All the seats are excellent and thus you have an excellent view of the stage. We saw The Imaginary Invalid and enjoyed the play although would have preferred a more "Moliere" interpretation. Playmakers should have matinees during at least once during the week.
As a subscriber, I enjoy the ambiance of this theater. There isn't a bad seat in the whole place. One can see and hear quite well from just about anywhere. I look forward to attending whatever the company chooses to produce here. Prices are very reasonable.
The layout of the theater seats is simply above average - no matter where you sit, you have a great view of the stage. This is not often t he case. The plays we have seen have always been very good and we look forward to seeing Cabaret. We wish they had more performances in the afternoon, even during the week.
Highly recommended local troupe. I suggest you look through their calendar yearly - they have a good mix of well established favorites and newer and off-beat selections. Find some that pique your interest and then, if you're flexible about the dates, you can usually find some cheaper nights (some even with General Admission). Seen more than five plays here including Shakespeare and have never been disappointed.
The historic Playmakers theater was the venue for the Southern Culture on the Skids concert after the UNC Libraries' opening of the exhibit, Lard Have Mercy, which focused on the 30-years-together band, within their Southern History Collection. We have normally seen SCOTS at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro or in Raleigh at a club that is now closed. The acoustics weren't great, but the venue quite interesting as I learned from the person sitting next to me that this was where Andy Griffith got his start. It has no AC (not a problem in mid-March), limited heat (radiators), and in the summertime the large barn-door type windows can be open-air. I look forward to an opportunity to visit Playmakers again soon and look into offerings at the Paul Green Theater - both close to home and with such history!
great theatre group. Wonderful productions. The community evenings are quite a reasonable way to get to enjoy live theatre often. For the most part, very contemporary plays and interpretations of.
Paul Green is a small but lovely facility in UNC's drama school. There are no bad seats in the auditorium. The theater manages to obtain some excellent talent each season, including some members of the UNC drama faculty.The theater puts on a half dozen or so plays each year. We haven't attended one yet that we didn't thoroughly enjoy. Being able to see decent theater is one of the things that makes Chapel Hill a great small town, the musical equivalent being Memorial Hall across campus. UNC attracts talent that other towns this size could not.There is a parking garage behind the Drama school.
Playmakers offers a wide variety of interesting plays. Season tickets as well as individual tickets are usually available . Good seating everywhere.
Small and intimate, this theater in the round serves up even old standards in new & innovative ways. Rarely a bad show.
This theatre has great sight lines, great acoustics, and is a wonderful venue for the plays performed
