Playhouse on the Square Review

A beautiful intimate theatre in the arts district just outside the heart of Memphis.

A well-known, 2 level performing arts theater in the heart of Midtown. The main reason they stand out from the rest is their consistently affordable ticket prices and work with the city's youth. I've been coming here and seeing different shows throughout my whole life and I'm pleased it has remained true to it's nature. Acting can be quite uplifting and influential. This venue has become come a staple in Memphis.

I actually went to a birthday party here. It was a pleasure to be at this fabulous, spacious, cozy if you like to give a occasion. Clean,nice,and comfortable. I would be more than happy to have whatever here. The parking was great too. Truly enjoyed myself

Amazing sets, great actors, and comfy seats. I'll definitely be seeing more musicals here in the future.

Well worth the price of a ticket. Great performers.

Their plays are often better than on Broadway. One of the best deals and greatest entertainment in Memphis and beyond.

Amazing place, fantastic performances, beautiful set and lights, lovely bartenders and hosts.

Great live theater, lots of talented performers
With an extremely friendly staff.

Great spot for local live theater. High quality entertainment!

Oh my GOD the best place to take children. We went to see Peter Pan and the kids are still talking about it.

I went to see The Curious Incident of the Dog on opening night. It was fantastic!

I saw Matilda here and it was one of the best plays I have ever gone to!

Amazing performers the music was incredible. Angelo Rupan is absolutely fantastic as well as the actors , dancers and orchestra

Love this theatre! Great shows for all ages and best of all, limited parking is avail for free as well!! The kid's acting class are the best!

Fantastic plays and fantastic adult school for acting.

Exciting production of the musical "Memphis " with an excellent cast and music. Comfortable seating and friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended

Beautiful theatre, outstanding productions, friendly staff. A variety of musicals and plays to attract all people.

Small theater which is more intimate and every seat is closer to the stage than in a bigger theater! Seats are not crazy expensive and there is ample parking.

Nice venue but if you get seats on the side depending on the stage and the play somethings you won't be able to see but other than that we had a great time!!! P.S. we saw Memphis the Musical

Great atmosphere. Collage Dance Collective performed. Great show.

We do the education classes here and they are amazing, inclusive, and empowering.

Great community theatre that also offers great event space

One of the best performance spaces in the midsouth!

Bancorp South Mingle & Jingle Xmas Party tonight.. Awesome!

1st class Intimate venue with great performers & crew

Great performance of SWEAT!
Well acted, powerful script, needs to be seen.

Went and met with a young lady about renting out the venue for my wedding. After the meeting she promised to email more info about pricing, availability, etc. After I emailed her three separate times there still was no word. Almost as if she is ignoring me or doesn't want my business. Really hurt my feelings mainly because the location would be perfect for my wedding. I won't disclose her name but I'm pretty sure it's only one lady over event rentals.

We saw Matilda the Musical, had a Crunchem-themed cocktail, and thoroughly enjoyed the show!

The Playhouse is an excellent attraction for the city. I thoroughly enjoyed the decor and the musical play, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.

Loved the play. The staff & volunteers were excellent.

Tamburrino Inc invited clients to enjoy a play and a catered event. The Playhouse on the Square as a venue with entertainment was fabulous!

Saw the Peter Pan play past time I was here. It was a wonderful show.

My wife and I took our two granddaughters and a neighbor to see Matilda, and for the most part ,we really enjoyed it. The actors were great, the singing was really good, but the dialogue was really hard to understand because it's being delivered in too heavy of an accent to reflect the original story. We Americans from Tennessee have a hard time picking up on the lines delivered in that manner. The highlight of the show for us is when the young man(Steele) who plays Bruce belts out the song at the end of the production! Now there is a talent! All in all, great show at a superb facility!

Went to see Memphis the musical here as was having a community day where you donated a fee to watch, AMAZING...

I had a wonderful night in the cafe for my cousins wedding reception! This is such a cozy place!

The seats up top are kinda tight; but the shows are good.

A fun place for date night. Would have rated it 5 stars if you didn't have to physically go in to pick up the tickets beforehand.

The director that runs the banquet hall is very rude, very nasty with comments like " is this wedding over yet", the floors where not cleaned or swept. There was trash on the floors. She was pushy and unprofessional. Made us feel like we where not welcome.

Saw Kinky Boots and it was fantastic! Oh my goodness the actors were so great, the singing was incredible, the emotional delivery was compelling and I thoroughly enjoyed it. First time to the theater and was really impressed. Bought season tickets! Need I say more?

It was my birthday, I saw KINKY boots, it was fantastic and the theatre was beautifully done with concrete and great lighting

Great but could def use valet parking! Best plays ever

Saw Santa Land Diaries. The play was excellent and the hosts played the roles great and took good care of each table.

Just saw Peter Pan, my group of five adults were the oldest in the audience. However, we were very entertained and enjoyed very talented young actors and actresses!

I really enjoy their plays. I think we are going to buy season tickets.

Great local professional theater company. Nice variety of showd

Nice small theatre to watch a play with the kids. GREAT for homeschoolers and school groups.

Went a watch a gentleman guide to love and murder. Awesome play. And they lady at the front took us to our seats. Awesome experience!!

Love this place. Be it on the stage of in the audience. It's become.a.Memphis staple. If you haven't seen a play here ANY play you haven't quite experience the plethora of RAW talent this city is filled with.

Beautiful theatre and space, would definitely love to perform on it one day, for now I will gladly just audition on it! #UPTA

Great performances always! From original works to Broadway & off Broadway plays, the action is always great#

Amazing performance. Love the artwork . Seats are a bit cramped but well worth it. Intimate feeling. There are no bad seats!

Playhouse is one of my favorite live theater venues in Memphis. The shows are always fabulous and well done.

The playhouse was great, as was the performance I attended. My only concern was that I was not allowed to check messages on my phone during the performance, even though I needed to be able to check since I left my baby at home. Later I walked to the hallway to check my phone and while waiting for an interlude to open the doors to come back in, I missed 1/3 of the play.
