Circle Theatre

Having had season tickets off and on for several years I can honestly say we have never seen a bad show here. The distance from the stage creates an intimacy that draws you into the story.
Last night we saw David Ives’ «Venus in Fur» and as always it did not dissapoint. We left the theater enthralled and amazed at the chemistry and interplay between Allison Pistorius and Chris Hury. Their expert skill in the transitions of power throughout the play kept us guessing and thrillingly off balance. When we first saw that there were only two cast members we wondered how they could carry a performance for the entire length of the performance. They were so amazing and the direction so crafty, when the lights came up it was like we were jerked back into the real world and we wondered where the time went. Truly wonderful. Don’t miss this! If you can still get tickets get them now!

This magnificent theater is tucked into the basement of the Sanger Lofts building at Sundance Square, it is in between Oliver’s Deli and Leddy’s Ranch clothing store, with a modest Red Sign (of Circle Theater) and the season premier displayed on the window which is easy to miss for the first timers.
The Circle Theatre itself is pretty small. There is an atrium with a ticket counter and a small /​moderate concession area. The concession area has a few things including wine and beer, credit cards accepted for $ 5.00 and up, has comfortable seating couch, chairs, and high table. Drinks and food not allowed in the theater.
The theater is divided into three sections of seats «Center, Right and Left wing», with great views from everywhere (we usually sit on the right wing). The seats themselves are padded and have armrests. The floors are clean (not sticky like some movie theaters).
The employees (actors and staff) are all kind and friendly. The actors have come out after the show and have made pleasant conversation with their fans. (Ghost Writer)
The plays on the Circle Theatre are nothing flashy like /​or such as Broadway plays, I get the impression that they are not trying to compete with the blockbusters; The Lion King and Les Miserables, ect…
The actors most of the time are local and non-​touring group of professionals who act in these plays because they love it, this is their passion and it shows.
Another remarkable thing I wanted to mention is that the 2014 Season its going to be the «33 Season» of the theater, which is quite impressive for this little town of Fort Worth. Surviving 33 years on business means that you are doing things right. :):)
Overall, I’m hoping to bring more people to this lovely little spot.
P.S: Right now «Too Many Cooks» it is playing, highly recommended, dramatic and funny (if that makes any sense). I had a great time, but I am a theatre lover and for few of you that don’t enjoy theater as much give it a try at least, you’ll be surprised.
Hope and Gravity was hilarious, go and watch it please. You won’t be disappointed.

We visited Circle Theatre for opening night of The Whipping Man, and I can’t wait to go back. The theatre itself is incredibly intimate, you feel like you’re in the thick of the action happening onstage, and the play itself was amazing… but then, Circle Theatre always brings in incredibly engaging shows. The staff are always professional and courteous as well. Definitely worth your time and money, you won’t be disappointed!
