Have seen a few shows here and enjoyed every single one! Everything seems to run smoothly here and there is a great staff to guide you along the way! Great little bar area and gift shop with some reasonable prices.

I have always loved Zach Scott theater, but recently they out did themselves. Our 2nd graders went on field trip to see Tortoise and the Hare, the performance and acting was amazing and 100% engaging. Teachers and Students were blown away by the depth of the play, all connecting to a different life lesson or embedded theme. It's been the most educational and entertaining field lesson we have been to!

What a fabulous space for a fabulous experience! I chaperoned my son's 1st grade class on their field trip to see Tortoise and Hare. The cast was amazing, the costumes were fun and the set made me want to play o it...the length and pace was perfect to hold the attention of an audience of kids the. Entire. Time. It's been years since my last visit to Zach Scott, and I believe it's high time for us to start going more often! Take your kids (if they don't go with their school) you will ALL enjoy it.

Every time I drop off my son for the summer program the junior counselors or the intern don t acknowledge him, today I left him standing next to the wall by himself, his older sister had to came over to him to play with him.The junior counselors were sitting in a circle eating and not paying attention to him. To a 7 year old being left somewhere new is scary and I was hoping for a warm welcome each and every time I drop him off as I m leaving him in their hands For the day.

The Zach's Topfer Theatre is a small theater, seating 420 people, meaning there is not a bad seat in the house. They have a full bar, with snacks, so you can get liquid refreshment before the show and order an intermission beverage, as well. Their food and drinks are allowed in the theater or you can sit at one of the tables and enjoy before the performance. They sometimes even have live music performing in the lobby. The seats are roomy and comfortable and performances rival Broadway.
They also have another, even smaller theater across the plaza that seats 135 that usually puts on kids shows and some excellent one man shows.
