Great intimate place to see a show. Not a bad seat in the house. In the center of town with lots of great restaurants nearby.

Nice little theatre, nice performance. Enjoyable evening.
Wherever you sit you can see the performance the show was great sinatra at the sands.
Good Xmas show , parking is always rough here. Good eats after .Enjoyed .
The show was amazing but the seats are extremely tight. Should know before attending
I'm basing this rating on a community theatre production, nothing more.
Having been in this show myself, I may be a bit more critical, but here goes.
First,the 4 principal performers were stellar. In my view, they were the entire show. With the support of a better than just good orchestra, their pure,spot on rich voices did more than justice to the beautiful score. Kudos also to the sound guy. A special recognition to the young, but rising star in Lancelot.What he may lack in acting skill he far makes up in his rich baritone voice. The supporting cast, although as a chorus did the job very well,gave the feel that I was watching more of a high school production in the casting.Although they all performed well and without error, the knights and ladies if the court,did not quite look the role. Had the casting( and the wigs) been better , visually this would have been above a community player performance and close to professional given that King Arthur,Guinevere, Lancelot , King Pellimore, and even, though brief,Mordred brought it home in a very transporting and believable way.
Approx a 550 seat theater, presenting a nice variety of performances. All seats have good viewing lines.
What a wonderful local theater! Just saw A Christmas Story. Top notch! Why bother going to NYC. Stay local. Fuss free.
It's not a large venue but the seats are comfortable.
Just love this gem!
Great productions... as good as Broadway, some even better
This theater has come a long way from what it was when we first attended events here. They've replaced the seats with more comfortable ones, and they seem to have solved the terrible acoustical problems that plagued their productions badly enough that we stayed away instead of being frustrated.
The children enjoy maybe the first few minutes of show then their uninterested and fidgeting the rest of the performance
Super Star (April 14) was out of this world!
And the Master Class (April 24) & Staged Concert LA BOHEME (April 27) were superb. BRAVO to the Conductor Father Alphonse Stephenson, Stage Director Ed Perretti, the first class opera performers and the Orchestra of St. Peter by the Sea.
Was here for the first time for the taping of a comedy show.
Excellent facility for events such as this.
A wonderful theater in a local community great shows good prices
Another great local theater. I've seen over two dozen great shows there, maybe more. Just saw A Few Good Men. Very enjoyable.
I was in a show, had a great time! Met so many wonderful people and it was a great learning experience for me.
This seems like an amazing theatre and I can't wait to perform in Howell PAL TC's "Hairspray" this summer!
We saw a tribute to Bennie Goodman's performance at Carnegie Hall. The performance music was inspiring and the MC and lead clarinetist made the show feel like he came to your house gave the history of the pieces and knocked them out of the park. Very cool show, very cool place.
We'll done performance of a great old show in a nice, fresh, comfortable venue.
Great concert honoring Harry Eichhorn - former Manasquan band director, Ocean Grove Summer band founder and director and Ocean Grove lifeguard.
Amazing talent on stage and off! We are never disappointed!
Wonderful show. Mama Mia was awesome. Great music and acting
I feel like this deserves 0 stars. My theater arts class and I went to go see Fahrenheit 451. The guy was narrating the whole time and there was no backdrop and nothing made sense. I didn't like it. It wasn't funny at all. It was a one man show, and made absolutely no sense to me or anyone else. I nearly fell asleep and everyone in my class said it was absolutely horrible
Saw A Chorus Line which is one of my favorites & they performed it without a flaw! Just like Broadway only closer & a little less expensive. Sat in the 6th row center & I couldn't ask for a better seat. This was my first visit to the Algonquin & it was very easy to find & park. If you can, go see it. They are performing till August 19th.
Great theater in downtown Manasquan that produces musicals and plays.
Nice small regional theatre. Cast and crew do an excellent job and the prices are reasonable.
I went there for the first last week and the experience was wonderful!! I saw A Chorus Line and enjoyed the show very much!
