Academy Playhouse

A very intimate venue to see wonderful theatre!

The theater is small, which lends intimacy to the productions, between audience and cast. This was ideal for "American Idiot". As a practical matter, more restroom facilities are needed, if only a few more portable latrines outdoors. The one-at-a-time indoor bathrooms make for an overly-long intermission.

We came to see American Idiot and it was fantastic! Can’t wait to see more plays here! The set was so unique and everyone was very friendly.

Oklahoma played to a standing room only crowd last night. The actors made great use of a small space. The show is fun with a very entertaining cast who clearly love putting on this show together. Trio of musicians with keyboard, cello and drums were excellent. Standouts were Ado Annie, Will, the Peddler, and Aunt Eller. Muti- generational cast makes this a perfect show for families.

A totally unique Summer Theater that is an exceptionally intimate venue. The Actors bring their sincere passion to every scene. Delightful experience!!

Went to see Mary Poppins. It was incredible! I liked it better than the movie. The cast is amazing. The Banks make a great dynamic, Mary Poppins is of course amazing. Beautiful and a true star. Burt was phenomenal. Beside being a narrator of sorts, I think Burt stole the show with his spot on British accent, and perfect demeanor. All in all, I loved it!

Enjoyed "Sweater Worthy" a one woman show by Aimee Vient last weekend. This was an intimate presentation using knitting as the primary tool in exploring recent events in the actor's life. Perfect venue for this!

This was my first visit to the Academy Playhouse located on Main Street in Orleans. It is a great local theater with local talent in the cast. It's certainly worth an evening if you are in the area. The intimate venue assures that any seat will be a good one and make you feel like part of the show. Also plenty of onsite parking. Enjoy!!!
