Theatre Jacksonville

If you're looking for something to do with a business that supports Covid precautions, get to theater Jacksonville. Their current production of "guess who's coming to dinner" is outstanding! The actors and volunteers have put a lot of effort to create a show that is uplifting, moving, and thought-provoking. It demonstrates where we are today and where we have come from. I cannot brag enough about the actors and the phenomenal job they do for the richness of their performance and the ownership over their roles is inspiring!!

My family and I love this little theatre. I have been going on my own or with friends sporadically for several years and have enjoyed every show I've seen. My favorite was probably Pride and Please, but the reading of Peter Pan was amazing. They might be equally my favorite. Once my Spawn started participating in the summer camp a few years ago we are there once a quarter if not more to attend a show or one of my spawn is participating in the show in some way. Over the summer one of us is there daily! We often eat at one of the restaurants near by and make a full day of it. Linner (think brunch, but later), Show, Dessert! Spawn #1 has enjoyed being a camp counselor, stage manager, and helping out in anyway possible for camp, Jr. shows and regular season shows.Spawn #2 has enjoyed 3 sessions of summer camp and participating in a Jr. show. The Education Director, Ron, is amazing. Based on everything I've seen, he truly loves what he does. He cares for the kids and brings so much joy into a room. My Spawn ADORE him.If Rob is involved and my Spawn want to participate I would not hesitate to let them.

I had the privilege to attend a show from a friend who was volunteering. As I had not even heard of the show or ever attended the theatre I looked forward to seeing the play as it was about our History. As I walked in everyone was friendly in the lobby.The house it self was a bit narrow but long. The stage set up reminded me that of Hamilton and that excited me. The seats seemed a bit cozy especially for those of us who are a bit larger than usual so I moved to the back a bit. They do offer a concession stand with drinks. The play I could tell took dedication of the ones who took a part as the lines were challenging but it was riveting.I have always been a fan of community theatre and that is why I love Jacksonville and I found the location of this theatre was nice as it was close to a Starbucks and a lot of places to eat. I would defiantly like to return again.

I have been this this venue twice this year and enjoyed each visit. I went earlier to see Peter Pan and most recently for Someone Rotten. The theater itself is a little dated but it also helps add to the charm. The worst part is that parking in San Marco is a nightmare. I've tried getting there an hour and a half before the show time and still had trouble finding parking.

Community theater at its finest! I had the privelage to volunteer as a Assistant Costume Designer for the Little Mermaid production this past season. I was absolutely amazed at the level of commitment and professionalism everyone brought to the table. The time and dedication it takes to put on such a major production was certainly noticeable, when I got to enjoy the opening night. The music and dancing were phenomenal , and the actor were both talented and funny. I was instantly swept under the sea and taken back to my childhood when watching them all perform on stage... Not to mention how AWESOME, CREATIVE, DRAMATIC, and simply MAGNIFICENT the costumes were. ( Yes I am a little bias here.. But trust me this is no understatement!)I love the location of this theater. It perfectly tucked at the end of San Marco square. (Not to be confused with the San Marco theater.) You can enjoy an nice meal before their plays and a quick cocktail afterward. And everything is in perfect walking distance. I would highly recommend you check out the next play. You would be totally amazed and completely enjoy the night.

Great little community theatre, the staff was great and there really is no bad seat overall for a viewing experience. there is no parking so you will need to plan for that aspect for the area businesses has a lot of posted no parking signs around. should note there was no food or drink service. we saw Samuel j Comre and he was awesome!! we would gladly go back to see him or other comedians.

This little theater has been operating consistently for, I believe, 97 seasons. Its not the flashiest in the world, but they perform solid productions with gorgeous sets and their cast is always on point by opening night. We recently saw "the God Game" here and despite the 3-member cast, it was a timely production, culturally relevant, and riveting. I don't know if it's worth the ticket price, but I did appreciate the cleanliness of the theatre and the polite demeanor of the all-volunteer staff. This is definitely a "support local" kind of place, and if they have a show you're interested in, you should give it a chance. They really put their heart into these performances and the theatre is assuredly a historic piece of Jacksonville.

Great venue and even better performance. The cast was awesome and the costumes really bought the characters to life. I'll definitely continue supporting the arts in San Marco!!!!

Attended my first show here which was the Mad Cowford Improv. This is quite the neat, little theatre in San Marco. The show itself was great and I think that this place would be the perfect venue for their act instead of downtown. Parking can be a challenge but if you get there early enough you should be able to get relatively close to the venue.

This is not a big typical theater. It is a small community theater with great, attentive staff. There are food places surrounding the theater but not much inside the theater itself. There are restrictions on food that you can bring inside so finish the food before going in.Parking is also an issue. There are only street parking so be prepare to walk.
