Theatre Memphis

Attended a play of a family friend. Fantastic little joint. Very intimate setting, decent layout. No Complaints. If we weren’t in Chicagoland, I’d probably go back more.

We have attended several plays at this theater and always enjoy the performances and the intimacy of this theater.
We are always thoroughly entertained and have since purchased season tickets and brought other friends to the plays.
Be aware that there is raw language used at times in some of the plays. So, if that bothers you were you intend on bringing children, be sure to ask before you purchase your tickets.

I was very unimpressed with my experience here. Having won tickets to a show at the Orpheum, I noticed that the program book contained a coupon for a show at Theatre Memphis. I was unable to use the coupon code online, so I had to order my tickets by phone. Ok, fine. However, when a friend and I arrived for our show, both will call and the box office were unable to locate our tickets — despite the fact the my credit card had already been charged, and I had that card with me.
Only my ever more forceful questions about how they were going to fix this (with the minutes to curtain steadily ticking down) led to them issuing us new tickets, with assurances that these were better seats. Wait a minute… if you can’t find MY tickets, how do you know these are better?!
Tickets obtained, however, we settled into our seats and enjoyed the show, and I thought that was the end of it. Then the junk mail started, addressed to my incorrectly spelled name and address — no wonder they couldn’t find my tickets! A phone call to request removal from their list produced no results, and I had to call a second time and provide the misspelled version of my name. Neither person seemed at all interested in why I was so bent on NOT receiving their mailings, which is indicative of the attitude here. Obviously, I will never be attending another show at Theatre Memphis.

Theatre Memphis is a Memphis gem. I love dressing up and catching a show here– the atmosphere is perfect. Not as grand as The Orpheum, but still grand.
There are always entertaining shows scheduled and I look forward to seeing Cabaret here in 2011. The sets are so impressive and the casts incredibly talented.
Each year, Theatre Memphis puts on a production of A Christmas Carol, a nice little tradition that Memphians always enjoy.
Theatre Memphis also has a touring group called Showagon that performs at schools and libraries, as well as a kids group named KidsWagon that allows children to audition, rehearse and perform– an awesome component of arts education in Memphis.
