Woodlawn Theatre

I saw Jade Esteban Estrada in "The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs" and his performance was phenomenal! His powerful performance, which is accompanied by appropriate slides on a screen behind him, keeps the audience riveted on his every word. You'll never look at your iphone the same again. This show is a definite must see!

I love everything about Woodlawn Theatre! They are top of the line in service and the shows are ALWAYS amazing! I've seen three so far and I can't wait for the next. ...and they have wine!

I have been to the Woodlawn twice now. Once they were gracious enough to donate their space for the Vagina Monologues (kudos for that). During that performance they offered a two for one deal on the Full Monty tickets. I was SOLD! I am so happy to see that they rescued this theatre and are trying to bring it back! The front entrance and neon sign out front totally set the scene! The cast for the Full Monty was WONDERFUL and that stage props were out of this world for a non-profit! They did a great job on the production!

Here is my list of possible improvements for the theatre itself... the bathrooms were a little rough, they spent quite a bit on the sinks which were very nice but the paint on the walls but a little crazy and you can tell it has about 100 layers under it. Replace the floral prints with a few theatre posters and that will be an instant easy improvement. There is a what I suspect to be an  old neon light in the celling of the bathroom, get that back to working order would be a nice touch.  The seats are a little old, once they get some money in the bank it would be nice to see the old or vintage looking red velvet seats. Also I was a bit disappointed they didn't have the balcony open. I think they are using it for lighting instead but I think it could be a wonderful addition to add that.

I think there is a diamond in the rough here. The performance was wonderful and I see so much potential here! I have worked in the non-profit field for many years so I understand what they are up against with funding. Keep supporting this theatre and good things will be in the works, I know it.
