garden theatre

Sweeney Todd is one of my favs!. I had goose bumps for the last 5 mins of this performance. Music was excellent, seating is comfortable and the town of Winter Garden is great. We attended the last performance on sun afternoon. Dinner at Al Frescos the night before and a bloody mary at Pilar's before the show. Sounds just about perfect? It really was. Next season's schedule looks exeptional.

I have attended several musical productions with my son at the Garden Theatre, and each time we left having immensely enjoyed our evening. They do a fantastic job with everything: sets, costumes, lights, orchestra, front of house, performances (of course) - everything! We definitely recommend the theatre. Movies are nice, but there's nothing like live stage performances, and when they're done as wonderfully as they are at the beautiful historic Garden Theatre, the time spent with family/friends is priceless!

We went as part of their summer movie showcase which featured a host of classic movies such as Citizen Kane, Casablanca and more. While the snacks were limited, the price was fantastic. Located in the heart of Downtown Winter Garden, come early and take a stroll along the trail. Stay late and grab a coffee or ice cream nearby.

My grandparents used to go to this theater way back in the day. In fact, they first heard about the Pearl Harbor bombing on the sidewalk outside as they left a movie.It was closed for a long time, then opened up a few years ago. It's always first rate. The shows are classy and the movies are vintage. Snacks are cheap.The best part is the ghosthunting experience. Usually about once a year, they invite a ghost tour group in to stay part of the night looking for paranormal activity. I did it once and would love to do it again. It's a separate event that you book with American Ghost Adventures.

I don't know why it took me so long to get around to going to this theatre! It is very nicely restored and the staff was so welcoming. We saw a play, 33 Variations, and it really benefitted from the close up atmosphere. I will be checking all upcoming events and attending in the future.

I took the family to see our first show at the theatre - hairspray. everyone had a great time! we really enjoyed the smaller theatre as we were so close to the stage. It seems like every seat would a good one. we were able to purchase drinks and snacks before and at the intermission as well and take them to our seats. We will be going to more events in the future. I recommend for all ages based on the show. The kids have already picked out the show they want to see next..

The theater is beautiful and the quaint atmosphere all provide a great locale for talented acting. They not only provide exceptional live shows they bring nostalgia to life with old classic movies!

Saw "Hairspray" at Garden Theatre last night…amazingly professional for a small theatre! A fantastic bunch of talent, beautifully directed! Not a boring moment the entire evening…truly as good as some of the Broadway productions I've seen. We saw their production of "33 Variations" a couple of months ago, and it was also wonderfully acted and thoroughly entertaining. The fall opening and spring closing musicals of this theatre have been just wonderful for the past several years…lots of professional talent. A beautiful little historical theatre located in the charming downtown area of Winter Garden…highly recommend!

I have been to the Garden Theater for several plays and movies. Awesome place to go. Love the movies series!

The restoration of this historic movie theatre -- and its conversion into a live theatre and film venue --a few years ago was impeccably accomplished with a high level of authenticity with the period of its original construction (1930s). The operating group continues to maintain it in pristine condition. Although it is a small stage by performance hall standards, the resulting intimacy (with only 299 seats) is a reward worth waiting for.The live productions feature mostly local professional actors, with a large universe to pull from with Universal and Disney nearby. One or two community productions each season add to the small town feel of the place, without sacrificing quality.Most films shown are of a "vintage" nature. I never tire of seeing "Gone with the Wind" or "West Side Story" on the big screen.Visitors to Central Florida who are looking to get away from the "manufactured" entertainment venues are encouraged to give this place a try. They won't be disappointed!

Wonderful opportunity to view live theater within walking distance of our hotel at a reasonable price. We really enjoyed the show!

Wonderful cultural space that has contributed greatly to making downtown Winter Garden an fun, exciting place to visit. Quality programming in a diverse range of genre in this beautifully restored movie house leads to interesting community conversations.

Our group chose this theater for a Sunday afternoon outing. This small theater is affordable, easy to travel to and close to restaurants in downtown Winter Garden. We saw "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" which was hilarious. The theater has an affordable snack stop, has comfortable seats on floor level only and a lot of pleasant staff that showed interest in us as a group. I am looking forward to attending more of their events.

We had no idea what a fabulous show we would see when we went to today's matinee of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the Garden Theater - it was better than seeing it on Broadway! The production was fabulous - the cast superb - and the theater is a gem. Our first time there...and, rest assured, it will not be our last! We went to Pilar's (a lovely bar next door to the theater) after the performance and had a glass of great wine - what a perfect experience in charming Winter Garden. The Garden Theater is the BEST

Once again Winter Garden has surpised me. My wife and I went to the Garden Theater for a showing of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and what a nice surprise!. First the venue itself was so nicely restored. The seats were padded, very comfortable and not as narrow as alot of theaters. There really isnt a bad seat in the house. Second, the level of ability of the actors was exceptional. Sound levels were well balanced and lighting was very professional. We are already planning our next trip for "33 Variations" and Hairspray! If only one of the better restaurants would stay open for an after performance dinner....... how about it Al Fresco or Chef's Table.......
