Well, we are huge supporters of the Arts and I must say it is a nice intimate theatre and has lots of great events and performances.However, my complaint really is about entertainment venues across the board, sorry I have to pick the Alliance Theatre as one of the example, simply because we just bought tickets recently from here. Why do we have to pay a "service fee" when we print the tickets at home? What do they do what they " hold " the tickets at their box office? in face, it is quite a steep charge too, $5 each to print your own ticket, $10 each to hold your ticket at the box office. It is my ink, my printer and my electricity that I am using, why do I have to pay the theatre to print out my tickets????Anyone feel the way I do? This is an outrage!!The day of pay for your services are gone, now, they down size staff, go electronic, charge you for self service, brilliant business model?? Please let them know if you feel the same way.
My wife, daughter and I went to a play at the Alliance yesterday, we saw Steel Magnolias - it was really good. The Alliance is a great place to see a play, we always sit on the bottom level and really you have a good view from almost any seat. I would just stay away from the far right or left sides. Shows are very reasonably price. I would recommend that you prepay for parking, just to make sure you have a spot in the underground garage. You could make a day of it and visit the Arts Museum and eat at Table 1280.
The talent the Alliance Theatre brings to Atlanta is amazing! I've enjoyed every show we've been to. We are season ticket holders and it is worth the money spent.
The Alliance Theatre is great place to go on a night out with your significant other or with the family. The Woodruff Arts Center is beautiful and the staff in very kinds. I really thought that the seating is set-up to accommodate everyone that has attended. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. I can not wait until the next show.
Staff was so helpful and accommodating- got there late (parking in Atlanta) and they were never snotty about it, just the opposite. They kept reassuring us it was ok! Play was awesome, really well done. Great way to kick off the holiday season!
I've seen numerous Broadway musicals and the Alliance Theater presentation of 'Tuck Everlasting' fell short of the New York standard in NO discernible way. The venue is nicely appointed (not so large that the play can't be fully appreciated) and the front of house folks from the ushers to the ticketing personnel were friendly and efficient. As for the presentation, the production design was top notch; however, the musical 'Tuck Everlasting' was the star! From the original music and choreography to the exceptional quality of both the acting and vocal performances ... I repeat 'Bravo and Well Done'!
I went here to see Bull Durham which was a fantastic show! The staff is all really friendly here and because it isn't enormous I met the cast members after the show. It was a great time!
Alliance Theater is a great place to see a play. The actresses in Steel Magnolias were excellent. Theater was very clean and staff & volunteers were very nice & cheerful
Apparently the actor playing Scrooge is new to the role replacing one who had done this for several years but he did the character well. the entire cast and production make this a must see holiday event in Atlanta.
so I've seen bull Durham and now steel magnolias both really wonderful productions.The audience was enthusiastic for both performances and the intimate seating in the relatively small theater makes almost any seat desirable.I'm looking forward to the next production which is Tuck everlasting.
