Patio Playhouse

What an awesome playhouse! The theatre is intimate and so conveniently located. It felt like a treat to have the quality of a big theatre production but we were just a few feet from the actors.

My mom and I went to see The Fabulous Lipitones play last Sunday afternoon. We LOVED LOVED the performance! The place was packed! The actors/​singers were SO talented and did a fantastic job! The singing was wonderful and the message of love and non judgement of cultures that differ from our own, came through loud and clear. Left us feeling grateful.
I emailed Peggy a few days before the show to ask for special accommodations for my Mom who has limited mobility and is disabled. Peggy hooked us up and we really appreciated her help!

Fun, tiny venue. I saw All In The Timing and enjoyed it very much. The acting was pretty good, and the welcoming committee was very friendly. I’ll go back altho’ I live pretty far away. It will be interesting to see what else they will stage, as the tiny stage doesn’t lend itself to many stage props.

I went to BECKY SHAW at Patio Playhouse Community Playhouse, in Escondido. It was just awesome. From the choice of play, to the talented actors, to the delivery, I just loved it. This is an adult production, and wonderfully insightful.

Patio Community Playhouse is wonderful. It was my son’s first exposure to British humor as a high school student, which we all appreciate to this day. Whether they are performing humor, musicals, or drama, the actors are outstanding. The auditions draw talented folks from all over the county, and the Casting Director does a superb job! There is a wide variety of performances, and a Youth Theater besides.

went last eve to see 13 rue de la amour. cute comedy. i thought the actor who played the doctor was especially talented. i like the small venue. second time to the theater, will go again.

Came here on a Saturday to watch the production of «I love you, you’re perfect, now Change». It’s one of my favorite off broadway musicals and I thought it would be a great way to support local theater. The place is very small and intimate. On a packed night it could probably fit 90 or so people if they all crammed in — dress lightly, even though it was on the chilly side outside, it was borderline hot with the house full. Still, they do a decent job with local talent. All in all, for the money I paid, I was satisfied.

I have been performing at Patio Playhouse for over 20 years! It is family friendly, the shows are wonderful and they are always looking for new volunteers! If you would like to see fantastic theatre, or if you want to shine on the stage Patio Playhouse is the place to be! Patio is also one of the ONLY youth theatres that does NOT charge to be in their productions!

The Patio Playhouse a wonderful hidden treasure! Tucked behind a courtyard in downtown Escondido, this small theater is full of high caliber acting and good season selection. The mix of shows are in inventive and a bit sassy at times, but always entertaining. I know that some will shriek and hide at the concept of community theater, but they shouldn’t in this case. The Powers That Be are making smart choices (some bolder than other pro theaters around town) and for an affordable price. There also isn’t a bad seat in the house.
They also have a Youth Theatre (featuring some amazing talents) and I think they offer classes and camps as well. The Youth shows I have seen have been entertaining and enjoyable for the whole family. And in the summer, they do a musical in Kit Carson Park (the month of August) that has become a family tradition over the last couple years.
Definitely check Patio Playhouse out!

This theater never lets me down. Top-​notch plays with great performers.
The best part is how many great little restaurants there are near by. One of my favorite date night locations.
Check it out next time you’re in the area!

Patio Playhouse is a hidden gem! This small up close and person theater allows the audience to really get involved in the performance. There are no bad seats because of the size.
I went to see the «Beard of Avon». It was a fantastic performance, with enthusiastic and talented performers. I was in shock to learn that this nonprofit playhouse is run 100% by volunteers including the actors. It was a wonderful evening out :-) I will def be visiting again soon for their next show!
