Cabrillo Playhouse

Nice little place for intimate concerts. I went to see a friend play tonight, Gal Musette. The sound was great. Ticket prices reasonable. Staff friendly. Reaching the box office may be a bit difficult if you are looking for precise information. Otherwise, the web site should answer the most important questions. Parking is a bit of a struggle in San Clemente. Budget some parking time. If you wish to eat before or after, there are plenty of choices. However, count on crowding and more expensive prices. No fast food nearby, unless you count the 711 a few blocks away. Budget for food too, if you want to have that be part of the experience.

Play-on was a really fun and entertaining show. You feel like you get a behind the scenes experience and get to know the characters on a different level. The most entertaining and fun experience I've had watching live theater.

We are season ticket holders: $100. for the seasson. Individ plays cost around $30. Small community theater. Seats are a bit tight, a tad uncomfortable, only cuz hubs has had several back surgeries, and we 'ain't young, anymore - next time we'll bring our Costco Memory foam chair pad. We've been here several times. Everyone, the lady at the desk, the actors, the people on the deck, pouring wine - were all cheerful. Had dinner at Nick's, San Clemente. DON'T make u turns in the middle of the street on Avenida Del Mar when u see a pkg spot - unless you want to take a chance on getting a ticket, there's usually a cop nearby.! AND small signs posted saying NO U-Turns! Parking can be an issue near the theater. Street pkg, but you are in a neighborhood.So if you don't mind waiting around 5-10 minutes, someone may pull out. Plan to get to theater at least 30 -45 minutes early!! We found pkg about a block away in a very small FREE parking lot. Glad we had flashlight on cell phone. Needed to light our way after the play to walk back to car. Walked in street, not many sidewalks. Watched Light in the Piaza Fun, funny play.

Very small quaint community theater. Lovely deck for drinks, snacks and conversation. Saw Steele Magnolias there. Not Broadway worthy but darn good for community theater. I'm not a cryer but I was for that show. For me, the seats weren't as comfy as I'd like ...they weren't bad but not the seats you find in a newer theater. But for the price this place is a GREAT value!!!
