The Art Centre Theatre

I’m a Hawaiian hula and Tahitian dance instructor and would like to set up a spring or summer camp at your dance studio. We can also a one time dance workshop. Please contact me at

I know a lot of the girls and women would love how to hula dance. It’s a very graceful dance art.

I am very disappointed in my experience here based on one real thing, punctuality. I have been in theatre a long time and have never been to a show that was notably late. I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show a few months ago and it was 30min late, Reefer Madness is an hour late. This show is already supposed to start at 10:30 and for it to be an hour late is unacceptable. I wont be back.

A fun cheap evening out. We had such a great time we have purchased a few more upcoming events. If you’re looking for a great theater experience go to Fairplay and pay $ 150 for seats and another $ 100 for dinner with wine. This is just a fun experience. Everything we hoped for.

Just went to see their performance of Into the Woods, and it was phenomenal! I appreciate that, even though they’re a small theatre, they cast exceptional talent. Second show I’ve seen directed by Kathy French, and she has yet to disappoint. Bravo!

I was in the cast of The Princess Bride last year as my first play. It was not only an extremely well done production and great success, but contributed to giving me a great amount of well rounded acting experience. This is the best place to hone your acting skill and have a blast.

Bad house management. At show time, we were tired of waiting and left. By then, I didn’t care if the play was good or not.
We showed up early (as it’s a bit of a hike) and got to sit around a long time. About 20 minutes before show time, the lobby doors were open but the lights weren’t on. Around 5 minutes before show time, the lights were on (still pretty dark), but a rehearsal for the next show was ongoing. We watched those rehearsals on various monitors in the lobby. We were told that the rehearsal was running long and that we’d just have to wait for it to end before being seated. I was surprised that everyone was so disrespectful of the audience’s and actors’ time.

I went to a play this last weekend. We bought the tickets through Goldstar. Since I find it very difficult to walk, much less to climb stairs I requested a seat in one of the first two rows. I was told that I had to pay an extra $ 7 for a handicapped seat!!! In fact the manager was extremely rude about it

One of our friends and his daughter are both in various productions here and it’s always a blast. Whether it’s family-​friendly Annie or an 18+ only comedy show, it’s totally worth the price of admission!
You can tell that everyone involved really cares, and the kiddos learn a lot.
They have concessions that you can bring into the theatre, the front row audience feels like they’re a part of the show, and everyone seems to know everyone else. We only know one family (dad and daughter are involved in the shows and mom sometimes takes tickets, or just comes to shows to support), but it’s really easy to see that everyone at ACT is one giant family.
Check out their calendar and go see them. They have the Rocky Horror Show coming up in October, and I think it’s high time I see the stage show again.
Heck one of these years, I may even try out for something again.

I came here after getting some comped tickets off
for «The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged).»
The idea of the play is all of Shakespeare plays done in about 2 hours, and it may not have been everyone’s cup of tea, but it wasn’t bad at all. It was a group of 3 teenagers and they did their best to interact with the audience. I’m pretty sure a lot of the people there were their fiends and family, but it was fun nonetheless.
It’s a nice little theater, and the staff is super friendly. I’m looking forward to the Evil Dead play in a few weeks.

Last week my wife and I brought my son to a performance of «Once Upon a Mattress». We’ve been to many local «youth theaters», and Arts Centre Theatre is right up there with the best of them and better than most. The performance was billed as being by «teens», though there were a few younger actors and some that I would call adults. Or perhaps they were just mature «late teens».
The actors were at least quite good, and at best exceptional. The evil Queen was spectacular in her … uhm … well, evilness. The «wizard», played by a young lady acting like an old lady was brilliant and sometimes stole scenes she didn’t have a word in because of her stage presence and batty improvisations. The sets were great, the costumes were great and the song and dance numbers were well-​performed. I don’t know what more I might have asked for.
One warning: if you are shy (or wearing open-​toed shoes), don’t sit in the front row. The actors do engage with the audience if you’re right up front. And the stage is right there at the front row. If you stand up, you’re on the stage.
I thought it was a travesty that the majority of the audience seemed to be friends and relatives of the actors. Assuming all their offerings are this high-​quality, this place deserves a big audience of people just coming to see the performance. The lady who took tickets seemed to be amazed that we and another couple there didn’t know anyone … that we had just come to see the play. If you’re tired of movie theaters (or the dreck that plays in movie theaters), try out the Art Centre Theatre for a performance with real, live people. We had a great time, and the actors even stayed to chat with the audience afterwards. Great fun for the whole family!

This theater produces shows continuously all year. They do an amazing number of plays and musicals, in addition to the hosting training camps/​productions for kids of all ages.
Some important recent ACT productions; Into the Woods, To Kill A Mockingbird, Chicago, 1776, Arsenic and Old Lace, Rent, and The Sound of Music, keep traditional theater and musical theater alive with a high production values.
The stage is small and the seating is intimate, but thanks to Mr. Jamison’s genius at creating and dressing sets, even complex works come to life successfully.
There are many talented actors and singers who regularly perform on ACT’s stage. This is in part because the theater acts as a community, nurturing and encouraging especially the talents of younger members.
In addition, the crowded production schedule allows a wide variety of people a chance to work at something they are passionate about. The passion shows in the performances! Actors/​singers who are continually given opportunities, bloom from the effects of experience!
Finally, one of the greatest things about ACT is the ability of families to participate in productions together! How often do you get a chance to participate in making art with your children?

I went to see a burleque show here recently. The parking was very nice and the pathway into the theatre was pretty beautiful, with roses lining the pathway. We paid $ 15 each for the show, which was pretty long and fantastic! The theatre itself is pretty small, and the seats aren’t really great for a shorter person because heads are in the way, but it’s not too too bad. The staff is friendly and overall, I’d rather go to a show here than pay $ 13 for a movie.

This may be a good place to go to see a play but do not send your young children to the summer camp. The camp teacher yells and threatens when the children do not remember the lines. When I called to discuss this with a staff member he implied that my children were not telling the truth and was completely dismissive of my concerns.
