Centre Stage

We love centre stage. Have been many times and will continue. Tonight we saw " Night, mother" . The acting was good but it was difficult to hear. Our biggest question is why was one actor white and one black? We where waiting for the why in the story line? It wasn't there? It was distracting as they where mother and daughter?

Breaking Up is Hard to Do was my first play at Centre Stage. We had great seats although the small personal theatre has no bad seats. The actors were so talented and the music was fun and took me back to the good old days where you sing along (Neil Sedaka). The bar has a good variety of drinks and cocktails that you can take inside the theatre. Take cash. There was a sign on the bar where we came in saying the first 10 people to post a selfie on Facebook with their logo in background would receive a free drink. We posted and got free drinks. Centre Stage is a great community theatre with a wonderful line up of shows coming up this season. I will definitely go back. Such an enjoyable evening.

I love this venue! Every seat is a good seat. The place is small but puts on a big great show each time. It can be a little hard to find on your first go, the entrance is in the back of the building. I've seen 4 different shows and loved them all. The cast acts and sings great. The costumes are well thought out. The decor and set designs are flexible with switching walls and lighting. The lighting is colorful and bright, and the audio is loud enough to enjoy but never too loud.The people who run the place always take the time to help me with my seats, ordering wine and snacks, and adjustments to my ticket orders. You will have fun, you'll laugh, and you may cry, all around wonderful.

Local artist really shine here. I have visited many times and truly believe there is no bad seat in the house. My Mom and I recently watched the performance of jingle all the way. It was an awesome way to get into the holiday spirit. I really enjoyed the different skits. My favorite were the men's ensemble performing their rendition of the Macho Man featuring Amazon prime and the elf of the shelf was fantastic! I may have nightmares about that one to come. My Mom really loved the women's ensemble performing their rendition of 9 to 5. We will be trying to recreate those songs for years to come. Definitely enjoying having some champagne and snacks during the show!

Centre Stage is no Peace Center but I was blown away by the local production of Mamma Mia. It was such a well done production! The characters were so well selected and the talent was incredible. The stage area was not very big but they used the space so well. Even though our seats were off to the side, I felt like I was transported to the small Greek island. Shout out to the actor who played Sam Carmichael. My fiance who has never watched the movie before watched him act and said "Wow he reminds me of Pierce Brosnan!"I will certainly be on the look out for future plays!

DOV: Friday, April 13 @ 8pmOH MAMMA MIA, MAMMA MIA!!!Who says Friday the 13th is bad luck? We had front row seats to this fun-filled, ABBA-inspired celebration of love and laughter (Michelle P., Community Ambassador, you are awesome) The players were great, the songs were classic, and the energy was contagious...we didn't want it to end.Centre Stage is a small, intimate venue where every seat affords a decent view of the action on stage. This was the first time we had been on the front row (fancy) and it was quite a treat. I could literally reach my leg out and touch the stage with my foot. Pretty cool. There is parking for the venue across the street for $5, but you can park for free at two different lots only about a three-minute walk away. Refer to my previous review for more information on parking and Centre Stage itself. We had the best time at MAMMA MIA. The arts are so important in the life of our community and I encourage everyone to support them in any way possible.

My first visit was opening night of Mama MIa! The production was outstanding BUT the sound system was abysmal...weak, difficult to hear, and scratchiness. The seating is "theater in the round" stadium. The steps are steep so I suggest selecting something low if you're older, have weak knees/hips. We navigated well, but I can see where some people might have issues. Be aware that the floor plan is confusing. I couldn't recreate how to maneuver once inside, if I had to. Perhaps it will be clearer after my next visit. The assistants were cheerful and helpful. Walls are adorned with lots of local art. Our evening was most enjoyable despite the sound system problems and the cast was fantastically talented! There is a parking lot adjacent to the door and a parking garage on the side of the theater, but a brisk walking distance away.It just makes you "bust your buttons" to have this kind of talent in our cozy hometown. Yeah, that Greenville!

We really enjoyed seeing "Let Nothing You Dismay" at Centre Stage. This is a holiday comedy about family and a performance in which the actors play several parts, which made it even funnier! The theatre itself is small, but nice. Even sitting at the very top towards the right, we had a great view of the stage and all the actors. In the lobby there's a small bar with beer, wine and snacks. Ticket prices are very reasonable, and to make it even better there's a $5 off tickets promotion on Yelp! Oh, and parking is easy! Just one more reason to come support and enjoy community theatre in downtown Greenville!

I won tickets to see Mamma Mia here through a Yelp giveaway.. We saw the show last night, and I was super impressed! There were coat racks available, the will call process was simple, and all workers we encountered were very friendly. We were 3 rows from the stage, but all seats in the theater had a great view!! The sets were gorgeous, and you could tell the performers were having a great time. It was a fun show to watch, and it provided a lot of laughs. We will definitely come back to check out other performances!!Parking is available in the lot next door for $5. There is a small concession stand offering pop, water, wine, beer, and candy.

Phenomenal theater! The volunteers are always so nice! They hold the tickets so someone will give them to you upon arrival. They have a beverage/snack area that is filled with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The best part, they allow you to take your beverages into the theater with you!! AND if you would like to pre-order a beverage for intermission. This way you can skip the line. The theater itself is small and quaint. I LOVE IT!! I have sat on the sides before and in the center. Obviously, the center seats have the best views. However, the seats on the sides are not terrible.If you a have the opportunity to see a show here you should definitely not miss it!!
