glendale centre theatre

I have only seen a few productions at this theater, but they were both wonderful.The theater is in the round and there is not a bad seat in the house. It is so intimate its awesome.If you like good musicals go see them here.

I took 13 friends to see last Saturday's matinee of Man of La Mancha at the Glendale Centre Theatre and it was FANTASTIC!!!! The theatre is lovely! Seats are first come-first served - so be there when the doors open an hour before showtime. But don't worry because there's not a bad seat in the house.Aside from the surprisingly lovely theatre, the quality of the production was astonishing!! The voices, the acting, the direction, the choreography, and the overall interpretation of the material - it was SO good I can't imagine it would have been any better had we seen it at the Ahmundson!It's been 30 some years since the first time I saw this musical. And this production brought it all back and then some!!! Do NOT miss this opportunity!My friends were equally impressed - and they're not the musical theater lover that I am. But they so enjoyed the show that there was general agreement that we'll definitely go back for other shows.

My Grandparents took me here to see/enjoy musicals/plays & I've taken my Grandchildren here. Wonderful, little treasure - always was - always will be. Go, take your family & enjoy. Small theatre - big time enjoyment!

Took my grandkids to one of the shows for children. They cater to the kids. Very good experience for all of us

First time attending GCT....with Community Theater you never know what you are going to get. So I booked Man of La Mancha with a little bit of faith --- Wow am I glad I did - What a show - it was tremendous - a lot of fun. Laughs and a few Tears. I was very impressed with the venue (not a bad seat in the house) -- but I was more impressed with the quality of the performance - very Broadway worthy - especially the 3 leads !!! Took my wife and my Teenage son. Yes we were on the younger scale of the average age in the audience - but we had a blast (even my son). After dinner we went to El Morfi - grill and continued our nice Sunday afternoon into evening. Note - the parking structure is opposite the Sears parking structure a little south of the theater. --- Cheap parking with validation and dining options are a block or 2 away --- we will go again --- we have tickets booked for The Christmas Carol.

I have been to this theater many times and this show has been, hands down, the BEST show I have seen there. In all the other shows I have attended there has always been at least one weak performer, but this show had all strong performers, great story line, and very well executed.One thing they could improve is to shorten the owner's opening monologue of announcements. However, it did give me plenty of time to visit the rest room without missing the show!

Came here in October (2013) to see Hairspray the Musical on it's last showing date. Here is just a quick word of advice: You MUST come early for the 1st come 1st serve style seating at this theater. My husband and I arrived 1 hour prior to the show and had no problem redeeming our tickets (purchased on line prior) and heading to the theater room. We sat in the front row on the opposite side of the main entrance. What I liked about this theater is the unique 360 viewing, so really any seat would be good (but of course sitting up closer would be easier than at the very top). One negative of where I sat would have to be that props that the talented actors used throughout the show. There would be times where a chalkboard prop would block part of my viewing and I wouldn't be able to see some of the actors dancing to the beat and such during their number. Overall, the play was excellent and would love to see another excellent musical here again.By the way, it does get rather chilly in the theater, so make sure you bring a coat or sweater.Also, we parked in the lot right next to the theater (this is a lot right behind Porto's... not a bad idea to stop by after or before your show to grab a bite to eat). I believe it is about $0.25 per 15 or 30 minutes (So parking really isn't too bad of a price... but of course free would always be better).

I performed in this theater for many years in the 1980-2000, and consider this my home theater. Theater in the round so there are no bad seats - also has stadium seating. Seating is no further than about 10 rows from the stage. Family owned since it's inception many years ago - the third generation owns it and operates it as the creators had intended. They do lots of musicals, light comedies and children's theater, and are open 52 weeks/year. It was a great place to perform - I got over my initial stage-fright as each show runs about seven weeks. I am so glad I was a part of this for so many years and am so proud of this theater and it's owners.

Enjoy theater "in the round", with lots of opportunities to see the action close up. Glendale Centre Theatre puts on fun, entertaining plays and musicals, that you don't have to worry about taking your kids or your parents to see. It's a kick to have actors right in front of you or singing beside you in the aisle. Like any good theater they create an atmosphere to tell the tale, and with the smaller size of the venue you can't help but feel like part of the action. Very enjoyable!

Had season tickets last year and have renewed for this year. Each play was better than the last. They do an incredible job with a small stage to work with. Looking forward to this season. Always a very enjoyable evening in Glendale.

have great comedy and musical plays. The price is right for the great quality of actors who perform. Have the whole year [planned so you can plan well in advance.

I went to the 9:30 pm New Years show so that I could ring in the New Year with a smile. The play was, as always, very well done - lots of laughs and some tears here and there. During the intermission, there were delicious snacks, hot cider, and coffee and tea. After the play, there was music and dancing. It was a very pleasant way to bring in 2014!

My first experience at the Glendale Center Theater was as a teen on a first date. I enjoyed the live "theatre in the round" and have gone back many times since. I has been established in Glendale for over 40 years that I know of, perhaps longer. The quality of the performances is outstanding. All seats have a great view. They perform several different shows per year, usually a few comedies and children's shows thrown in the mix. For a special treat, visit in December for their annual "A Christmas Carol". Definitely a highlight of the holiday season!

If you enjoy live theater and you can leave your cell phone life for 2 hours, then this place is for you! There are no bad seats in this stage in the round theater. Plenty of leg room, fresh baked cookies at the front concession stand and lots of friendly employees in the house. This is a family run theater that rivals the big houses. I have seen many productions here and have enjoyed them all. They also have children's theater on Saturday afternoons. Support live theater and visit this amazing venue. They will be doing a production of Hairspray in August. Do not miss it.

Every seat is a great seat. For a local theater company this is a great venue to see some classics. Come early for good parking and lots of local eateries
