Little Theater Off Broadway

Cute little theatre in the heart of Grove City, Ohio. Actors who are dedicated to giving an all star performance on a budget for people to be able to afford.

This is one of the best local theatres in the Columbus area. My son and I started coming here regularly several years ago after we were blown away by their production of The Addams Family Musical. Prior to the performance, I had asked several locals about the theatre and was simply told that it was small, hence the name. Thank you, Captain Obvious. So, with not much to go on, my expectations were pretty low. Even so, the ticketing system for this theatre is ridiculously antiquated. To reserve a seat, you have to leave a message on their answering machine. Make sure you have lots of time on your hands when doing so because you will have to sit through a greeting that goes on forever with no way to bypass it. If there is a way, please let me know how. The message will ask you to leave your information and that your call will ONLY be returned if there is a problem with your reservation. I am the type of person who wants confirmation of my reservation. Because this theatre is a good 45 minute drive from my house, I want to feel confident that my reservation is in good order. Not surprisingly, since coming here my reservations have been botched twice. Once, I left my message several days in advance, but It was never received. Last week, my message was received, but my seats were given away to someone else who also (supposedly) had my (very uncommon) last name. Highly unlikely, in my opinion. In both instances, we were accommodated with seats, but I would have been upset had we been turned away. Aside from that hassle, we adore this theatre. Yes it is small and seats less than 100, BUT the productions are spectacular! I was amazed at how much they could do on such a small stage. Choreographed dance numbers, intricate sets, top notch voices and reasonable ticket/concession prices make this historic theatre an absolute treasure in Grove City. I have not seen a bad production yet and I highly recommend the musicals. Tons and tons of talent and not a bad seat in the house!

Found this theater by accident searching for Off Broadway shows coming to Columbus. Decided to give it a try with very low expectations. It was me my wife and two friends. We saw a British Comedy called "It runs in the Family". If you're expecting a great venue, food, professional actors, you may be disappointed. But for $13 with some friends for a laugh, it definitely exceeded our expectations and found it fun and refreshing. Seats aren't terribly comfortable, they only serve soda, coffee and some candy bars and you could find things not to like if you look for them. But the people are incredibly friendly and the actors were sufficiently silly and the audience, including myself and my friends, had a great time. I would suggest taking friends who like to laugh as I could see if being less funny if your with the wrong people. You could do much worse on Saturday night.

Great little venue on the main street. I am a great fan of community theaters, and have driven by this theater a hundred times. It is small and quaint, this year new seats have been installed, which are adding to your confort level. Actors and Staff so very friendly. it is a small venue, and does have snacks available for the time between the acts. If your expecting a dinner theater, this is not advertised as such. However Planks is just up and across the street, as well as a couple of other cafes. Planks, is like the hometown pub with good food, and you can walk to the theater in just two minutes. Good amount of parking for all. I have been a patron at other theaters, in other towns, and this is one that I shall become a sponsor for. It is community theater, and the actors do a great job. As a community theater it rates a 5 star.
