, to dance numbers with a huge cast - this little theatre transported the audience out of their seats and into the Italian spa. The art in the lobby is indeed from local artists and is coordinated before each show to reflect the themes in the show. All are available for purchase and is a great way to integrate local artists into our community. The theatre is cozy and very intimate, but not too small that you feel claustrophobic. Ticket prices range from $12-$20, the first Thursday of every run is 2 for 1. Also the Monday before the show opens is Student night - students get in free with a valid Student ID. Amazing deal! Located next to the Strathcona Farmer's Market, the building is a converted fire hall - the first in Strathcona - and the building is a designated heritage spot at over 100 years old.

So many talking points, great photo ops and cool backgrounds. This was a great way to spend an hour or so looking at the detail in each space.

I think it's only here till the end of October so check it out before it goes. Can't wait to see what these creative masterminds come up with next year!

My friends and I ended up spending a couple hours going through all the rooms. I was surprised that it took us this long but there was just so much to see and take in.

This is a great way to spend an afternoon and see so much amazing talent that our city has to offer!

Definitely take advantage of that as the line at the bar gets quite long. The theater was very comfy and elegant as well. We parked underground at the library.

Website is super clear and was great to know how long the show was, that there is no intermission, where to park, etc.. Since we had to change our tickets we had to pickup from box office but that was very easy to find and very nice people working there. We were in the Shocter theatre I think. It was more tight that I would have liked as it was awkward when we/other people had to squeeze by to get to their seats. Show was 10/10 great, definitely loud enough.
