This is the theatre on the campus of UCF. I stopped in to see a play that my dear friend was Directing, a one act called«The Woods», it was part of their 10th anniversary celebration. At no cost, I was surprised by their quality! Quite possibly one of the best student plays I’ve had the pleasure of seeing. But this review isn’t about the play. it really is about the theatre, isn’t it? Well, it’s in an old lecture hall, so the seats are large, the rows are comfortable with plenty of leg room. The stage is wide and the lighting, while at times, oddly places, is both sufficient and efficient. The sound quality(acoustics) was quite pleasant as was the atmosphere of the lobby and box office area. The bathrooms, while dated, offered something you don’t see in most bathrooms. Ledges on which to place your purse and a hook. No need to place your purse on the nasty floor! Kudos! I was quite pleased with my experience here.

We saw Shipwrecked! at the Black Box Theater at UCF. The show was very intimate– probably 100 people total in the audience– which allowed for a fun and interactive show experience. The play itself was engaging and well-done. We’re considering buying season tickets next year.

My husband was searching for a local production of Spring Awakening and stumbled upon Theatre UCF. I went to school at UCF many years ago and never once saw a production. At $ 20 a person for non-students, it is a good value. The performers are student actors with an occasional professional actor. We saw Les Liaisons Dangereuses(Dangerous Liasons). There is plenty of space between rows so no one has to squeeze by. No food or drink is allowed in the theater. The quality of the acting was very good. If you are looking for an affordable alternative to Bob Carr, you might be pleased.
