Morgan Hill Community Playhouse

What a cute, clean and lovely local theater. I love the seating — there really isn’t a bad seat in the house… the seats are staggered in a way that you can totally see the stage from every location. The stage is small but adequate and the AC rocks!

So glad my town has this theater. It is beautifully decorated and conveniently located downtown. The acoustics are also quite good. It’s a first-​rate theater. I think it adds something special to the community. The staff is friendly, performances are top-​notch, and many community businesses support this non-​profit gem.

I was curious to see if the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse had been reviewed yet, and was surprised to see only «1» review so far. I can’t believe it has taken me so long to review this great theater. Coincidentally, the first show that my son played in (as Pete Bailey), was the first show the first reviewer had seen at this theater :)
When told, «there isn’t a bad seat in the playhouse» — I was skeptical. After my son having roles in 7 shows with SVCT now, I can confirm that there seriously is «not a bad seat in the playhouse» — I’ve almost tried them all ;)
A great community theater, in a great community — if you haven’t been you should check out
, and get tickets to the next show! :)
Also, tons of fabulous restaurants within walking distance — so it makes for a great date night :) Thai restaurant across the street is EXCELLELNT — very friendly owners, and incredibly good thai food. And, Bubbles Wine Bar across the main road… very nice place as well. Plus, several more great dining opportunities to choose from down the street.

Tonight I had the pleasure of joining my good friend to see «It’s a Wonderful Life» at the MH Community Playhouse. What a beautiful theater and such a warm and inviting cast that performed! I truly loved it! I was really shocked that this place has not been Unilocaled yet!
This theater is very easy to get too. Right off of Dunne and Monterey Road where there is a huge parking lot and plenty of little restaurants to eat at before hitting up a show at the theater.
This theater is definitely a small close knit community which is really nice! The theater is small but not tiny. Our seats were perfect and it was nice being so intimate with a stage and a cast of characters. There were people old and young there enjoying the performance and it was pretty obvious that most of the audience knew someone on stage with the array of flower bouquets to greet their friends with after the show.
The sound and lighting was professional and that of a big time theater. The cast was phenomenal in «It’s a Wonderful Life» and I applaud (literally) each and every one of them for taking their talents to entertain so many people and bring smiles to so many faces. Such an inspirational show and I teared up a bit. There were cast members in the show as young as 7 who were so cute and did such a great job saying their lines. I didn’t see anyone screw up their lines! Hooray for such a great cast!
After the show we were able to mingle with the cast members and talk to my friend’s friend Dave (who played Ernie). He encouraged us to come out and audition for a future show which I might consider for fun (like I have sooo much time right? hehe) Who knows… maybe one day I will be on stage under the lights and makeup on in this theater!
I encourage you to come out and support local community theater. This is a great theater which is very easy to get to and park and not to mention a really inexpensive date with your loved one. The show was $ 17 for 2 hours of pure entertainment. They definitely have made me a fan and I plan to become a subscriber so I don’t miss one show in 2009!
