Actors Theatre of Louisville Review

Always a great show. Performances and production is always top notch. I'm never disappointed

Amazing and so fun to see the show with such great seats

Small enough venue so there are no bad seats in the house, but just big enough for professional productions. This establishment is really a historic landmark that promotes the arts to all ages and backgrounds, evident in its casting and audience. The talent and enthusiasm of the cast and staff make this a real Louisville treasure. They have very fair pricing and the location and parking are convenient and centrally located.

I had the time of my life while watching Once on this Island. It was awesome.

Excellent experience that I plan on attending in the future. As a matter of fact, next Sunday I'm going to see a performance.

Always top notch plays. Talented actors, directors, set makers, etc. The parking garage exit requires some patience. It's best to back into a spot or you may never get out.

Wonderful place! "Once On This Island" was an amazing experience for kids and adults alike!

Very cool theatre with terrific performances on intimate stages and genuinely superlative staff of courteous, enthusiastic, helpful, and knowledgeable souls.

The only reason I am not giving all 5 stars is for the parking (garage) situation. I will have to remember not to park in the theatre garage, next time I am trying to save money and time. It was winter, last time I was there, so non-motorised vehicles were out of the question, but i would suggest carpool or uber, dinner out beforehand... dinner and a show is a delightful treat, no matter what.

We saw Dracula
Awesome performance!

Saw "a Christmas Carol" here with the family, some of the ghosts could be a tad scary for small children since they did a good hobb making a few scenes creepy, my 8 year was scared of 1 but other than that the acting and writing were excellent. Very touching story, great version of the Christmas classic!

Went to see the play Dracula with my son's school and it was absolutely Amazing!!! The actors/actresses are some of the best I have ever seen. I felt like I was a part of the play. It scared my son and his friends to death at certain times during the play. Luv It!!!!!

Wonderful theatre! Great atmosphere and great productions.

Excellent place to see a show. There's always first class productions always performed here. They allow drinks during the performances and have an attached parking garage. Just took the family to see A Christmas Carol and hopefully it will become a family tradition as everyone loved it!

I love this place - the cast...employees...the stages... everything EXCEPT The Corpse Washer. Boooooo Hisssss!!!

The venue was small enough to be intimate. Enjoyed the christmas carols in the lobby before the play.

Actors Theatre is a complete joy. From the viewing experience to the excellent sound, I have always enjoyed every experience at the theatre. Highly recommended.

Memories made here, Inspiring young and old, Nothing as Grand as live theatre...

Always a good time. The performance itself was less than interesting, but a good time nonetheless.

Wonderful experience, strong recommend for anyone who is interested in the performing arts.

Got a season pass 2 years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed every play I saw there. They have multiple theaters. My favorite was the small one where the audience was entirely around the stage.

Louisville is fortunate to have one of the top regional theaters in the country. We have been season ticket holders for many years. We enjoy the Sunday matinees plays and usually enjoy an early diner afterwards

Play was excellent, I would post a picture but cameras aren't allowed in the theater

Actors Theatre play A Christmas Carol is spectacular. Fresh and traditional. Amazing. Hope you get to go. Wonderful way to start the season and reminds us to give thanks and give generously to all.

Attended a sensory-friendly performance and it was great. Made people who needed accommodationa feel comfortable and those who didn't couldn't tell. These kinds of options opens the doors for more people in our community to experience and enjoy the arts. Kudos, ATL. Keep it up!

Saw Santaland diarys didnt realize it was only one actor but he made it funny and worth seeing.

A wonderful production of A Christmas Carol tonight! Excellent dinner at BBC, next door, before the show!

Easy access,comfortable,great viewing in every seat.

I was really surprised at what they could preform it was amazing seeing the action in Deracula.

Great place. Awesome shows. Park in there garage for easy exit.

Love the theater..didn't care for play The Thin Place. Some unnecessary offensive language. Actors were very good.

Saw a Christmas Carol. Absolutely fantastic. Great production. Lot of fun. Grab a drink at the bar and head to your seat. Highly recommend.

Love it! Great seats, perfect sound. I go every year.

Loved seeing the Christmas Carol this year, best ever!

Absolutely loved it!!! The plays are performed in a cozy, intimate setting with amazingly talented actors and actresses. They transport you to the time and place they portray, making you feel that you are just as involved in the storyline right along with them. Can't wait to go back!!!

Great experience. Went to see Dracula, and it was brilliant. You can get really close to the actors and the action the way the Bingham theater is. Not sure the layout out the other auditorium. The Bingham is basically theatre in the round, I guess. (I Think technically it would fit that description.) Very nice lobby with a really cool area with an amazing dome ceiling. Friendly volunteers, ushers were great and helpful. Loved it.. Would definitely go back... The parking lot was a bit hard to find with all the construction when I came down. But no big deal ultimately.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE. SKELETON CREW PLAY WAS PHENOMENAL.

