| - I've been lucky enough to visit Stage West a handful of times... my parents have season tickets so whenever they don't want to go, I get to. It rocks!
I seriously love Stage West days. I've only been for the lunch performances but I say with great conviction that it's up there with the best way to spend brunch time. The food they have is breakfast combined with dinner, so you can pretty much eat anything. It's buffet-style so you can choose what you eat and how much. The cost of food is incorporated into the ticket so don't feel bad about stuffing your face until you think you'll explode!
My favourite thing about Stage West is that you can eat during the performance. I usually start my meal with breakfast, then go for seconds to get salads and more lunchtime food, then I go for thirds and stock a plate (or a couple) full of fruit and desert... oh, and one plate for shrimp. I love being able to snack away on the food while the show is on.
Food aside - because I could talk about it forever - the shows are always a lot of fun. There isn't usually much audience participation, but that doesn't even matter. Stage West always chooses the best plays, mostly comedies or musicals, and the production are extravagant and outstanding. The actors and technical support really go out of their way to put on a great performance.
The place is pretty big, with plenty of seating, but there isn't a bad seat in the house. They have it laid out so that no matter where you are you're getting a good view of the show.
The price of the tickets may be a little expensive (which is why I'm glad my parents give me their season tickets sometimes) but I definitely think it's worth it. After all, you get as much food as you can fit in your belly (or purse) and then a wonderfully performed production. This place is a little fancy, so don't dress too casual. I really do love going to Stage West... what a great way to spend time with your family, or have a nice date with you significant other!
