Water Tower Theatre

Under the radar gem. I've been impressed w staging, production, and actors every time I've been here. One of the best in dfw. Beautiful building with a small (200ish) crowd and excellent seats.

Upon arrival you walk in there is a box office for the main theater then a guy sitting on the Side for the smaller theatre some signs would be nice to direct you accordingly but other than that was a very pleasant experience. The xmas play we saw was for 18 and up and it did not disappoint! Definitely will be back to check out what other plays they have. They have a small bar and variety of snacks to choose from!

My wife got some free tickets to a play so we figured why not. We have never been to this location and it was pretty easy to find. The only confusion was there were other plays and our tickets were on a side table. The man that greeted us was friendly and checked us in quickly. He offered simple snacks for purchase and some canned sodas and waters. There was a bar as well, you can preorder for intermission so you dont wait in line very convenient. The play we saw was "The Burlesqe Nutcracker" which was a edgy twist of the classic play. The play was funny and interesting. Drinks prices were affordable and snacks were as well. We will certainly look into upcoming plays.

This is the second time that I have been to water tower theater. The first time was many years ago and I went to see Into The Woods. Tonight we went to see The Big Meal.The theater itself is beautiful. It's small but very nice. The staff is very friendly and happy to help you with anything that you need. The seats are nice and comfortable with plenty of room. You can tell the theater puts a lot of work and money into each production. Everything is always very professional.The Big Meal is definitely not my favorite play, but they did a very good job with the production. The actors were great. The sets were simple but nice. Overall it was a very good production. We had a really nice time and enjoyed ourselves even though the play itself was very depressing.I will definitely go here whenever I have the chance. They do a terrific job.

Small local theater in Addison. Average facilities but a enjoyable experience and great option close by for community.

I love seeing plays here. I highly recommend people seeing the latest play that is playing there called " Slave letters" . Very eye opening, emotional , intense and historical accurate.

Water Tower is definitely one of my favorite Dallas theaters. I used to usher at theaters all over town, so that I could see free shows, and Water Tower always had some of the best performances (and coolest sets).I live in east Dallas, so the drive to Addison is probably my least favorite thing about Water Tower Theater. That being said, it is a very cool part of Addison. It's right next to a large park, and there are several good restaurants within walking distance.The space itself (I'm referring to the main theater now) is very versatile. Sometimes the seats are at one end on the theater, sometimes they're at the other, and sometimes they have a more creative arrangement. The seats are always tiered, though, so you don't have to worry about the head of the person in front of you. When I ushered there, I was always eager to peak in and see what they'd done with the space, which brings me to my next point...Water Tower creates some of the coolest sets I've seen at any local theater. One that stands out in my head was an outdoor garden that filled the middle of the theater (with seats on either side). And, although I didn't see the show itself, I once stuck my head in while I was there for a show at the studio theater, and they had an amazing bayou set.The performances at Water Tower are of a consistent high quality. Musicals, especially, always have amazing talent in them, but the acting in the straight plays is good too.If you're looking for something other than the big touring shows that come through at the Music Hall or Winspear, Water Tower is definitely worth checking out. Support our local talent, and see a great show.And, if you're looking for something even smaller, check out a show in the studio theater; it's a great little space. There are only about 5 rows of seating, so you'll always have a great seat.

We have just enjoyed two extraordinary weekends of theater at WTT! Violet two weeks ago and A Feminine Ending last weekend. This is the BEST of BEST in local theater! The Out of the Loop Festival is coming up in March! Check out the website if you enjoy theater. This festival is chocked full of interesting plays for two weeks! The one we are most interested in is the Star Wars Trilogy one man show. He performs all three movies in a one hour show. It sounds right up our alley! As a cat fancier, I'm also looking forward to the play in May called Indoor/Outdoor about a cat with issues. It looks very cute and I can't wait to see it! This theater puts on such wonderful plays! Sugar Bear and I have already decided to get season tickets for next year so we don't miss anything!

I just got home from seeing the Guys n' Dolls. I saw something on Yelp about it and got some friends and a picnic together. We had no idea what we were getting into! It was seriously fun, and we're totally planning on going to more of their shows.The staging and lighting were good, especially for being in a park! The talent was terrific. They had the Wind Orchestra supporting them and they were stellar. I would highly suggest getting to anything that's in the out of doors early and bringing either chairs or a blanket. I read some information on their website and packed food and was really glad I did. It's bring your own everything, so make it a party!

I have a ton of other places on my "to yelp" list but I have to move Water Tower Theater up the list because I had a phenomenal experience. The BF, close friend and I watched Spring Awakening at The Water Tower yesterday afternoon and it was fantastic. The stage was low and in the center and the seating was perfect for this musical. You had a great view no matter where you sat. The talent for this production was fantastic for the low ticket prices ($45 a ticket), the theater itself is modern and elegant and the staff was so helpful and friendly. Even though there was another event going on near the area, parking was doable and get this...free! I'm so used to having to pay ridiculous fees to park for an event downtown that I was so happy to park free here. I loved Spring Awakening so much that I was ready to buy tickets for another show but they are all sold out! This is another great addition to the city of Addison!
