I love attending plays at the Dock Street Theatre. The building is a piece of history. I feel that because it's a small theatre, you can get very engrossed in the stage action. The courtyard is a nice area to have a drink before the performance. Staff are friendly and helpful. I have attended plays at Dock Street several times and the theatre never disappoints!

Top notch show, Kinky Boots! So much fun. The amount of talent on that stage was better than Hollywood and the theater was beautiful. Very fair ticket prices. Every seat is worth the money.

Amazing time touring the theater while in town. The older couple that greeted us at the door and eventually lead our tour were an absolute delight. We really enjoyed speaking with them and feel like we made some new friends. Hope to bump into them next time their down here in Florida. Beautiful theatre full of history.

Overall: A great theatre experience. We'll be back for sure! The good: First time at the theatre and we loved it (Murder on the Orient Express). The actors were great and the charm of the theatre really shows. We had an "obstructed" view in the balcony but there was only one corner of the stage we couldn't see, and it seemed like the production knew to utilize the center of the stage to minimize that issue. Production value itself exceeded our expectations, given the size of the theater. The size of the stage is a lot bigger than it looks, and the costuming/props were great (given the surely limited budget). Ushers and ticket checkers were friendly, and the bathrooms were clean. The not-so-good: The chairs in the balconies are not comfortable. I know that it's the oldest theatre in the US, but these chairs aren't from back then. After 2 hours, it starts to really bug you. That's about it though.
