| - Okay, so this is a review of the THEATRE, not the shows. Both shows I saw were quite good. Avenue Q was a funny, good time and Rocky Horror was EXCELLENT beyond words. Such a blast.
But I'll keep this review about the actual theatre. People with "perfect pitch" below are complaining about the mic problems and I hate to admit that she is not only humble, but correct in this case. There was one small mic problem that last for a couple of seconds in Rocky.
That said, this is a smaller-scale community theatre, not Mirvish productions. They have small, but passionate casts, performing larger than life productions. Sadly, once and awhile someone's voice gets a little pitchy, or a mic goes out. Since SOME people have such perfect voices, I DO hope they audition for future performances, because if you have perfect pitch, you should really be sharing your gift with the world. *ahem*
Where was I?
RIGHT, the actual THEATRE.
Really, I wish I could be giving this theatre a 3-1/2 star rating. The pros - There are no bad seats in the whole place! Both times I have gone I have had what many people would consider the worst seats in the house. Once right in the front and once right in the back (corner no less). When you have seats in the front, you are basically ON the stage. The actors come and interact with you and it's tonnes of fun. In the back you can see EVERYTHING and the peoples' reactions. Both seats were good. BUT the physical seats themselves leave something to be desired. THey are literally metal, folding chairs with patio furniture cushions on them. They are set on wooden risers and are very close together with narrow walking paths.
The other major problem are their bathrooms. I've obviously only seen the women's washroom though. The women's washroom has one two stalls in it, both of which are VERY small. Once you have to squeeze by an old, gross standing shower (?) to get to. The shower's sliding doors are only mostly closed, revealing garbage that has been piled up there...not like food garbage, but old pieces of crap, boxes and stuff.
Staff have all be helpful and polite when we have gone and it's old and rickety, but works. That said, I feel like a lot of these people performing are local actors/musicians, just trying to make it, or break into the business and so if the money goes to them, instead of fixing the theatre up a bit, I can understand that.
Neither time I went, did those chairs, or bathrooms take away from the great time I had. Go with a light heart and an open-mind and you will have an excellent time.
