The chorus was great. The facilities were clean. The green room is great to have during intermission!

Super fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon! The folks here are genuinely happy to be participating - whether the cast, musicians, house managers, or even the volunteer crew. The venue is fascinating, the area is lively, and parking is pretty easy. Im looking forward to visiting again.

Ive gone once a year for close to a decade.This playhouse is home to a wonderful community theater company. It also happens to be a fantastic bit of architecture inside and out.Ive seen great shows and Ive seen mediocre shows, but more of the former than the latter.Worth a visit!

Went to see Elf the Musical and had a lovely time. Ushers were helpful and very knowledgeable. I had a great seat, nice cup of coffee during intermission and good conversation with patrons while waiting for the show to begin.

A Fine Place to see a play

Wonderful small venue all seats are great it is so small. Having a traditional pit orchestra adds to the fun.

Theater facility was nice and well maintained, clean restrooms, etc. The play was enjoyable as well. Giving the experience only 4 stars as I found the seating to be uncomfortable for sitting long periods of time.

I took my six year old to see Elf this afternoon. The acting was top notch! I was frustrated by the adult language in a play that said it was for the entire family. There were a couple of bawdy comments that went over her head but, there were several curse words thrown out there that didn’t! It saddens me that this type of language is appropriate for you to market to families with small children. In my opinion, using the curse words didn’t make the play any better. I think it actually took something away with those of us with small children who were in attendance. I left disappointed today.

It is a gem, offering culture to our area with a wide variety of plays from classics, to raucous comedy, to moving dramas, to musicals, and more. All professionally performed in a community theatre.

Simply one of the best community theaters in the nation. Ive been going to shows here for 20 years now and have yet to have a bad exp. The delightful little coffee break during intermission is an extra delight to meet and greet with other patrons as well as staff and talent. Their kids shows are amazing and my girls delight at the prospect of the new seasons every year.

Always enjoy my experiences there whether participating or enjoying a show.

Great small theater. Staff are very kind. Handicap accessible.

Had an idea to get a costume to celebrate Halloween with my Chinese friends. I started learning about there culture, I thought about getting costumes for them. We attended a party all dressed up as King and queen. Fun night dancing. Later in Taipei please in z similiar idea with the Taipei Intl Theatre Society. Good memories both times.

I love going to the Civic. Last nights show, War Paint was spectacular! I enjoy being downtown, the whole theater experience is delightful at the Kalamazoo Civic!

AMAAAAAZZING!!!! my daughter and I saw Matilda tonight as an early start to my birthday......it was so great and the theater is just so beautiful....well WORTH it!!so glad we went...we will definitely be checking out more shows at the civic!!!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

It is such a privelage to have a great theater in town. The building is beautiful. The staff is really friendly and helpful. We saw the complete works of Shakespeare Abridged and it was thoroughly entertaining. Three actors kept us laughing and engaged the whole time. The audience participation made it move fast and kept us on our toes.

I saw Madagascar Jr with my daughter and her kindergarten class. So much fun!! Very well organized and the kids loved it!!On a personal note the staff is very accommodating for nursing mothers...very appreciated!!

I went to the Civic Theatre for the first time this last weekend and the setting was intimate and the stage was nicely visible from what looks like most of the theatre. I loved that it was close to the walking mall so I was able to get dinner and then go to the show! And of course the show was wonderful!

A very fun play done well.

Great downtown theater, lucky to have such a place

Great local theater with amazing shows.

Some adult themes in a childrens adaptation.typical : (parking was a bear. my childs comment the beginning was funny.in my group 2 adults were the only ones impressed

My grandsons did a marvelous job on their performance. I was proud of them. There were some pretty great people working hard for their first performance. My grandsons enjoyed learning at their first Drama Camp this summer at The Kalamazoo Civic Theatre. Thank you to all of their Drama teachers!

Matilda was a great kid show. The dancing was great, the acoustics were bad

Very well done production.

Wonderful acting. Great facility and no bad seats in the house!

Awesome Talent for a Community Theater!

