Mosaic Lizard Theater

We love the Mosaic Lizard! Such a charming theater that showcases original works from the heartwarming to the hilarious. Don’t miss Bat Knight on Sunday nights!

The lizard theater is a cozy place with hilariously written shows. The most recent one I’ve watched was Dark House, in the spirit of Halloween. It was both hilarious and a tad bit scary. The actors and actresses at this theater are amazing. They have weekly showings of Bat Night on Sunday nights, which are absolutely funny and I’d definitely recommend going to watch one. They have snacks and drinks as well!

All the shows here are fantastic! The best smaller sized intimate theater I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to several over the years. Great people. Great fun. Makes for a great night out.

Another brilliantly written and excellently performed play at the Lizard! All of the actors were on point, as usual. «Projection» keeps you enthralled from begining to end. It will run Fri.-Sun. through Feb. 1^st. Do not miss this one!
What a geat way to spend a Friday or Saturday night! Dinner AND theatre in Alhambra. There is plenty of free parking around the area. You can start off by dining at one of the many fabulous restaurants on Maine Street, listen to some fun music being played next to the theatre, and end your evening with an always entertaining play at the Mosaic Lizard Theatre. A must do!

If you want some great entertainment go see a show at the Lizard! I always have a good laugh and everyone performs brilliantly! Good times! I’ve seen a few shows and I am always laughing hysterically great comedy! Jay, Cameron and the crew know their stuff!

I’ve lived in Alhambra for two years and just got around to checking out the Mosaic Lizard, and I have to say that I’ll definitely be coming back! The atmosphere for small black box is perfect, and the theater accommodations are spot on (working ac, good view from every seat, comfortable cushions, great lighting). We came from watching Boundless One Acts, and could not stop laughing. Lauren Sinatra’s Arena Heroes is nonstop hilarious, that girl can definitely write comedy and I hope to see more of her work in the future. Ryan Perez is a natural talent.

A great performance of Testament by The Mosiac Lizard theater. A short run but one worthy of an extension.

Great Production «New Testament» by Jay Parker. Great Cast enjoyed it very much. Was amazed at the talent & chemistry with these performers. A must see.

A great little theatre with great original plays. I saw «Testament» tonight and was very impressed. Great job guys! This is a great place to experience local theatre arts. Please support your local arts. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve seen a few shows by Jay Parker and Spider-​Man written by his son. They are very talented men. get there a little early as the theater is small, but the upside of that is every seat is a great view.

Went to Spider-​Man Turn on the Lights a musical comedy. A great show. Hilarious and was so entertaining. We have seen many a production here, and for a few dollars more then the price of a movie, seeing a live show is an amazing value. The cast is always excellent and some of the best shows are the original works by Jay Parker, Producer of the theatre. The theatre is quaint and intimate and comfortable. Next time looking for some great entertainment mosaic lizard theatre is a great pick.

Went to see the closing performance of «Shadows in the Fog» Great show! Our whole party was going to consists of 4 people, when one could not show up, I thought I was going to have to pay full admission or «hang» outside until I could ask some one to go half with me. THEY LET ME IN AT HALF PRICE. First time at this location. Will definitely be back! 2 thumbs up!

We enjoyed the performance and the venue, and will definitely be coming back for more!

I watched «Shadows in the Fog» on Sunday, 10÷6÷2013.
The play started on time. «Shadows in the Fog» is a murder mystery with plenty of twists and turns that will leave you wondering who the real murderer is til the end. The plot was paced well. It did not lose my attention at all. The acting was sincere and professional. The lighting was at times too dark and the props used were not the best (ie. the entire play happened in a dining room) but it did not diminished the acting quality.
The air conditioning inside was also a wonderful relief from the heat outside. Seats were comfortable, but not arc light cinema quality.
Tickets are 2 for 1 on sunday matinée performances. Normally tickets are $ 15 per person. Either way, it is still an entertaining way to spend a sunday afternoon and to support local arts. Plus, the theater is located in the heart of Main Street, so it is easily accessible and close to restaurants, etc…
I will definitely recommend this theater and I will definitely come back.

