The acting was good....Sort of amateurish but nice. Especially liked the humor in the modern tale of Scrooge.

My husband just discovered this place! I had no idea they did other types of shows. So we've been going to TONS of shows and loving it! From Plays to Burlesque to Comedy to Aerial Arts, this theatre has it all. It may be small, but it be mighty! The shows they are able to put on are astonishing! So, so, SO GOOD! Just keep in mind that everything (so far that I have experienced) runs 20-30 minutes late. So if you expect it to start on time, it is doubtful that will happen. I don't know if that is normal (it wasn't when I was in the theatre), but maybe that's a thing now? /shrug I don't know, but

Had a raucous good time at Majestic Science Theater 3000: Shriek of the Mutilated. In terms of laughs per dollar these shows can't be beat. - just $10! The two MST3K virgins who came with me said it was worth every penny they paid (note, I bought their tickets).

Great local place to see plays and shows. Very small so any seat is good. They have a cute little lobby. Would be nice if they had better concessions as they just have cookies and chocolates, but no snacks that are gf or vegan really. They have some drinks. Still a fun place to go.

We've been to this venue on multiple occasions. The theater is nicely decorated, clean and even has a wall collage of its history which we loved. The staff is friendly and very accommodating! I took my Grandmother to see a production of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and we absolutely LOVED it. The set pieces, props and Orchestra were fantastic! Our favorite characters were the Baron and Baroness (Portrayed by Tim & Kim Kelley). My Grandma said they reminded her of Carol Burnett and Tim Conway. The vocal pipes on Baroness = WOW! Easily one of the best voices in the mid-valley. Thank you for a wonderful
