Hale Center Theater Orem Reviews

Small theater that allows everyone to be close to the actors and the performance.

Thoroughly modern Millie was wonderful. Trevor Grayden was especially good. Love the small theater feel.

Such great productions. We always have a great time seeing plays here.

The theater is very small which makes for an amazing personal experience! A Christmas Carol was very well done and overall I'm very happy with my visit.

This is an amazing community theatre. Awesome production, always a great time.

We've seen at least three shows here and all of them were terrific. Great casting, very entertaining, especially funny performances.

Neat little theatrical gem in Orem. The theatre in the round creates a strong connection to the production and has very few poor seats. I would think the corners are bad due to low beams and distance from the stage. There are caveats with a small venue such as limited restroom facilities and concessions. Also, it is tight but comfortable seating without a lot of leg room. The production was high quality with excellent performances and good sound. It is surprising what can be accomplished on a smaller scale versus a Broadway or Tuacahn level production.

Amazing production and quality. Such a fun and intimate atmosphere.

Just saw Daddy Long Legs. So good! Definitely a must see!

I went to see the little mermaid and loved it. The cat is inventive and creative in the way they draw the audience into the story

We love going to the Hale Center Theater. We've bought season tickets several years in a row. Tons of local talent and great shows. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 are the facilities. Super tight seating, old building, etc. Hopefully their plans for a new building will go through at University Place.

I went and saw Newsies and was very impressed by what they can do in the small space, with the small space you feel like you are in the show yourself.

A small theater gives a different feel to plays. Front row seats makes you part of the play (watch your toes!) Talent and performances are wonderful!

My mom and sisters went to Daddy Long Legs, knowing nothing about the show. It was great and the actors were wonderful!

A community theater for the whole family. My wife and I have made it a tradition to see at least 1 show a year. Ages 4 and up and attend performances. Anyone can audition or take classes. Costumes can be rented.

This theatre company should be on Broadway. I've seen shows on Broadway. They are no better than what this organization did in our little hike town! (Well, except for Colm Wilkenson!) Tonight, Bonnie Wilson Whitlock played Miss Flannigan better than any actual I have EVER seen! I don't even know her but every nuance was perfect!

Super cool place. The theatre felt nice and cozy, like somewhere you could come to get away from it all after a long day

Million Dollar Quartet is the absolute best musical!!! Please go see it!!!

Awesome place. I've been going, off and on, for 20 years. I now take my own kids to shows there. I especially love the yearly production of "A Christmas Carol".

For how small this theater is, they always make good use of the stage and put on a good show.

I ve been a season ticket holder for years here and have loved the quality and variety of shows produced at Hale. It is amazing what the cast and crew can accomplish on such a small stage and I love the innovation they infuse in their shows. I also appreciate that I can trust that their shows are clean and family friendly.

Great musicals, talented actors, love the work they do, but the theater is way too small. I hope the new theater gets built quickly!

Great small theater. Odd Couple had us laughing out loud.

The performances are so well done and never fail to inspire and entertain!

Fabulous acting, amazing talent, and I love the cozy atmosphere. From Sense and Sensibility to A Christmas Carol to Thoroughly Modern Millie, I have yet to see a production I didn't like.

Really professional productions in a really intimate theater. It's rare you get the chance to see such professional shows in such a small space. Good staff too.

This place always has great plays. Go and watch one there sometime, you wont be disappointed

I think this theatre is a gem. Every show just shines. Every show makes me want to come back for more.

Actors work hard and provide good entertainment. Snacks available for purchase too.

I saw an incredible performance with some incredible actors I recommend this place to everyone

I'm amazed every time I go here. The first time I went I saw the Man of Lamancha, and it has been my favorite experience of any live production I've ever been to. I also recently saw Newsies and it was very well done, I've seen it twice before at other places and this was my favorite.

I love the small and coziness of the theater, and the performers are excellent

Christmas Carol production 2020 was great! Audience members must wear masks. Theater sat audience socially distanced.

We love Hale Center! My family always says they've never seen a bad performance at Hale. The acting and design are always impeccable and delightful. We love that wherever we sit we are close, and feel like we're a part of what is unfolding on the stage.

Always a delight, we have even made this theatre a family tradition for the Christmas Carol. They are definitely a force to recon with in the live theater world.

Amazing performances! Only when we went my wife had water dripping on her head. So I guess the ceiling leaks...

