There have been several structural improvements. I have been attending plays here for several years. It is a perfect place to take kids and grandkids for entertainment! They are one of the few Theatres that has lots of kids shows. It is a great place to watch wonderful musicals for adults and kids. My daughter has been performing and taking classes here for 6 years. They also do acting classes and workshops in the summer. This is a great place to bring the kids to show them live theater. Ive never seen the family shows, but Ive heard those are great too. $5 for a show and very talented actors/actresses. The productions are short for little kids (45 minutes) and the theater is very small so all can see. If youre in Hurst looking for a great show, this is the place to be! You really get that up-close and personal feeling, during each show. Second Stage is setup as a Thrust Theater. The Second Stage is used for their Childrens Theater program and dozens of other shows throughout the year. In this way, you get to sit around the show taking place in the middle.

Main Stage is setup as a Theater-In-the-Round. The Main Stage features all of their Major Productions. They have two stages: Main Stage & Second Stage. The Artisan puts on year-round productions. It doesnt matter if youre 7 or 97, theres always a show that will catch your interest. Great Entertainment! Suitable for the whole family. If you enjoy community theatre, add the Artisan Center Theater to your to-do list. The courteous, welcoming, and helpful staff exemplified community, ensuring a return visit.

The venue was clean with comfortable seating. Hopefully this will be addressed in future performances.Īs for the Artisan itself, one can not beat the immersive, fourth wall blurring format of theatre-in-the-round. Only complaint was the inconsistency of the sound. The performers were excellent, augmented by the creative choreagraphy. Costumes, although not extravagant, were a good fit for the production. The set was well designed as was the lighting. Saw Sister Act on opening night (8/26/17) and was pleasantly surprised. We drove from Richardson for this show and would do it again in a heartbeat for such a show. Great voices! Great presence! and the supporting cast as well as lighting, sound, costumes (again, terrific!!) and sets provided a marvelous theater experience. Wow! What a terrific experience! The three leads were all one could hope for and more. I snapped up three seats and hoped that the quality would be such that my wife would have her Scarlet Pimpernel itch satisfied. That is until I saw the Artisan Center Theater promo in the Dallas Morning News Guidelive. We have waited and waited for a return of this wonderful musical to no avail. My wife and I last saw the "Scarlet Pimpernel" at the Music Hall on its national tour years ago.
