At night
What better way to wrap up a Saturday than by seeing my friend Chuck Eaton on stage? As a pirate!

We really enjoyed the production of Holmes/Poirot. Finely acted and entertaining until the end, even my husband couldn't stop telling people about the play.We parked on the street and ate lunch at Wrecktangle. There are a few food options close by.Very happy with the seats too.

I saw Pride and Prejudice here last night. First time I have seen a play here. What a lovely theatre. It was small, intimate. Not a bad seat in the house. The play was creative, funny, and very well done. I liked how open the stage was, where you could see the sets and actors getting ready to 'enter stage right'. The cast was diverse and talented. I never get tired of Pride and Prejudice and strong female characters like Elizabeth Bennett (spoiler alert--she ends up with Mr Darcy). They definitely took the quirkinesses of the characters to an extreme that was laugh-out-loud funny. I ordered tickets online and that was easy with no issues. I liked the fact that I only needed one ticket for both seats. After the play, they had a party that had quite the spread of food. I don't think that happens after every play but it was a nice surprise. We parked in the Science Museum lot and walked over so not sure about parking near the theatre. I'll definitely be back for a future play.

Park Square Theater is one of those places you can drive by and never notice. But you should. This hidden gem is located in downtown St. Paul, only a long block and a half away from the Ordway. The entrance is in a little pedestrian-only street, surrounded by restaurants and retail stores. While there isn't a dedicated parking I could see, there is ample street or garage parking within a few minutes' walk. Once you get on the bricked street, the marquee makes the entrance easy to spot.Park Square is a small theater in the best sense of the word. The lobby is simple and straightforward, with enough flexibility to arrange as needed for whatever is needed. There are a few tables and chairs to recline, but be prepared to spill out onto the side walk if you and your twenty closest friends want to wait around after the show. Concessions offer a limited but creative menu. The interior of the theater is not large, creating a sense of intimacy with the stage and performers without feeling squished. The stage itself isn't large either but with creative planning can be more than adequate.Buying tickets online was simple and easy, though the ushers manually checking each ticket off the list (by name!) did back up the line a little. Not a huge wait, however. Definitely recommended of there's a show you want to see there. A good expert without being overwhelmed, simple and straightforward theater.

Blink and you will miss it, Park Square Theater is a nice little theater located right in downtown St.Paul. Close to many iconic landmarks and restaurants, you can really make it a night on the town. We came to see Triple Espresso while it was playing here. Theater lobby is basic but still looks nice. No large chandeliers, gold printed wallpaper, etc. It reminded me more of something you would see at a small local coffee shop for decor, which isn't a bad thing. We were in the box theater which held a fair amount of people and put on a good production and show. There is a small bar onsite to quench your thirst if you need. Concessions isn't too advanced so don't expect much. It isn't that big of a deal though since lots of good places to eat are minutes away. Ticket prices are reasonable and the shows have always been entertaining. Nice change of scenery and pace at times to go into St. Paul instead of Minneapolis and one of the bigger productions found there from time to time.

The theater is small and intimate. No seat is a bad seat. You'll have a great view no matter where you are inside the theater. The service was decent. People weren't exactly friendly, but also weren't rude. The entrance was a bit deceptive. Yep, that's the entrance. Keep going. Since it's downtown St. Paul, parking can be challenging. Especially if there is another event going on downtown during the same time . The show was great show! The theater was well maintained. The restroom was clean. I would recommend checking out a show here if given the opportunity.

If this theater was easier to find, I'd say that I had a better time than I have. I wish I didn't have to spend more time looking for the theater itself than watching the production (or so it feel like it). I feel more like I'm walking through a maze than walking directly to a theater. I've never had to deal with this inconvenience just to see a production. I've seen a few of them in this theater, and I still find myself battling this maze no matter what I do! The theater itself isn't nearly as bad as I make it out to be in the first paragraph. For being a small theater, they put decent productions. I've had some fun watching what the theater comes up with for us. However, the customer service is so-and-so. Some people are friendly and helpful. Others seem like they could careless and just want to brush off people. In the future, I'll only come back if the play that I want to see is really that good.

Without a doubt my favorite theatre. I have seen several performances at both of their stages and have yet to see one that does not have me in stitches by the end. Their productions are a unique and refreshing take on how theatre should be.The concessions are admittedly small, but who goes to a theatre for the food anyway? There is no dedicated parking, but there is a lot and a ramp less than a block away, easy distance even in the worst of weather, and it is surrounded by excellent restaurants to dine at before (or after) the show.Give this place a try, I promise you won't regret it.

On a beautiful spring day, I decided to walk down to purchase tickets for an upcoming performance instead of online. Unfortunately the box office is closed on Monday's, although the website says Monday - Friday 12-5pm. I spoke with a very friendly staff member who was conveying messages from a not so friendly staff member in the ticket office that they wouldn't be able to help me until tomorrow. It was a little disappointing the ticket office couldn't help me since I was standing right there. Hopefully the website is updated soon to more clearly reflect the hours the ticket office wants to hold. Still, I'm looking forward to the show. If I can get tickets that is!

Tiny Gem! This newly renovated theatre has all the intimate charm of the original nostalgia of genuine theater. Conveniently located on 7th Place in downtown Saint Paul, with restaurants and parking within a block. The tickets are available electronically and seating is fantastic- not a bad seat in the house. They offer concessions and alcohol/non alcoholic beverages. Find a show and visit!

Local theater doesn't get any better than this. We saw Pride and Prejudice and couldn't believe the creative and fun rendition of this classic. Support local theater, support Park Square! I love this theater.
