First time there but experience was very good! Actors made a difficult subject very entertaining. Was easy to get seated and drinks were reasonable.

Absolutely love Waukesha Civic Center. Viewing of the show is spectacular from any seat. The Four Guyz in Dinner Jackets were amazing!

The ACT program for kids is fantastic. My daughter has been in theater at school and two other local theater training groups in the area. This program was far above what the others offered. I give a lot of credit to the directors Shannon Messplay and Gwen Ter Haar for molding kids into true actors and performance singers. There is a small charge,... (and it is small in comparison to what other theater groups try to charge), but it is well worth the money. I am looking forward to the next production - they are taking on Les Mis for April 2020!! Im sure it will be amazing.

A great little theater that puts on wonderful shows. Saw Thoroughly Modern Millie this past spring and it was phenomenal. How can you not love having a theater like this in your community?

This place surprised me. I havent been here in years and it was nicely updated. We watched a musical and it was fun. Price was cheap and I like how they allow you to pick the seats you want ahead of time too. I will definitely go here again.

Local show options are great. Ive seen many. Old movie theater. Tip that the back section front row is hard to see, but the rest are raised and give a better view.

Had a very enjoyable time seeing a holiday play here. Nice venue, albeit quite small but all the seats are good. Snacks, beer and wine and soft drinks available for purchase. Will return as its reasonable and great for local theater. Reserved the extra star as I feel the bigger venues with orchestra in downtown are worthy of five stars.

Their theater classes are absolutely fantastic. It doesnt matter if you have years of experience or none at all: you will grow as an artist and a person. They offer classes for kids/teens ages 4-19, and for adults!

It is all around the best community theatre ever. They are really involved with the community, they put on great shows, and they have great kids programming. The main theatre teacher, Dug, is amazing. I learned so much from him when I was a kid and used to take classes there. In the last few years the kids ACT program has grown so much and is now better than ever. I love to come and see all of there shows and acts in a few of them as well. I highly recommend the Waukesha Civic Theatre. Everyone who works or volunteers there is also supper nice and helpful.

Good for community theater. Ive been to several shows with former TV actors. The venue is small (being the former Pix movie theatre) so all seats are decent. I would have given it 5 stars, but that rating is reserved for live theatre such as APT in Spring Green or the Milwaukee Rep.

This theater is fantastic. We love the ACAP players. We saw their version of The tortoise and hare fable. The cast was filled with handi-capable folks that were either physically or mentally challenged. One woman, in a wheelchair, began laughing at the wrong time, but was so infectious I laughed till I cried. The pure joy in her voice was evident. Their next performance is in April and its based on Damn Yankees baseball.