Love this little theatre. The talent is always amazing!

The theater is small with the stage at the center of the Hall. The performances are great. We've seen several plays here. Make sure you get tickets well ahead of time.

I love this theater-always fun, always classy! They are being Covid-19 cautious and doing a great job at physically distancing people in such a little theater.

Awesome place! We seen the litte mermaid money well spent..this place was amazing my kids loved that night

A wonderful production of A Christmas Carol! Not a bad seat in the house. Would recommend to everyone.

We saw the Christmas story. It was excellent from top to bottom.

Me and my family have seen "A Christmas Carol" here three years in a row and have loved it each time! Very well crafted and has a charming company!

The service and acting was amazing! Clean and well organized.

I have been going to this theater ever since I was a little kid. I love every single play that is performed. They always put so much effort into every play. 10/10, I will come back again.

The plays are excellent. They never can start on time which can be frustrating.

Great entertainment, atmosphere, show! Love this place!!!

Very intimate. Actors very professional. Always a great experience!

This place is a diamond in the rough. High quality intimate shows at a steal of a price! Get your butt down there?

Great productions, beautiful theater, just all around a great experience!

A small stage, old theater with charm and it was an amazing experience. They had a intermission with snacks and drinks. The actors are talented and kept my attention. Would go again for sure!

I love Hale Theater! I attended as a young child and now returning as an adult, I am amazed at how well done the sets and lighting are, how fantastic and professional the actors and actresses are, including their singing voices. Everytime I leave, I feel like I had a wow experience!

Loved it...again and again.Yeah the building is old but the productions are wonderful. Lower prices than most other theaters so you can actually afford to bring the family.

It was magical to see a production here. They did a fantastic job, and I don't think there is a bad seat in the house!

Having worked in a community theater as a youth I have always loved to go and see plays and musicals and Hale Center Theater in Orem does not disappoint. This is a theater in the round style stage, so you are much closer to the action (you walk on the stage to get to your seats, and the front row has their feet on the stage). Some plays are a bit more interactive and you are right there.
It is great being so close so you feel you are right in the middle of the performance and can see the expressions on the actors faces very clearly.
They are in the process of building a new location (that I am sure will have more seating), and the only fear I have with that is it may be too big and that you will miss out on the up close and personal feel of this location.

Small cozy theater. All but the far corner seats are great. Great acting, great props. Amazing that they can do so much with so little space.

Such a fantastic place! I have watched several shows here and will be a season ticket holder this year. A small theater setting in the round. So amazing how they make it all work!

Cute place with great shows and actors. It's a little quaint and cramped though.

A bit run down but the stage setup was fun. I saw The Velveteen Rabbit with my students. The performance was awesome.

The Christmas Carol was done really well and really brought into the spirit of Christmas. Thank you!

I watched Hale Center Theater's performance of Annie not too long ago, and I was surprised by how well done the production was. The stage was small, creating an intimate scene, yet the set changes and acting gave the illusion of lots of space and motion. Its a great place to watch a play, and the actors were very well chosen and very skilled.

We were a little later and they still got us in. Great production especially for their tiny stage

I love having a really neat place to see plays! The actors are amazing and the decorations are truly inventive and Awesome. I forget that I'm watching a play sometimes it's so good.

Close up and personal with the talented local actors in this cozy theater. You will all leave uplifted with a grateful smile.

Fantastic place, very friendly, you really pay for the quality of the outfits! They are also willing to hodge-podge what they have together to help your needs!

Great community theater and a wonderful show and cast.

I love plays & musicals, so it s hard to make me too unhappy with a venue. I m always impressed with what the Orem Hale is able to pull off in such a small amount of space (we won t talk about Ursula s tentacles repeatedly whacking the audience) The costumes are imaginative & fun and the talent is always amazing. But there s a couple things that need improving. The bathroom situation, or lack thereof...it s bad. Then there s the infamous south/west upper corner. Look, if you re getting tix (get some because plays are awesome!) just make sure you DON T get the south/west upper corner. You ll thank me.

Was very disappointed with the venue aesthetics when we showed up as we've been to the other locations, which are much higher end, but we were very happy with the experience as the actors were all very good. We had a great time!

It was such a great experience. My wife and I really loved the play and I now have an appreciation for Sense and Sensibility that I likely never would have had otherwise.

Always a top notch production here! I love the quaint atmosphere.