What a Great time! My first time here for opening night for «Shadows in the Fog» ! The cast was amazing as was the play! I will be going back for sure and telling all my friends and familiy!!!

I’ve decided to up my rating from 3-​stars to 4-​stars because I feel like my review was entirely of the show I saw, rather than the venue. I actually love this venue and its location… in fact, it was entirely the reason I came here. I just did not really appreciate the show I saw («Ain’t She Suite»).
I was under the impression that the playhouse was home to a specific, resident theater group, so I was assuming that most of the shows would be — for the most part — very similar, and a product of Mosaic Lizard. But the more I think about this, the more illogical it seems.
However, I don’t think this is the right attitude. When you go see a movie, you usually go for the movie and find a theater that’s showing it… the theater is just there to help enhance your experience. When I came to Mosaic Lizard, I think I equated «5-​stars» to whatever show I would end up watching as well.
At the end of the day, this is a charming 49-​seat theater. There are a lot of estimates floating around in these reviews. According to the venue’s website, it is a 49-​seater.
If you’re a playwright and are thinking of featuring your show here, then I say look no further — this place is awesome. If you’re a theater-​goer and are thinking of checking out this theater, then I say this is the wrong mindset. Try to come for the show, and enjoy the theater while at it… not the other way around.

Please note that the review is based on the venue, not the play.
Mosaic Lizard Theater is a cute hole-​in-​the wall theater on the busy up and coming area of Main St. in Alhambra!
We randomly came here just to check out what the fuss is about and to support our local theater.
We saw the Ain’t She Suite by Jay Parker. Which wasn’t bad, but wasn’t «wow this is amazing. «
The show started at 8 so we’ve arrived 30 minutes earlier to purchase our tickets. The doors were open but no one was in sight until 20 minutes later. The cashier arrived and a few people started to trickle down.
The theater is quite small as expected, and holds about 25 seats. Their stage is also small but it was very versatile with surprised hidden doors. You can sit anywhere and still have a clear vision of the play.
The bathroom was kind of janky, but they had a tub of cheap gel and a comb in the bathroom… which I thought was disgusting but cute. They cranked up the AC the time we went, so be sure to bring a jacket just in case!
Even though this particular production was not as great at I anticipated… I like the fact that MLT tries its best to help these small low budget productions. I would come here again, just to get away from the loud bar scene and to support to the local theater!
CC’s also accepted! (They use a Square Credit Card reader, so it might take awhile for them to process it)

Fell in love with this place after skepticism about the size of the Theater! Support your local community theater, Alhambra and surrounding communities! They have this AMAZING show there now called «Ain’t she suite». Theater is small granted, but the actors make you forget anything about a «small theater». Check it out! Highly recommended. They have a FB page too if you want.

It was my first visit to this theater. It was opening night for Death of a Salesman and I gotta say that I absolutely Loved it!
It’s a small theater that seats perhaps 50 or 60 tops. Yes, it is air conditioned too! The theater stage wasn’t what I had expected — well, I don’t know what I expected. It’s very simple, yet quaint.
The play was wonderful and had, what I felt, was an important message for parents. It brought a tear to my eyes as well as it made me laugh.
The cast and crew were awesome!
They offer refreshments for donations.
For $ 15 per person, we were entertained for nearly 2−½ hours. Where can you get that now-​a-​days?
The Mosaic Lizard Theater is a hidden gem in Alhambra that is a must visit when in town!
I cannot wait for their next show!

I recently saw the play «Iceberg Ahead» and was blown away with the fantastic performance. Funny is one of the words I’d use to describe this play,… witty, intelligent, playful and just out right GREAT are some of the other words that I feel work in describing this play.
Intimate and casual is the way i’d call the Mosaic Lizard theater, you can tell that these people care about quality, with a quality theater, cast and writing I just know that this place will be around for along time, at least that’s my hope.
Do yourself a favor and see this play before it ends !!!
