Frenetic Theater

I saw the Cat Circus here and it was wonderful! The venue felt sort of hidden and was in an interesting part of town and there wasn’t much parking, but the event itself was great!

Used to intern here so you know I love this place! Great performances, great music, wonderful performances, unique shows and art… The people who run this place are the best and the most friendly. I would recommend volunteering and/​or seeing an event here anytime!

In a though part of town. Not to mention, it’s all cheesy acting and unproffesional people…
Costs us $ 20 to get in. Should of been about $ 5-​$ 10…

This was a fun venue! I was here for the Houston Fringe Festival. I would love to come back and see more performances of other types of shows. Lovely little spot for theatre.

Rough hipster little venue in the middle of ghetto nowhere. Parking is on the street or across the street in the lot. Sells food and drinks consumable during the show. Theater is basically a warehouse with theater seats. Seating is first-​come-​first serve but you shouldn’t have a trouble finding a good view since there are only about 10 rows. Sat in the front row which was really really close to the action. Music in the musical was recorded (so that’s automatically a meh in my book). The singing was good though if you could get past the distraction of the malfunctioning mics.

Grat venue for all types of events, but parking can be interesting!

I came here this past Friday to see a performance of Rent. It is in a pretty sketchy area and might be a little tricky to find. Once inside you feel safe from the ghettoness outside.
The theater itself is an old warehouse and is a little stinky and damp. Their seating is kind of rickety but I find it charming. I love smaller venues. I feel you get more out of your experience. They get 5 stars for serving wine, beer and margaritas. They even have snacks to purchase that won’t break the bank.
I really enjoyed the engaging and intimate performance. The cast did an AMAZING job. The crowd was singing along, clapping and having a great time.
I agree with others that say it is a very interesting place, but you feel most welcome.
I will be back!

The setting of the theater is intimate therefore all the seats are good. It’s kinda cool that they have couches on the front row. Overall it’s an interesting and welcoming place.

This place is cool; they housed several shows that friends and I have come to watch over the last few years, and we’ve enjoyed them.
Getting here is easy enough to access, and there’s also a parking lot across the street (a big plus) if you can’t find a spot right in front of the entrance.
As soon as you walk in, there’s a tiny counter where you can quench your thirst before, during or after the show. I want to say the sodas were about $ 3 and the beer and wine is free with a $ 5 suggested donation. I thought that was fair since tickets to the show are pretty reasonable, usually less than $ 15, and they are supporting local artists who spend their own time and money putting the show together.
The range of shows that come here are pretty good, with an emphasis on modern dance and creative poetry mixed in (from what I saw). The main draw for me for choosing which shows I go to is if there is an aerial bit in there. I love watching an aerial artist, it’s really something spectacular and I’ve only seen previous artists on the more expensive Cirque productions. So when Frenetic has a bit of it, I’ll definitely come– its the highlight of show in my book, it’s just not something you see everyday. If you guys know of other places that presents similar acrobatic shows, do lemme know!

This theater has taken up the past 2 weekends for me — first the Anti-​Love Party and the War of the Worlds musical. The theater is an intimate black-​box which puts you close to the «action» and gives an overall more intimate experience with the shows.
Both times I’ve been here has been with a diverse and welcoming crowd which was refreshing especially during the Anti-​Love party, enough so that infamous non-​dancers Meredith N. and I were shaking our groove things on the dance floor among friends and strangers alike and having a BLAST.
Pricing for the events is very inexpensive and the theater is non-​profit so your money is going back into the arts — great! From what I have seen both at the theater and online, it looks like their events tend more towards the unusual (War of the Worlds. Musical. Come on, how awesome is that?) and that is very cool.
The directors of the theater can be seen all over during and participating in the events/​shows; those that conduct and participate in the shows are obviously very passionate about their theater and it shows.
During the event and intermission, beer and wine, sodas and water can be purchased at the front with separated recycling bins for when you’re done. Parking is a little tricky, as Frenetic is on Navigation and there is no parking lot — there are a few parking spots right in the front of the theater but otherwise you are stuck parking along the street in the neighborhood around it. The theater is right on the corner of a residential area, so there are families outside and when things wrap up late — try to be quiet outside exiting or smoking with respect to sleeping people.
Overall, I really love this place and will continue to attend events there to support the local performing arts scene and the cool people that make Frenetic possible.

I came here recently to watch «UTOPIA IN FOUR MOVEMENTS» With directors Sam Green and Dave Cerf, accompanied by the Quavers.
Tickers were $ 12 a piece. I really didn’t know what to expect from this venue since it was on navigation I was already a bit skeptical, then when I rolled up there was no street parking however, there was an abandoned lot across the street that was supposed to be for the theater. There was a guy outside directing traffic and he remained outside watching over the cars, sure enough nothing bad happened.
As far as the venue, goes it’s a tiny space, but perfect for this show. It holds a total of maybe 50 people. I was lucky enough to sit front row, literally seats away from the sound guy and only a few feet away from the band.
I love a small venue as you feel you are literally a part of the show. This live action documentary had great energy. I love this place, and will be back for future shows!
