Had season tickets last year and have renewed for this year. Each play was better than the last. They do an incredible job with a small stage to work with. Looking forward to this season. Always a very enjoyable evening in Glendale.
If you enjoy live theater and you can leave your cell phone life for 2 hours, then this place is for you! There are no bad seats in this stage in the round theater. Plenty of leg room, fresh baked cookies at the front concession stand and lots of friendly employees in the house. This is a family run theater that rivals the big houses. I have seen many productions here and have enjoyed them all. They also have children's theater on Saturday afternoons. Support live theater and visit this amazing venue. They will be doing a production of Hairspray in August. Do not miss it.
have great comedy and musical plays. The price is right for the great quality of actors who perform. Have the whole year [planned so you can plan well in advance.
I have been to this theater many times and this show has been, hands down, the BEST show I have seen there. In all the other shows I have attended there has always been at least one weak performer, but this show had all strong performers, great story line, and very well executed.One thing they could improve is to shorten the owner's opening monologue of announcements. However, it did give me plenty of time to visit the rest room without missing the show!
I have only seen a few productions at this theater, but they were both wonderful.The theater is in the round and there is not a bad seat in the house. It is so intimate its awesome.If you like good musicals go see them here.
I went to the 9:30 pm New Years show so that I could ring in the New Year with a smile. The play was, as always, very well done - lots of laughs and some tears here and there. During the intermission, there were delicious snacks, hot cider, and coffee and tea. After the play, there was music and dancing. It was a very pleasant way to bring in 2014!
Enjoy theater "in the round", with lots of opportunities to see the action close up. Glendale Centre Theatre puts on fun, entertaining plays and musicals, that you don't have to worry about taking your kids or your parents to see. It's a kick to have actors right in front of you or singing beside you in the aisle. Like any good theater they create an atmosphere to tell the tale, and with the smaller size of the venue you can't help but feel like part of the action. Very enjoyable!
First time attending GCT....with Community Theater you never know what you are going to get. So I booked Man of La Mancha with a little bit of faith --- Wow am I glad I did - What a show - it was tremendous - a lot of fun. Laughs and a few Tears. I was very impressed with the venue (not a bad seat in the house) -- but I was more impressed with the quality of the performance - very Broadway worthy - especially the 3 leads !!! Took my wife and my Teenage son. Yes we were on the younger scale of the average age in the audience - but we had a blast (even my son). After dinner we went to El Morfi - grill and continued our nice Sunday afternoon into evening. Note - the parking structure is opposite the Sears parking structure a little south of the theater. --- Cheap parking with validation and dining options are a block or 2 away --- we will go again --- we have tickets booked for The Christmas Carol.
Came here in October (2013) to see Hairspray the Musical on it's last showing date. Here is just a quick word of advice: You MUST come early for the 1st come 1st serve style seating at this theater. My husband and I arrived 1 hour prior to the show and had no problem redeeming our tickets (purchased on line prior) and heading to the theater room. We sat in the front row on the opposite side of the main entrance. What I liked about this theater is the unique 360 viewing, so really any seat would be good (but of course sitting up closer would be easier than at the very top). One negative of where I sat would have to be that props that the talented actors used throughout the show. There would be times where a chalkboard prop would block part of my viewing and I wouldn't be able to see some of the actors dancing to the beat and such during their number. Overall, the play was excellent and would love to see another excellent musical here again.By the way, it does get rather chilly in the theater, so make sure you bring a coat or sweater.Also, we parked in the lot right next to the theater (this is a lot right behind Porto's... not a bad idea to stop by after or before your show to grab a bite to eat). I believe it is about $0.25 per 15 or 30 minutes (So parking really isn't too bad of a price... but of course free would always be better).
Took my grandkids to one of the shows for children. They cater to the kids. Very good experience for all of us