One of the best theatre's too attend a performance on step away from Broadway
Family tradition to see a performance for the holidays... we saw Annie today... it was fabulous... such tremendous talent... happy holidays to all
Never been disappointed in any of the 30 performances we have seen. Great value for the money. Just don't expect Broadway
Popular Local Theatre - We always try to get tickets to a few shiws during the year!
Our granddaughter had her beautiful dance recital there.
It's a hit and miss on the plays. Prepaid for 4 different plays and only liked 2 of them.
Great shows & very well organized. Cleanest bathrooms
Newer seats are comfortable and shows I've seen are outstanding!
Not a bad seat in the house, but needs additional bathrooms. Go before the show!!
Play was terrific. Seats were uncomfortable. Management says new seats and people were moving around in their seats because of the play. Not true, I spoke to at least 7 people that said same as me, seats were in uncomfortable.
Wonderful evening. Great show Camelot. Broadway caliber
The concert by Rockapella was wonderful. The harmonies incredible. I highly recommend this show.
Undergoing major renovations in 1994 from a rundown movie theatre built in 1938 into a performing arts center, The Algonquin Arts theatre is a gem in the Jersey Shore producing high quality local shows all year round. Performances range from musicals, plays and concerts. AAT also have a massive educational aspect teaching children and even adults all year round.
Great hometown theater with a variety of shows, plays
Good shows featuring local talent. Reasonable prices. Bathrooms still an issue
The show was great but the seats were old and very uncomfortable. Most people were moving around in their seats because they were so uncomfortable.
Excellent show, high quality of cast, good value, all seats have good view
Nice small venue
WOW! WOW! WOW! Every time I ve had the opportunity and pleasure to see a play at your theatre, I ve been extremely pleased in the production. When I went with a group to see My Fair Lady, I went home that evening and purchased the last two remaining seats for the next and final show the next night. Steel Magnolias, I also saw twice. My grandchildren, daughter-in-law and I enjoyed Annie together. Having just seen A Few Good Men this afternoon, I had to post my positive review. The actors and actress were amazing! I many times forgot that I wasn t seeing Tom Cruise on the stage. The goosebumps appeared on my arms several times during the intensity of the trial. Congratulations to the entire cast for a wonderful and extremely entertaining afternoon!! Thank you Marti Bookstein for introducing me to this Jewel of Manasquan!!
Great small venue to see a show. Not really a bad seat in the house! Very helpful staff.
They care about their patrons, and that is important!
Saw a wonderful show - Camelot. Powerful performances. Wonderful music and voices.
Went to see the movie Grease, had a great time! Awesome place!!
What a great secret theater! Can't wait to go again.
Great performances, great shows! If you have an opportunity to see a show, don't miss it!
Took my kids 7+4 to the showing of the Velveteen Rabbit. I loved the players unique interpretation on a childhood classic and a beloved favorite nighttime story of both my myself and my kids. The theater is intimate and i can't imagine there is a bad seat in the house. We can't wait to see their next family performance. Big new fans here. Highly recommend for families with young kids. Very affordable. I wish we had pictures to post but we only took selfies. Trust me this place is a winner for your family.
First time at the Algonquin. Beautiful, intimate regional theater. Acoustics are good but noticed actors were wearing mics so maybe it was the sound system that was good.
A lot going on here. Will keep track of upcoming performances and come back. Not necessarily Broadway quality but prices are reasonable and no traveling to the city. And who knows, you might witness a future star in the making.
marcus is worst actor he can t sing, act and dance. he lies and makes up stories I think he should be fired
Small town theater with a worldly air. Great talent in a variety of shows, and is sure to cater to all ages and interests with one performance or another. Updated bathrooms now, too!
This theatre should be ashamed of it self...They are abusive to thier employees & also lie. The civil rights of this country should look into this establishement...state should close them down....dirty. They are discriminate older personal.
Excellent program. Great venue. Keep me informed of future events please.
Friendly neighborhood live action and movie theatre that is a great part of the community. Live shows, movies, and community outreach are part of their mission. the theatre is easily accessible from Main Street, and the seating is comfortable. The Algonquin is a great community gem!
