Great quality theatre in a cozy location. Staff are excellent. Performances are professional quality
While visiting Hartford's Welcome Center, we saw an ad for Monday Main Stage, put on by Playhouse on Park. Adverised as singing waiters, with showtunes and other familiar music, we were looking forward to seeing this in the diner setting at AC Peterson Farms next door.It was advertised as being from 6-8 p.m. At 6:30, the two singers announced that neither their soeakers or mic worked. I mean, they do this twice a month and the playhouse is right next door. Did they not check their equipment? So, the two singers alternated walking around singing. The girl sang mostly Disney princess tunes and Christmas songs. The guy sang, but was off and it seemed that his song seldom went with the music, plus each had to sing the lines while looking at their phones as they often did not know the lines.It was like bad karaoke. It was a waste of time. Maybe young children and Disney fans woyld enjoy it, but it was NOT as advertised.
Playhouse on Park is a treasure in West Hartford. For theater dance, or other special events they sometimes put on, it is a great place to visit.
The productions at this theatre are first-rate, the parking is free and easy, there are no bad seats, and it's a great night out.
Just a great intimate and professional theater. Show assortment superb as well as performers, especially the in house dance group
We attended our first play at the Playhouse on Park last weekend and the show "Proof" was exceptionally good. The four actors were excellent and really made me feel like I was on Broadway. The show is wonderful and I cannot wait to go back. I loved the blackboard when we exited the theater - you could write a special message to the cast. What a great idea!The people working there were all so sweet and attentive - I felt at home. It was all in all a great event!
Lots of surprise performances. You should always support good theater no matter what the venue. And...you can have a great dessert after the show at AC Petersens!
An intimate theatre that produces amazing shows...from kids shows, comedy nights, musicals, dance revues, summer camp and classical drama. Reasonable tickets, often available as last minute idea for night out. Partnership with local restaurants for discount meals!
It is great having a quality theater company in West Hartford. The Playhouse on Park is trying to elevate itself with more ambitious productions. They should be applauded for this effort. They do still have a ways to go. Their shows can be very hit or miss. Some, like last year's "Cabaret," are of high quality, but some of their more recent shows have been lackluster. Time will tell.
...at least for me. Almost fun,the cast's enthusiasm filled the theater. The camo costumes worked real well & the guns were used to good effect-there could be a no more exciting death.Desdemona's strip was worth the price of admiss.