This year's performance of Christmas Carol was one of the best in years. I was particularly impressed by the actor who served as Narrator. She did not merely narrate, she told the story with passion appropriate to the work.

I went here to see Dracula and got first row. It looked insanely realistic and was the best play I'd ever seen!

Really wonderful showing of A Christmas Carol. Intimate theater setting made for a wonderful time.

We go and see Dracula here each year, and I would like to start going more often to see other shows! The seating is really nice and acoustics are great. They always have a bar set up to get drinks before the show or at intermission. Go see a show here!

Great way to spend some time, the play a Christmas Carol was outstanding.

Actors Theatre is a wonderful place. We have seen many great performances there. I enjoy the seating which makes you feel you are part of the show.

Watched the Johnny Cash Musical the venue was great the actors were great overall a great time

Normally the shows are great. Santaland Diaries was a one actor show, uneventful and pretty much boring. Other shows have been great.

Really great talent here at home! This venue has great views no matter your seat because it's so cozy and small. I sat in the balcony, section 3 row u and it was center stage last row but was perfect because easy out but yet I could still see the actors facial expressions. The balcony has bathrooms super close and a less busy bar. Handicapped persons would not want seats in balcony because it's not wheelchair accessible and the stairs are narrow enough to feel the affects if you have issues with height. I loved the talented singers, actors and special effects! Actors theatre makes me so proud that we have world class theatre opportunities right here in louisville!
BTW there is on site parking garage and the elevator empties right out into the various levels of the theater. Parking is 10 bucks and closes at 11pm. One block away from old spaghetti factory, right across street from yum center, mortons steak house is 2 blocks away also.

Loved it! I saw Dracula. It was my first time going and I also plan on going again. I recommend it for great local entertainment!!

We enjoyed A Christmas Carol. But I really think they need to invest in new seats.

Up and coming artists performing extraordinary plays at reasonable prices

One of the premiere regional Theatre companies in the nation. The Humana Festival of New American Plays is internationally recognized as one of the most important theater festivals in the world.

Need better description, mostly for when "where the mountain meats the sea".

I've seen several shows here and all have been fantastic. Dracula is their best and I see it every year.

We saw A Christmas Carol on 12/23/2017. We had some problems. We went and ended up really happy about the play. The actors were wonderful. They did a great job with everything. The actors were the best part of the whole experience. They used their skills in other areas in their life to put on a play. I wish I could leave the review on the actors alone. They would get 5 stars the whole way around. Now, the problems. The seat I was sitting in was small for someone of my stature. I am 6'4" and slim. I had a hard time fitting between me and the person to my left who was also doing her best to stay away from me just as I was her. I understand we were at a family play. There were kids everywhere. The whole theater of kids and family were good except the grandma and the two kids behind us. They just would not stop talking. The kids were kicking the back of our seat from the second they came in. We had to say something to them and so did the people sitting next to us. We expected an usher to come and ask them to stop being so loud but it never happened. The man next to us had a lot of patience. We had to say something to the kids before the play even started. At the intermission, the man turned to them and very kindly asked "When the play starts again, could you stop kicking our seats?" The kicking of our seats was cut in half and they continued to talk through even the most quiet of times. I missed most of what the Ghost of Christmas Present had to say. The actor was doing such a good job and I was hanging on his every word and then the grandma started to explain to the children that kicking people's seat scares them and they need to "try" not to do it. Not only did she not explain that kicking the seats was rude, she acted like it was ok to talk during the play. There were several kids in the play that sat there completely quiet. I know the theater can't screen people before the tickets are sold but we did definitely expect someone to come tell them to be quiet. We were basically at the point of the next thing we say to them was going to have to be rude and all we wanted to do was enjoy the happy feelings the play inspired. To get up in the middle of the play and do anything is rude in my eyes. I was stuck in my seat, in the middle of my row, and couldn't even go ask someone to do anything about it.

Saw Hershey Felder's Irving Berlin show. Fabulous. Perfect setting.

The performance was excellent as was his acting and piano playing. Great seats too.

Saw A Christmas Carol and it was fantastic! The gymnast that played the Spirit of Christmas Past was phenomenal!!! Loved it!

I love actors theatre. The acting, art, and set design and painting are exquisite. As an ex New Yorker, this is the broadway of Louisville, and I like it even better. Plus there s parking.

This place is great. Every seat is a great seat. The acoustics are amazing. Always filled with great actors! Definitely will be back again next year for the next Dracula!

We saw "Dracula.". What a show! What a performance! Never seen a bad production in over 20 years!

The Theatre is nice and everyone is very helpful. Seats are small that's why the 4 stars.

Dracula was thee best...Renfield was really good as the insane patient...and all the actors done a really great job...stunts....action...blood...well worth it...cant wait to go again
