community theatre of terre haute

Productions are usually well done with a talented cast. They are not professionals but are experienced actors. The seating is moderately comfortable, and the first row will make you feel you are part of the cast.The entrance/lobby is really nice with enough to read/see to keep you occupied until the performance starts. Normally you can call and reserve a ticket then pay when you pick up the ticket. This feature is really appreciated. And credit cards are accepted. Soft drinks and candy is available during intermissions.

My husband and I were enjoying the theater until after the play ended and an usher called my name and told us that our car had been towed away. We were stunned, it didn't make any sense.When we arrived at the theater, looking for a place to park, we passed by driveways and parallel parked in front of a house. It had snowed a few days before. I stepped out onto what I believed was a curb with a nice pile of snow from a city snowplow. There was no indication a driveway was there, nothing plowed, no tracks, no cars. The neighborhood is partly residential. We learned that towing during performances is fairly common. There was another lady who had parked in front of a fire hydrant and since the theater ushers knew her and saw her daughter come out during the performance, she was able to get her car moved before being towed. We were told that the 2nd act had started as our car was being towed and other than interrupt the play, there was nothing they could do. They had no idea where we were seated. After the play we went out to see this "driveway". It was a small patch of gravel just big enough for one car, Just a parking pad in front of the house, not possible to notice in the snow. The usher was nice enough to give us a ride home. Unfortunately, since it was a weekend and the police department was closed, we were not able to get the car back until Monday morning. My husband had to take time off of work and we had to go to the police department, pay a fee and then go to the towing yard and pay again. We wasted hours of our time and money, so unfortunately, we did not have a good experience at the theater.

I find that watching amateur actors should not cost as much as seeing professionals. This place is a great community resource but for most of us, out of our pricerange to attend on a regular basis.

Spend the money and go to a show. They are great and fun. Small Theatre so you can see well and no sound issues. Nice bathrooms and handicap friendly. Ticket packages are available.Refreshments also available.
