I come here once a year to see their plays and musicals and they never disasspoint.
On the plus side, the Playhouse is an ideal size for a theatre, neither too big or too small, therefore attracting a wonderful variety of smaller productions. Both the sound quality and stage are quite acceptable. However, the fact there aren't nearly enough women's washrooms is a predictable negative for theatres of that era... maybe one day that too will change.
Brought my girl friend here and we had a blast! The basketball dude was amazing. The only problem is that I still have the following stuck in my head: "One more ball. One more ball...repeat 10x" The comedian was funny and I watch comedy all the time. The couple 👫 who climbed a pole probably the sweetest couple performing I've seen from first row seats live. The folks at the entrance did a great job suggesting first row seats. The lady at the cloak room kept making comments about my lifestyle which I found mildly amusing. The ushers were beyond accommodating that night. The magician did a great job even though we were super close to him which would have made it hard to trick us. The whole show was done a few more times same day and day after so thanks for the whole performer who kept it fresh for us and themselves giving it all. Will be back soon 🔜
Saw my son on stage tonight. Beyond words. Have been going to the playhouse since I was a teenager. Still exciting. Can't wait for the next time!
I caught a film here for the Vancouver Film Festival. It's a bit of a smaller theatre, but its very clean and a really enjoyable little place. I would definitely recommend seeing a play or a movie here if you have the chance.
