Wow, all I can say is this little hidden gem is worth a visit. I went with a group of friends to see the Christmas Carol and it was such a great experience. While this is a very small venue, the talent was excellent and entertaining! I was amazed what they were able to do in the small space they had to work with. If you like an intimate theater experience, I highly recommend this theater!
I have been driving past this place for years, and had no clue what was going on inside. I saw Heisenberg in the Fall and Shakepeares Heroines last night, and my partner and I have been impressed. This is professional theatre - in walking distance! Its done up nice inside too. Very cozy. The price was right too! So far, amazing!
I just got back from A Dolls House, Part Two. And I just have to say Wow! Everything about it was stellar. The cast was top notch! After seeing an amateur production of the same play, I can tell you I learned my lesson. Professional theater is worth it. Even the set and costumes were expert in every way. Truly stunning! A+
The building is very shabby and obviously a old gas station or used car dealership. The theater may hold 25 people at best. The host and staff are friendly and courteous but the cost of admission for the play I saw was a robbery. The actors did their best but the script left a lot to be desired. I recommend going to the palace and spend a few extra dollars for something of more value and quality.
A wonderful, intimate little theater. The actors really put their all into every performance, and the production value is impressive in such a small space. It feels great to support local art and watch such talented people perform.
Wonderful, intellectual, highly professional local theater. What a luxury to have it. Beig new to Columbus I just recently discovered it, and have seen two plays, so far. Both were high class serious performances. I am just not sure why only the older audience enjoys it. I would think that the OSU students would be interested. May be they need to be reached?
I have been to at least ten productions at the Civic, and every has been amazing. The best acting Ive seen anywhere in central Ohio. Truly Outstanding. The interior of the theater is cozy with statium seating -- where else do you find that?
Intimate venue with shows you wont get to see anywhere else in Columbus.
Just came from seeing “Venus in Fur “ . The acting was truly superb ! Bravo to Ella Palardi and Eric C. Bobbitt ! And Bravo to playwright David Ives ! There is still time to see this play as it will be performed next weekend as well. I highly recommend it ! Very thought provoking, humorous and entertaining !If you are not taking advantage of Columbus Civic Theater you are missing a truly wonderful community asset !
Bigger than it looks from the outside and stuffed full of people having a good time.
Intimate local theatre. Great actors and good value. A fun evening
Great performances by quality actors. Theater is minimalist but staff and volunteers are committed!
Ive only been here once. It was decent.
Great production! Very small theater, get there early to get a good seat. A neighborhood gem.
A small house, intimate. I love feeling like Im part of the action. The actors were fabulous as well, bringing a difficult Shakespeare piece to life. Would be great acoustics for music as well.
A wonderful, intimate venue showcasing some impressive local talent. I am consistently impressed with the quality of their productions. And theres not a bad seat in the house.
One of the lesser known gems of the Clintonville area, they are a great little theatre company that always puts heart into their performances. If you like live theatre, definitely check them out.
Great local space to see great theatrical works
Great time! Watched Laura Camick perform. Awesome voice and a great sound!
A family-run local theatre that stages important play, both classic and contemporary. The owners rehabbed this former-doggie-daycare/former-Jiffy-Lube into a cozy little space. Its got solid ac/heat and so is comfy during every season. Even better, the seats are super comfy, and the price of admission includes refreshments. Dont miss this little gem. The acting is often top-notch. Support your local live theatre.
We stumbled upon this hidden gem about 6 months ago and regret all the years that have past not knowing of this theater. The space is intimate, the staff is friendly and provides excellent customer care (and tea & cookies!). Weve seen three plays so far and look forward to coming back for the next production. The set design is often simple, allowing the play itself and the actors to be the focus.
Very nice small venue.
Great space with lots of talented people. Go see A Christmas Carol!
I really enjoyed the current show, Collected Stories. The acting was excellent - extremely professional - and the set was outstanding!
Wonderful show. The Real Thing worked well in this intimate theatre. Very enjoyable.
I just saw Roads to Mecca last night, and oh my God! The acting was great. The theater is small and quaint too!
Never even heard of this until a friend offered me an extra ticket. Cozy space for sure. But the play was excellent.
Excellent show. Very small, intimate theatre. But really enjoyed the performance.
Comfy intimate atmosphere. Good selection of shows. Always well done.
Love Columbus Civic Theater! Nice space. Good price. Managment (Richard A.) is awesome!
I love local theatre and Columbus Civic Theatre did not disappoint. You know the players have done their job when you feel physically awkward sitting in the audience because it seems like you are hearing conversations that should not be aired in public. Bravo on Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf?!
Friendly staff. Intimate theater setting (50 seats).
Intimate setting. There is literally not a bad seat in the house.
Lovely little theater with wonderful productions. First rate.
I went to watch the Comedy of Errors, and it was really well preformed! This is my first time watching a Shakespearean piece and I was happily surprised I understood what was happening!
Great show!
Talented actors and interesting venue!
Wife heard about this place, and we went to A Christmas Carol and have been going ever since. Just Beyond Therapy. I never laughed so hard!
Small location - fun shows
Great place
The theatre is shoddy. Management is laughably incompetent.
Love this theater!
Nice!
