Theatre Charlotte

The Aesthetic: Lovely, retro local theater with a small town feel and wonderful performances. The set design and lighting was magical! The Price: I bought 2 tickets to Stephen King's Misery that were $35 each, front row, and the play was so fun, it was a great value! The Parking: It is super sparse in the main lot, I'd say less than 20 parking spots, so I highly recommend showing up at least a half hour early and parking on the side neighborhood streets where there is plenty. My Order: 2 tickets to Misery, a popcorn to share, and 2 beers, and it was an entertaining and affordable night out in Charlotte! I highly recommend this exact combo. The Conclusion: If you want to support the local theater scene and have a fun date night, this is it!

The theater just reopened after a fire. But I had never been before. The theater was small but it had the small town effect which I loved. The actors were wonderful, the production I seen was "A Christmas carol." It was a terrific show. The staff there was so accommodating. You will definitely enjoy any production there

I must live under a rock because I'd never even heard of this theatre until recently. Situated among houses in Meyers Park, it's not something that jumps out at you. We were told this is the oldest theatre in North Carolina, pretty cool it hasn't been replaced like most everything else in CLT. We went to see Memphis last weekend & were impressed. The tickets were all the same price; you can choose your seats online & pick up your tickets when you arrive. I recommend sitting a few rows back. As tempting as the front row is, you don't have the best view. They have some snacks (popcorn, candy, etc.), non-alcoholic drinks + wine/beer. We were surprised how reasonable the prices were. They have a small parking lot, but street parking is allowed. The only downside was the seats weren't comfy and the bathrooms were small (2 stalls, I believe). Other than that, I'm a fan and hope to go back soon.

Wonderful place! I have been here several times and I can't believe I haven't done a review yet. The plays here are always awesome and the staff is friendly. Yes, it's older but it gives it character. I've never parked in their actual parking lot but it's so easy to find a parking space in the area. Worth the visit and I'm sure whatever play you see you will be happy with!

Ended up here on a super cute surprise Valentine's Day date to see Ain't Misbehavin' and it was wonderful!!! I really enjoyed the musical and I had never been to a live musical before so it was wonderfully intriguing! The cast was all black and their voices were amazing accompanied by fascinating gestures and expressions that made it very interesting to watch. Very talented group! They serve popcorn, candy, and drinks including beer and wine in the theatre. The theatre is kind of old but well taken care of. I would definitely recommend going to support your local arts!

My friend and I recently went to see "Arsenic and Old Lace." The theater itself is in an unassuming building in a residential neighborhood. Don't count on parking in the theater's small lot, but a business around the corner allows parking in its lot and helpfully turns its lot's lights on so you feel safer walking back to your car from the theater.The interior space is equally unassuming, but there are a number of tables there to sit and have a drink and snack from the concession (which accepts cash and credit cards). I found it quaint and very befitting of community theater.Plan your bathroom breaks, gentlemen, because unlike many public facilities there are only two toilets in the men's room. So, you can see the odd sight of a line for the men's room that is nearly as long as the line for the ladies' room during the intermission (thought the men's clears faster).There is not a bad seat in the theater, which is only about 20 rows deep by maybe 20 seats wide by my rough estimate. The performance was well done within the limits of community theater. If I lived in Charlotte I would enjoy attending shows here regularly.

booked tickets for a show tonight, website says 7:30. Tickets say 6. I call and say "hey. This show says it's at 7:30 tonight on your website. The tickets I was emailed say 6. What time does the show start?" The lady says, confidently, "the show starts at 6." So I literally bust my ass to get home so we can make it in time. We walk in, greeted to an empty theater, children in costume all over the lobby, and a rude older lady who decided to ignore us completely. We had to ask multiple times, no one was answering any questions, and we were basically shooed out. Terribly customer service, for a native charlottean's first visit to this theater, I was completely surprised at how rudely the situation was handled. I realize people make mistakes but owning up to those mistakes is what makes the situation better. It was completely embarrassing, for both parties at this point.

My boyfriend and I have been here for several shows and it is fantastic!!! Parking is probably the hardest part so get there early. There is a small lot or you can park on the street.The lobby is cozy with tables and chairs and couches The bar has popcorn and candy and beer and wine. All reasonable prices. You can also bring the food and beverages in with you to the theatre but please try to respect the other audience members and finish your crunchy food before the action starts.The tickets are not too pricy and the performances are stellar!!! At Christmas time they have the lobby decorated so you can get your pic taken by the gorgeous fireplace! Love it! :-D

What a charming little theater tucked away on Queen's Rd! The parking lot is super small so if you're not early don't expect to get a spot, but as mentioned in other reviews you can just park right on the street.The concessions are your standard fare with the addition of wine. I wasn't sure what wines they had but you can get a choice of red or white and they really fill up your glass for just $4.Seats are pretty comfortable and the theater has a cozy feel being so small. The musical I watched when I went was really fun and nicely executed.Can't wait to enjoy more shows here!

Well color me impressed! Theatre Charlotte is pretty fantastic! I had the pleasure of catching Theatre Charlotte's production of RENT - filled with incredibly talented local actors and actresses. The theater itself is filled with fairly comfy seats for approximately 220 people, leading to intimate shows but still offering great lighting, sound etc. Also, pricing is very fair, especially for the high quality production I witnessed with RENT - tickets were $24 for adults! As Jimmy mentioned, concessions are surprisingly affordable with wine or beer at $4. Compare that to other theaters in Charlotte and this is pretty close to a steal. This is most definitely a gem in Charlotte and I plan to head over to Theatre Charlotte much more often to enjoy great productions put on and acted by volunteers in our fine city!
