The Harrell Performing Arts Theatre

The Collierville Harrell theater has been offering theatrical performances and entertainment for 29 years. Showcasing many known Productions like The Wizard of Oz Annie & The Hobbit just to name a few. These plays have always been well produced & well casted thanks to their director & his crew who always have kept the show going smoothly. The props & backdrops were were well designed & crafted. The backdrops I found most impressively designed were the backdrops for Wizard of Oz when they were doing the scene with The Munchkins. The props just added a great realism to the scene they were design to be used in. The lighting is fair for a fair for a small town theather as I wouldn't expect the same quality you'd find at the Orpheum or GPAC. Their sound system is adequate & I can hear each performers lines & the music with clarity. As I said kept simple & not sacrifing in the way of ticket prices. Low ticket prices & while keeping great quality in productions is a key to this Performing Arts Center success next to their casting dm& play director. I do admit they could use better seating it offers some decient comfort unlike other places who offer better comfort to enjoy a long production. But let Harrell Theatre wow you with their new production of Steel Magnolis coming in February. Enjoy the show.Be sure to like them on Facebook & tell a friendhttps://www.facebook.com/www.harrelltheatre.org/

I have great memories here for quite a few events and especially for plays that my daughter have performed in or worked back stage My daughter got here paycheck at the age of 8 for her performances as Pippin in the Hobbit, it is still in her old room in a frame We have been to a lot of shows and plays over the years and have seen a huge growth inside and out of the organization. Indeed the productions at the Harrell theatre and we have treasured this venue as intimate and cordial for any type of production. The phrase, "Not a Bad Seat in the House" comes to mind. And the venue often has had some really special talent in their programs over the years which have been truly excellent and community building.

I've been coming here for years. It's better than the high school performances but doesn't have very many shows each year. I try to make shows when I know the people in them or for shows I really want to see, like Monty Python. The seats are comfortable and there's plenty of room. As far as I know all of the plays are family-friendly.
