Went to see Clyde's and I highly recommend. Not that it is all about the sandwich but eat before you go or the quest to make the best ever sandwich will make you grave it. The acting was really good and a great date night to take the guys to a play. Any guy will enjoy it. Ps is more than just a sandwich.they did a good job of catching the life of a Prep cook and more. Lots of deep items tucked away in the storyline.

Have subscript the Arden for a number of years, and have seen many productions even before subscribing.

The quality of the productions is also top notch (helped by strong financial support) and the ability to reconfigure the F. Otto Haas Theater gives the Arden wonderful creative flexibility which is amply used.

The choice of productions tends to stay away from your standard war horses, although there is a strong connection between the Arden and Sondheim so that it has done many of his musicals.

The Arden also has a great, creative children’s theater designed to engage kids with high quality programming.

I chaperoned on my son's kindergarten trip to see Charlotte's Web, and it was an awesome show

We saw Clyde's. Love the theatre and the small, intimate setting. The actors were excellent and the story line was captivating. The curse words, however, were an affront - every single person didn't need to swear all throughout the performance. It should have been rated X for language and inuendo.

Surprised I’ve never left a review of The Arden. I’ve been seeing great theater here since 1999. It’s a small theater with spacious seating and there is really no bad seat in the house. They usually sell drinks and snacks in the lobby before the show and they have tables and chairs to relax and consume your purchase. Restrooms are clean and adequate. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Lastly, I was just at the Arden yesterday, 2/12/2023, and saw their wonderful production of Clyde’s by Lynn Nottage, which is playing through March 5. If you’re seeing this review before then I highly recommend you check it out!

Charlotte's Web was incredibly creative and clever. Actors were incredibly talented and on many levels. Highly recommend.

Love this place! The service was AWESOME! I found parking right up the street but they also gave me a coupon to park in the lot across the street. The snack stand was good, the line moved pretty fast. Bathrooms was clean. I’d recommend catching a show here.

The theater is awesome and in great condition. The past and current plays, especially Clyde's, are great. I'm looking forward to the next season of shows.

Got to see an adaptation of Charlotte's Web and it was lovely! The actors were wonderful and really involved the audience. Was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon

Great local theater with really different productions. I always buy their "leap of faith" season subscriptions, not knowing what the plays are going to be. Never disappointed yet!

Great theater for family time and it encourages reading and they hangout to talk with the children as well as audience participation. They are so enthusiastic and fun! Love this place.

I took my grandson to Charlotte's Web. He was enthralled, excited, and loved it.
He begged to come to the next show, Little Red Ridinghood.

I went to Arden Theatre with my son to watch Charlotte's Web. The whole production was great and the cast was very talented. I will return for another show soon.

I have never seen a bad show at the Arden. Clyde’s did not disappoint. Stellar acting. Timely subject! Don’t miss it!
