Meadow Brook Theatre

Tends not to offer the most dramatically adventurous types of plays, but knows how to get the job done and serve the crowds, living up to its title as Michigan’s largest professional theatre.
The theatre seems to strive to offer a personal touch, with the artistic director often visible in the crowd before the show and then appearing onstage for a pre-​show speech. The casting seems to make an effort to draw at least 1 or 2 actors with a connection to Oakland University.
Production values are very high on their large and wide proscenium, with a strong attention to detail, color schemes and (for the most part) use of space. Lighting, costume and sound also maintain the same high standards.
Of the three plays I have seen here, two have ended in «dance parties» onstage after the bows, so perhaps that is part of the routine?!
It’s a surprisingly small lobby and front of house space, so don’t come expecting to stay awhile before and after the show. But when you’re in the theatre space itself, you’ll be rewarded with excellent production standards for a great night out.

This is a great local theatre! Very intimate setting, nothing fancy but they have great and fun options throughout their performance season.
Our family has enjoyed seeing many plays/​performances here through the years.

What a nice experience. A nice safe venue for a lovely evening do close to home. Plays are always tastefully and well presented. They offer student tickets for $ 11:00 only «Two» per picture ID and seniors at a 20% discount off posted prices at the Meadowbrook box office. And every seat is a «Good» seat. On Sat. and Sun. 2:00 performances usually have available seats.

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra playing all Gershwin.
How delightful a conclusion to my four-​day philanthropy quest for People with Criminal Records, and my ringside seat that a lobbying colleage got me for the negotations that resolved the 101-​day garbage strike on the other side of the river.
NICE.
Meadow Brook Theater bills itself as Michigan’s largest producing professional theatre.
And it’s hard to quarrel with the free parking across the street! (oops; gotta go; show starting!)
