Julia Morgan Theater

Great local theatre performances here! We saw Matilda Jr. here yesterday. Large roomy vintage theatre. Parking can be a problem so plan to come early.

Took some quality time to go see creative live Theater magic with my littlest. Grease was the name of the Show as it was their closing evening.Everyone performing was talented to say the very least! So impressed with the local theater.Down side is that prices are fairly high compare to other local community theaters. And where it is located, I would recommend you read street parking signs very carefully as most are reserved for residents in the area with a special sticker if not you may best parking further in non restricted streets and avoid a parking ticket-fines.The seats are fairly decent with good views unless you are only 5'2" like me and happened to have a 6' tall folk sat right in front of me. Thankfully I approached the staff and was moved to a different seat. This only was possible because the back rows were empty. For younger school age children I do see a stacked booster seats available for use.The restrooms were cleaned and bright.The snack concessions offered cheese or pepperoni pizzas from a nearby pizza joint...sadly it was not fresh looking or cheesy..Other snacks included brownies, cupcakes and some packaged salted nuts that I can remember. Concession Pricing was not damaging to the wallet thank goodness. Coffee bottled water also available for purchase.No photography or lights or recording!

A beautiful, historic, wonderful venue to see a show. So gorgeous - all that wood (love Julia Morgan stuff) - and great acoustics. Music, dance, small troupes, local artists - and rare international acts. All here.How I miss my Biz-erkeley Daze!

Went here to see our niece perform in "The Nutcracker". The venue is quaint, cute and intimate. Hard to believe - living in the East Bay all my life - that I haven't been here before.The performance of "The Nutcracker" (especially the performance of our niece) was great and the sound was pretty good. While I like to think I'm edumacated and am privy to culture, that's not so much the case. I'm sure I could benefit from going to the theater much more often. The Julia Morgan Theater makes me want to go see more plays - I've bookmarked the theaters website and I'll be checking out the possibility of seeing some shows.Watch out - if you see me at a Yelp event, I may be spittin' some raw rap about the Arts!

We just saw the Addams family musical. It was done amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed it with my daughter. We haven't been out to see a play since we moved from Vegas, this one was off the charts.Great actors worthy props, and live orchestra. Continue doing what you do Julia Theatre!! You guys Rock. Thanks again for the great production!

It's an intimate setting, perfect for smaller productions that don't require large set pieces or huge casts. It sort of reminds me of the theater at my university, it's in an older building that's well maintained but does show it's age a bit, the acoustics are decent, the seats are adequate (if a little creaky, which, in a space that size can be kind of embarrassing). The bathrooms feel a lot like old public school bathrooms (with out the gross smells, thankfully), but they are clean and well stocked. The staff was friendly and helpful, it always makes an experience that much nicer when the staff remembers how to smile!Outside the theater they have a nice little seating area with benches where you can hang out while you are waiting for your show to begin.

I saw Urinetown there last weekend and I just saw Footloose yesterday and both were AMAZING! The theater is always in great shape, and the snacks sold at the concession stand are reasonably priced. The house was sold out for both Urinetown and Footloose and as usual, I had a great time.Still 5 stars.

Awesome venue for casual theater. I suggest going anytime but daytime during the Summer. They seem to lack AC, which made a recent experience very, very drowsy. Also plan extra time to get there, the surrounding streets are quaint but single lane and full of pedestrians during peak times.

I've only been and performed in dance shows and performances here. Performed a couple of times every semester for 3 years when I was a CAL student. It definitely isn't an ideal venue to have hip hop/jazz/swing groups dancing. Our groups were too big for the stage so we had to squooosh, and it didn't make the performances look as good as they should look like how we would be in Zellerbach playhouse. We had few technical difficulties with the music with the equipment because whenever someone or a move would stomp on the stage, the music would skip. If someone in the practice room downstairs stomped, the music would skip upstairs. So it is a very sensitive place, we had to beware of our steps. There is a cute makeup/hair dressing room lit place though in the back.I do agree though with other yelpers.. it is a very intimate place to have performances which can be nice!! The place is very old though, maybe some renovations would definitely make the place better!

Small theater with a super friendly staff. Production was cute. Great place for adults and the kids. Saw Cinderella
