Francis Wilson Playhouse

Awesome little theater with great local performers. Great for an affordable night out.

Francis Wilson Playhouse is community theater at its best. The theater itself is warm and inviting. Everything about it feels like a professional venue. Just a gem the community should be proud of!

Hubby and I are theatre people. We love it. We are season ticket holder at the Straz Center, but are still drawn to other theatres around the Bay area. When I saw that Pippin would be playing we decided to give it a go. We’ve been to many community theatres, with a bag of mixed reviews. Well, this place did not disappoint! The theatre is lovely, small, comfortable and very clean. It appears that every seat would be a good one. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. We loved the production of Pippin. Very, very professional for community theatre. As in most community theatres, the cast makes an appearance in the lobby during the intermission and after the show. They were just the nicest bunch of professionals and it was a pleasure speaking with some of them. We were so impressed that we purchased tickets for the 2013 – 14 season before we left. Kudos Francis Wilson Playhouse.

I saw «Leading Ladies» yesterday at Francis Wilson. This Playhouse consistenly offers the very best performances for your money. For $ 20 I got to see a 2 hour comedy with over 10 performers. The stage production and directing must be top shelf because I always enjoy the show. Performed in a real, intimate theater, (not a make shift dinner theater) there a no bad seats. Sound and lighting systems are excellent. Highly recommend this Playhouse.
