The Playhouse

For several years, the theatre company Poor Richard's Players has not had a home of their own. Now they do and it's called The Playhouse.Located on Decatur Boulevard near Arizona Charlies, the Playhouse is a space in progress as pointed out last night by one of the company's founders. The space can be configured in any number of ways, and I look forward to seeing future shows of PRP and see how the directors choose to use the space.For the inaugural show, they are doing Lizzie the Musical, a musical about Lizzie Borden. There are four very talented women who do the roles and there ism a wonderful live band which is great!I'd recommend this theatre company to anyone. They do good work. And, I'm glad they have a home of their own, the Playhouse!

This theatre is a treasure for performing arts in Las Vegas. It's nestled in the parking lot shopping mall area near Arizona Charlie's. When you enter the theatre you immediately feel at home and welcomed. It's like walking into a model home that you feel like you could take your shoes off in and snuggle up on the couch, as it's really nice, clean, and sheike, but also adorned with art from past shows and an atmosphere that is full of community. The theatre company, Poor Richard's Players, that owns the theatre, always puts on quality shows that have care, talented actors, creativity, stunning and thoughtful sets, great sound, and on point tech. All their productions are professional and unassuming. And they are well known in the local theatre community as they have won Best in Fringe at the Las Vegas Fringe Festival several years in a row. Their inaugural show for the theatre, Lizzie the Musical, was very well done with a full live band, a stunning set, a fog machine, creative lighting effects, and a killer cast. Even the lobby and entrance were adorned for the show so your experience started the second you walked in the door. From what I saw, the theatre is in the style of a black box theatre, an open space area that can be manipulated to accommodate a variety of audience and stage configurations with black walls. The ceiling is a beautiful open beam ceiling with string lights that illuminate the house when needed. They have a small lobby area, ticket booth, enclosed tech booth area, and restroom. It also has green rooms, costume room, workshop room, and more. I'm excited to see future productions in this space as it's obvious a lot of thought and care goes into what they produce and everything is tastefully done.

Lizzie the Musical -- talent was AMAZING!!! Great place for a play. Please, Support local theater!

I saw "Dance Nation" at the Playhouse and I was impressed with both the performances and the space. I somehow made a mistake and bought tickets for the wrong performance and I sent a email message asking for a call back to fix my mistake. I received the call within minutes. I couldn't have asked for more and really appreciate the patience and kindness from the staff.The space was comfortable and it looks like the performance area can be reconfigured for different purposes. The Playhouse and The Lab staff are passionate about the arts and it shows in how they interact with the guests and how they work with their artists.I'm excited to check out the rest of their season!