A variety of great performances available throughout the season for all ages and tastes. This organization is one of the gems of our community and is rated as the 3rd largest community theater in the country at the time...so much amazing talent from people who volunteer their time to put on the shows, both on stage and behind the scenes!

War Paint what wonderful production the Civic cast and crew/staff should be proud

First timer. Hello Dolly was really fun and entertaining! I will definitely come back for another show in the future!

Nice Little Theatre nestled in the heart of Kalamazoo. Local Productions are always nice and they have great deals. Just recently saw The Little Mermaid and was quite impressed with not only the acting and the singing, But the production itself. Very high quality and would recommend. The will call area in the front entrance is quite small, so I recommend wearing a coat for cold weather because you might be in line out the door.If you are going to go, there is usually plenty of free parking in the area at night. Just look for the parking lots are not either side of the park.

Saw a great play tonight

Comfortable and great show. We seen Madagascar Jr here.

This is a very nice place and its along the way when you play Pokemon go.

Great performance by the kids in Madagascar Jr.! Kudos to director Jacki Stahr!

Outstanding Quality ~ comparable to Broadway. Great Price! A historic theater with about 500 seats. Great sight lines and acoustics. They also have classes for kids, adults and seniors. They have free workshops for each production for actors and techies. The staff is fantastic, and a great group of volunteers too. I cant say enough about this wonderful place.

Hello Dolly debuted this past weekend and the presentation was wonderful. Great casting and high energy!

We live the civic theater!

Many creative ideas come to life here as you initially step into a world of creative imagination. Everything is well done, and the staff and volunteers are kind and assistive. I can personally say from experience that I have had great fun here watching plays such as Sister Act, Dr. Suess Jr, and Mary Poppins. It means a lot to me that a town such as Kalamazoo is honored with this gift of a performance hall.

Saw Hello Dolly and it was a wonderful show. Theres not a bad seat in this hall.

Seen elf it was great

The Civic always does an excellent job.We have enjoyed their shows for years.

Wonderful old theatre, well maintained, with a great variety of shows throughout the season. Want to make a good impression? Take your honey out to see a show in the beautiful ambiance of the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre!

Watched The Little Mermaid. Omg they were flying on wires over the stage. Costumes and actors are top quality. Will be returning many times

Had great laughs tonight at Hound of the Baskervilles. We love the Civic. They consistently put on a good show.

Awesome old place!!!

Elf was great!

I love it they always do a great job

Warm & Friendly place with a beautiful small theather setting. Limited parking is the only reason it was not a 5 star rating

Beautifully classic old theater. Free coffee in real cups and saucers was a beautiful touch.

I have had the privilege and countless opportunities to do many fantastic productions at the Kalamazoo Civic. This community is so full of great theatrical artists. --ranging from youth to collegiate to your average 9 to 5 workin adult. This theatre is a fabulous deacon and piece of the Kalamazoo Community. It truly has been a pleasure and such a thrill to have the ability to stretch and flex that theatrical muscle!! #Broadwayinkzoo

This is such a beautiful, historic place in Kalamazoo. They have a range of live performances for all ages

They have great shows there

It is very nice and clean. Shows are great and mostly anywhere you can get a good view.

Old theater that is such fun to see a live performance in. I loved going there.

Great fun and excellent hospitality! What a fun and intimate venue.

Saw Hello Dolly. Awesome show!

The place is a gem in the kzoo community. The program staff are amazing at mentoring kids and adults alike as producing high caliber shows.

Great experience! Sherlock Holmes was hysterical and the performers were so talented!!

The musicals, theater, and experiences I have had at the Civic have been memorable. Productions are very well done!

Great show.... wonderful venue

Always a special treat when I can attend a show here.

Great venue. You are so close to the performers in every seat.

Top quality for a community theater. Most plays are off-broadway quality. Small intimate setting with good sight lines and acoustics.

I have seen theater all across north and south america and the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre is easily one of the best places to see a show, in fact unless you knew before seeing a show that it was community based theater you would be hard pressed to tell it from any of the professional theater in Kalamazoo.

Excellent local.theater with restored building and talented people

Very nice community theater venue.

Wonderful night out with family or friends

Historical!! Nice atmosphere. Lots of people.
