| - Located in the same plaza as Green Door, Komol, Lotus of Siam, and Cornish Pasty in Commercial Center on Sahara and Maryland Parkway. Ample parking galore.
Absolutely had a blast here. I'd heard about the Onyx Theater through reading the Las Vegas Weekly. I had no idea this place existed. Anton Chekov's Cherry Orchard of the Living Dead was a hilarious rendition of the classic play! It was our first production to see here, and definitely not our last.
The place shares its space with The Rack, a novelty same-sex adult store/novelty shop. Also worth checking out if you're waiting for a show.
TINY theater that showcases off-strip productions, this place is legit. It's small, real, local, and a great place to soak up local culture. Old building that you wouldn't expect to find a stage in. That's part of the appeal!
Do not expect set changes, the stage is SMALL. Smaller than most high school stages. There's enough seating for around 50-60 people maybe? The set pieces are great, the acting is fantastic. It feels like a one-of-a-kind experience for locals.
Tickets do sell out! Cheap. Around $10-20ish per ticket. I went here on the day of the show and snagged them for 3rd row, center seats. I was surprised that there were any good seats left because when I showed up it was a full house! Try to buy your ticket online and print it out. If you do it over the phone or at the box office, they charge you $1-$2 per ticket for printing it out (AKA "processing fees"). Shame, because I was expecting a nice, hardcopy ticket (I like to collect them!).
Concessions were surprisingly inexpensive! We got a pack of red vines and a giant water bottle for $3 total. Popcorn is small and priced at $3.
I would not recommend going to shows here to people who are expecting super high-quality theater productions that you'd expect to see at the Smith Center. It's a budget theater for the local arts and not for big broadway shows. This place also hosts traveling shows/acts. Unique!
The show and the acting was solid. We did not expect to like a small theater production like this so much. Very fun evening for my date and I.
You gotta love the charm here. It's old Vegas. Low-budget, low-key, and personal. I cannot help but fall in love with it. It's a part of real downtown Las Vegas. Maybe it's not massive as strip shows, and maybe it's not as glamorous, but the experience is fantastic. My boyfriend and I had a great time here.
