The George Theater, home to the A.D. Players, is a large, modern facility that showcases area talent and multiple plays/musicals each year. Located in the Houston Galleria area, the George Theater is convenient to most of the city and is on one of the main streets, making it easy to find.

I have been to a few different plays at the George Theater and I continue to come away from the experience impressed even more each time. The theater itself is medium in size with comfortable seating and both a lower level and balcony. Views are good no matter where you sit, since no seat is very far from the stage. The digital sound and stage set up are all excellent and the service is outstanding. All of the personnel make sure that you feel welcome and they go out of their way to help with any questions you might have or any assistance you may need.

If you get hungry or thirsty, the George Theater serves drinks and snacks. You are not permitted to bring them into the theater, so be sure to finish them before you make your way to your seat. Another restriction is picture taking. You can t take pictures during the shows, however you are free to snap a pic or two before the actual show, during intermission, etc.

The George Theater is an impressive size from the outside. You really can t miss the large, stand- alone building. Another plus is the parking- the George Theater has its own parking lot with more than enough spaces for all, and the parking is free! All things considered, the George Theater is a hidden gem in Houston and a place that earns an easy five star rating.

Want to experience a different type of artistry in Houston? The A.D. players present plays which are entertaining, thought-provoking & different from other Houston venues. Comfortable seating, upscale theater, digital sound & lighting make your experience enjoyable. Floor or balcony seating allow easy viewing.

The people were courteous, the space large yet intimate, and the production was interesting and intriguing. The seats are comfortable and the audience respectful. The less expensive Tier IV seats have a perfectly good view. It is amazing to see a place like this giving the glory to God. Will definitely come here again.

A. D. Players has a brand new beautiful theater. The technology to run the shows and the atmosphere is very good here. It's definitely a great theater and in a very good location. I've volunteered for them several times and I've also seen quite a few shows here with more lined up soon.

The A.D. Players is a beautiful event space. All the ushers were friendly and welcoming for the "Go DJ Awards." The Valet area I was greeted to friendly smiles and gentlemen opening the door for me. It was a personal touch I enjoyed. It is wheelchair accessible. Valet service in the front! Lights brighten up the building to invite you to come in and have a great time. It was an awesome event and beautiful two story building. Thank you A.D. Players at The George Theatre for having exceptional customer service.

Their production team has to be one of the more underrated things about this place. Went to see the Freud/Lewis play recently and was blown away by the stage. The seating gets a little rough without intermission, but this seats have been there for a while - its to be expected. I encountered a gentleman that was a little cold at the drink and snack 'bar.' But the play itself made up for it.

I have to confess I was a little anxious attending as it's a Church based theater but the performance was outstanding and the facility is state of the art. No overbearing religious messages and the quality of the performance was as good as anything you would see downtown for half the price.

Very awesome performance could not believe how good it was for what we paid we are thinking of getting the season tickets to have guaranteed date nights throughout the year for such a good price

Very nice new state of the art theatre. The performances generally are very professionally executed from set to closing curtain. Most shows have a religious theme or positive underlying theme. The last performance was an impressive one man performance of the conversion of C. S. Lewis. Would go to every performance if I could!

My wife and I had date night here, watching Tuesdays with Maurie. It was wonderful, the venue was easy to find, parking was close by and plentiful, they served food and drinks, and every seat had a great view. It is an intimate place that makes the experience memorable. They also are a great non-profit institution with a mission I support.

Beautiful new structure and playhouse for the this long standing Houston institution. They have come a long way. Seating area compliments stage and sound very well. Beverage concession a bit pricey; however, you can purchase a "sippy cup" $ to take beverage into theater.

We saw a musician perform at this theater. The acoustics were awesome. The seats were comfortable. The women's bathroom was huge and clean and the parking lot was right next to the theater with plenty of parking spaces. Even though it was quite far from our home, I would go to this theater again for shows.

Beautiful venue. Gracious, friendly folks greet you and welcome you to a delightful theatre experience. Delightful show tonight - Neil Simon's God's Favorite - excellently produced, charmingly performed...lots of laughs and sweet touching moments. We will be back!

Saw "Best of Enemies" tonight. Wow! What a powerful message.
All four performers were a delight to watch.

Kevin Dean as C.P. Ellis delivered a nuanced performance. Watching the character deal with both the racial turbulence of the early 70's and the personal problems in his life felt completely believable.

Alice Gatling as Ann Atwater was a force to be reckoned with. Watching her own journey of self-discovery was enlightening and emotional.

Joseph Palmore and Christy Watkins portrayed their characters with depth and true attention to detail.

The directors use of costuming during the scene changes to set the location was inspired. Her use of real language was difficult to listen to at times. That said it was complete necessary. We ALL need reminders like that about how ugly those racial slurs are!

The scenic and costume designs were simple and perfect. Both set the mood and time without drawing attention to themselves.

My only complaint is that neither the sound designer nor audio engineer are credited in the program. The sound design was instrumental in establishing and pushing forward the story.

The venue is beautiful and the free parking great!
Can't wait to return!
