Went to see "Bad Year for Tomatos" and I laughed the whole time! It was so funny, and after people were standing up clapping! After seeing this 1 show, I bought a season ticket for the rest of their season! Can't wait until "Meet Me In St. Louis"!!!!!
I am a member of a community theater in the Twin Cities (Minnesota), and while visiting my daughter in Oak Harbor, she invited us to a play at WP. I was thrilled at the thought of seeing community theater while here.We saw the production of "5 Women in the Same Dress" last night. I was impressed that the theater took on a play such as this, being that many would not appreciate its mature subject matter and adult language. I find that WP showed wisdom and courage in producing this play, in that all communities need to be exposed to a wide range of theatrical themes and styles.All in all, I truly enjoyed the performance. The theater itself is wonderfully intimate, yet spacious in its seating arraignments; and the energy of the cast was thrilling. I heartily recommend you spend a night at Whidbey Playhouse, you won't regret it.
Been attending plays there for over 25 year and am never disappointed! In fact, I have season tickets this year.
I am a supporter of community theater and a champion of good community theater so it pains me to give my hometown theater a so-so review. Example - One of the best shows ever was 'Nunsense' a few years ago with a cast, live musicians and production values nothing short of astounding. Yet, we could hardly wait for intermission before walking out of 'It's A Wonderful Life', so embarrassed were we for the stumbling actors and childish scene changes. It was below a high school production. Caveat emptor. Sincerely hopes it improves.
I have always loved Jason Robert Brown's "The Last Five Years", and was excited to hear that it had come to Whidbey Playhouse. I was unsure as to what to expect from this community theatre, but I was pleasantly surprised by by amount of talent shown during this production. I look forward to the next show!
Great staff, great local talent, great shows. Always enjoy my time here.
There is the small town charm to this theater. But great actors and great shows. Can't wait for the next one.
The actors and actresses always do a marvelous job! The variety of shows that the Playhouse chooses keep the family, or friends or couples coming back for more. A treasure for our community.
We saw the play "A Good Year for Tomatoes". I'm sure the cast tried their best, but it is not a very good play. It was supposed to be a comedy, we didn't find it very funny so we left at intermission.
this is a small community playhouse but is a fun way to spend an evening. We saw "Run for Your Wife", a comedy and British farce. We laughed through the whole show. It was a lot of fun.
