Murder For Two- BRILLIANT! If you like theater, you will LOVE this play. Tony Houck is insane, absolutely insane (in a good way). He is a modern day Jerry Lewis, so so funny. GREAT JOB! JD Dumas was also amazing. Go see for yourself! I love this tiny theater, have never seen a bad play here.
This is a fantastic 99 seat theater - they have wonderful, professional production quality. And good choice of plays. And an amazing New Works Festival. Plus the neighborhood is fun to walk around. Worth hunting for parking.
Great place to see a live show with many places to eat, drink or visit being in the heart of Carlsbad village.. being literally across the street from transit center it has plenty of parking and opportunity to take the Coaster if you dont want to drive.
We saw Murder for Two performed by 2 very skilled actors. It is an excellent small theatre setting that we thoroughly enjoyed.
Wonderful, community theatre - both audience & cast enjoy performances. Shows are interesting & entertaining. Will definitely return. House staff outgoing & informative. Great experience.
New Village Arts production of Around the World in 80 Days is fantastic. We took a group of 68 6th graders and they loved it. Great job. Such a fun pre-holiday treat.
Dont miss Little Shop of Horrors this summer! Havent laughed that hard in a long time. Venue is cozy and everyone is so friendly. Conveniently located next to Handels ice cream for a scoop before or after the show. Performers are TOP NOTCH, stage/costumes amazing. Worth every penny!
Small, intimate, very friendly staff, both plays i have seen were very good
Loved Little Shop of Horrors when I saw it here! The theater could be considered more on the smaller side, but I would rather call it intimate because of how immersive the musical was. Had a very fun time and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the show, cant wait to return for another play or just to see more of the arts that they host.
Dont miss Intimate Apparel! Show closes next week! Great story, well acted, beautiful staging, and excellent direction.
Quaint theater in Carlsbad connected to an art studio. Seats are comfy and clean. Not large, so buy tickets early if you can. Crowd arrives a little late and can be a bit noisy, but settles down quickly when the entertainment starts. Great for a nice night out with friends.
This was a fabulous little theatre. Our first time there! We absolutely loved it and the show, Little Shop Of Horrors. The cast was outstanding! Can’t wait to go back! ️️️️️️️️️
Our Auntie loved attending the theatre. It was wonderful!
Small and Charming theater. Location is within walking distance of train and many, many restaurants. The Productions are always worth seeing!
As usual, great cast and imaginative staging.
Was in town and saw Avenue Q. Very talented performers in a cool, art studio setting. Venue was charming, comfortable, and the live music outstanding. We uncovered a jewel. Completed our trip in a wonderful way. Dont miss it!
My wife and I have been attending NVA for the past 10 years. we feel its important to support live theater and the wonderful acting and the plays produced at this small venue have been rewarding not to mention entertaining.the talent in San Diego is most impressive. we are always amazed at the abilities of those behind the scenes who create the incredible sets for this intimate environment. it is a magnificent group of staff and actors that we have been privileged to watch over the years and strongly recommend people support their efforts.
Ive seen many community theatre productions in the San Diego area and the performance of Oklahoma I saw here was by far the best. Wonderfully professional and entertaining. The theatre has been remodeled and is very clean and comfortable. Everyone from the people who gave us our tickets to the ushers were extremely kind and welcoming.I wish they had better information about parking on the website. We were coming from San Diego and do not know the area. We figured it out, but it would be nice to have the information ahead of time.
It is a small intimate theater in Carlsbad. They do all different types of shows. They have many talented people that are the actors,directors,singers,live orchestra etc. They also have an area called The Foundry. Many artists create as well as show their expertise there,and available to buy. If youve never gone to the New Village Arts,give it a try. Enjoy!
Love the production values of this small and very professional theater. Its art at its raw core. the stage is the palette of the artists who we are fortunate enough to watch thier vision come alive. A true ensemble of talented directors, actors, backstage coordinators, musicians and the good people who manage the theater come together to bring us an experience thats not to be missed. And be sure to check out the artists loft located in the front of the theater, watch top notch local and international artists at work and pick up a painting allwhile enjoying the charm of Carlsbad Village. Ciao!
Love this venue. Weve attended numerous performances here and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Do yourself a favor and plan to see a future show here.
Last night, I took my elderly mother and two adult sons to see the Carlsbad, CA, production of Oklahoma. The show was marvelous! The entire cast was great and believable. Especially impressive was the singing. All were wonderfully trained singers, with perfect intonation and each had great vibrato. It really wouldnt be fair to mention one or two, as all were outstanding. This live production was so much more enjoyable than any Hollywood film. The theatre, as I understand it, is newly remodeled and is intimate----not a bad seat in the house. As a classically trained professional musician myself, who has played in hundreds of major Los Angeless professional productions, I can say that last nights performance was on par with any production at any venue in the Los Angeles area. Do yourself a favor by attending an afternoon or evening performance of Carlsbads production of Oklahoma. Youll be glad you did! David
