We usually start the Christmas season by attending A Christmas Carol at IRT. This year, the production was ok but not as good as in years past. The actor who played Scrooge for many years (Charles Goad) was back in the play but not as Scrooge. New Scrooge not nearly as good. Also, play was shortened - not sure why. Still a great evening!
I saw a production of Two Gentlemen of Verona in Canada perhaps 16 years ago. It was about as distant as I have ever seen Shakespeare performed. Even though I had been to the real Stratford and the Barbicon in London I could not get close to that Canadian production. I had not been to IRT for probably 20 years so I really had little idea what to expect. This Indiana Repertory Theatre production was a wonderful piece of entertainment as well as being excellent Shakespeare. If you have never experienced Shakespeare this is about as good as it gets. Whether your an experienced Shakespeare enthusiast or a novice I would recommend you see it if you can.
My wife and I attended the play "Red" at the IRT on 10/25. The upper theatre is quite intimate. The hosts and hostesses were most helpful. Seating was comfortable. Good selection of drinks available. The two actors were phenomenal. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Always an amazing time when we go here!! Productions are top notch! It's a great place for a date night for quality pieces!
We saw "A Christmas Carol"--first time here for both my husband & myself. This is a beautiful, intimate venue. The production was very well done--we were not disappointed--will definitely be back!
The building is worth the price of admission! The shows are superb! I enjoy a night on the town, getting dressed up and going to the theatre. It's located downtown Indy within walking distance on the best resturants. I highly reccommend it to anyone who has never been. It is a wonderful experience and one I go back to again and again.
This is my favorite theater! It is a great place to catch a classic play for a reasonable price. It is an intimate environment and is located conveniently in the heart of downtown. They offer valet parking, but we usually park at the Washington Street mall parking garage just east of the theater. It is very reasonable - usually less than $5.Every year, "A Christmas Carol" is a must-see for the whole family. We went to "The Game's Afoot" in April 2014, and it was hilarious and very well done. Our 12 and 10 year old children at the time loved it! We went to "The Hound of the Baskervilles" in February 2015 and it was excellent as well. We would love to see it again! I would highly recommend this theater for a great night out with your significant other or the entire family.
I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. The sound is powerful and the stage is well lit. We saw Dance Kaleidoscope and were really impressed with the dancers and the music. We would certainly go back again!
Saw "A Christmas Carol" here, our first trip to IRT. The production was terrific: inventive staging and use of the cast along with close adherence to the beloved text. The theater itself is beautiful. Ornate, intimate, comfortable. We'll be back for future productions.
I love to watch plays here and visit Indi. It is a very nice place. The last time I visited there was a wedding taking place there.
