I have been a subscriber to this theater for quite a few years. They have two stages, with an intimate feel. Performances have a local slant; local actors, plays. Sets are nicely done and acting superb. They also have pay what you wish performances that benefit local charities.

The best and most consistent theatre in Philadelphia - I have been a subscriber since they were in the back of a church, down an alley.

Excellent cast, engaging performance. 3 acts, with 1 short intermission and 1 "break". Smaller theater, higher seats might be difficult for those with mobility issues. Parking across the street is $23 with ticket

It's blasphemy to some to criticize the Arden, but more often than not it's exhausting to sit through a play there (on the main stage, anyway).

I've been a subscriber for the past two years. The shows are well acted, directed, and produced. The set designs are fantastic. The theaters are small enough that all of the seats are good. My personal favorites were Next to Normal, Clybourne Park, and Raisin in the Sun.

I was given 4 tickets to see Cinderella in December. The play was fantastic. It is a great theater for your children to enjoy the arts in Philadelphia without spending a fortune. All seating is in great viewing area of the stage. We cannot wait to return for another play.

A great show - sadly only on for couple more weeks. Got great seats and performance was one of the best seen in a while.

Not the best theatre in Philadelphia. You can do much better attending elsewhere. Amateur shows pretending to be professional here.

My wife and I recently saw a play at the Arden Theatre, and believe me it was great, we saw Rasin In the Sun. It was so intimate, like the actor's were in your living room. It's running at the Arden until April 21, 2013 Fantasic play, offering great drama on the performing stage. The cast is mainly African American's... More
