Okoboji Summer Theatre Reviews

Most exciting place to see great actors and live performances!

Unique experience in a "small town" ..... but not so small in the summer. Kind of a throwback, talented performers. Great to go with friends.

I can't say enough good things about the shows we've seen here. The Stephens College students and guest production pros do an amazing job. Ambiance is intimate. The old theater, wooden seats, nice patio, flowers grown by volunteers, wine/beer bar, welcoming ushers, warm your heart. Shows range from slightly quirky to longtime favorite Broadway musicals. Casual or dress-up, it's up to you. Tickets go on sale in the winter. Buy tickets online, as early as you can. Best seats go to season ticket holders, but there are still good seats left right up to showtime. Makes the annual trip to McClelland's Beach, Spirit Lake, and surrounding areas extra special.

First class theatrical entertainment in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. Always amazed at how many quality productions they can perform over such a short summer schedule.

Beehive was fantastic! Non stop music and performance. The ladies gave us their hearts. Thank-you Ladies! Enjoyed each of you.

We visited the Boji Bantam Children's theater today, and it was wonderful! The productions are very high quality and only cost $5 per ticket! Definitely worth it.

Went to opening night of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and seen a nearly flawless show! My first time at this theatre and will be back for our next anniversary celebration. Thanks for your hard work, it shows!

If you need something to do and love theatre then you need to come here especially in 2019. Go online and request a brochure. Trust me it's really worth it.

Laugh so hard my side hurt. Had a wonderful time. Super affordable, comfy seats, great actors very professional.

They always put on great plays. Stephens College allows students to participate in plays and bring many famous actors and directors to help them hone their skills in plays/production. We are going to see Mary Poppins tonight.

I've come here for six seasons, very enjoyable. The students from Stephens do an excellent job, and there are some great guest actors as well!

Very clean and comfortable atmosphere for great entertainment

I'm a Stephen's college aumni... so of course this place is great... seriously the performances are amazing

An absolute Awesome performance tonight by everyone. Even 2 15yo boys enjoyed it.

I loved the play i watched. The musky smell was a little overwhelming.

It was wonderful. Music was great. It flowed seamlessly from song to song.

A wonderful place to go for some great entertainment!

The amount of value you get for a ticket is so good! Great acting! Great service! Great show! I will be going back again!

Rare opportunity to see a show in this area. A special place with history.

Footloose was amazing! Thanks Bev Tomer for inviting me!

Great venue, great play "I Ought To Be In Pictures"

I saw a wonderful show, with great talent and a delightful staff. This is a great way to spend an evening!

Terrific show. If this was a representation of the Sixty th it was a great start!!

One of few Summer stock theaters left, so it's worth going just to show support. Quality varies a lot from year to year and from performance to performance. In general, the musicals are reliably good and the farces are not.

Godspell was awesome!! We all enjoyed it so much!! Wow! Such Talent!

We purchased season tix, 10 shows, 4 were musicals. Outstanding performances, musical talent the best we've seen in several years! Seniors get 1/2 price Sat (!) pm. Go! Primarily college theater folks, with pros added. Good times! There for 55 + summers-highly successful program.

Excellent! The play was sensational; " Over The Hill And Through The Woods" did not disappoint in creating many laughs!! OST is timeless and classic, as it has been for 61 years. There is a special 2 for 1 price for both shows on Saturdays; 4:30pm and 8:00pm. An excellent way to spend $20!

Great theater for the summer. A new play every week. Saw Mary Poppins this week

What a great theater in the heart of Okoboji. Performances change weekly, really enjoyed the venue.

Play was great, staff were fun and drinks at intermission were spot on

Everything small town theatre should be, and more. Enthusiasm, creativity and talent, making the most of available resources!

The staff did a fantastic job delivering both the show and the service. Thank you.

Had difficulty understanding the actors on occasion due to the southern accent. Still enjoyed the evening with special friends!

Fun, local attraction. Small town charm. Historical.

My wife and I had a great time at the Okoboji Summer Theater! The show was wonderful, the cast and staff were awesome, and we wee delighted to discover this place! What a gem.

Enjoyable evening of entertaining comedy. Talented actors presented a silly/witty play.

We enjoyed a great Neil Simon play. Production was excellent, acting superb, ticket prices are very reasonable.

We always enjoy the summer theater. Check the ratings before bringing kids. Quality affordable entertainment.

Great play "leAving Iowa". Great actors. Very funny. I highly recommend. Nice remodel too.

The play I saw was pretty good really have to be a bit older to get some humor or have a low sense of humor. The play you see depends on what time you go during the season so plan ahead for that
