    What a beautiful theatre. I never knew about it, and went and saw “Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story”. It’s a hidden gem. Too bad you can’t take drinks into the theatre like you can at other theatres. But the setting is great for great plays. Find something on their list of plays that you think is interested go. You won’t be disappointed!!

    We had my daughter's 16th birthday party there this weekend. I can't say enough about the staff. The event was well done. And the girls had an absolute blast. The theatre itself is so nostalgic. They even sang happy birthday to my daughter, which was so thoughtful and special. Big shout out to Samantha, her customer service is 5*. And she goes above and beyond.

    Very neat theatre with lots of culture . Be careful in he area when leaving a show as in a shady part of town. Street parking. Do t go alone !

    While there will always be a place for the Royal Alexander in Toronto and Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton venues like the staircase provide an intimate venue for small stage theatre and performance. Over the past few years we’ve seen comedies that made us laugh, plays that made us think and some pretty emotional story telling that captivated us. Although im not a performer in any way I am thankful for the role the Staircase plays in our community. Definitely worth checking out a show if you see something that catches your eye.

    This Theatre Group produces fantastic shows and plays! The quality of the performances are outstanding - such alot of local talent abounds. Saw 'Back to the 80's' show and was very impressed with the singers, dancers and overall production. Great to support our local theatre group.

    Went to see the Barenaked Ladies here. Great venue for concerts. Be aware the seat numbering system is a little strange. The right hand side of the theatre is even numbers and the left hand side is odd numbers. There is also no central aisle splitting the orchestra section - you may have to crawl over a lot of patrons if you enter late. That said, the seats are a good size and there is a lot of leg room. Very good layout and acoustics are good too... Don't get confused with the FirstOntario Centre which is the sports stadium nearby.

    I don't get to their productions often enough but those I have seen have been excellent. Most of their work is very favorably reviewed, so I can heartily recommend. Their "home base" is Waterdown Memorial Hall at the centre of Waterdown Victorian Village. The Hall will be undergoing some improvements soon that will further enhance its utility to the community and serve Village Theatre as well.

    Fantastic acoustics. Lovely theatre hall. 6 of went to see The Proclaimers they were very good. My only gripe is when we entered I purchased 6 drinks no problem. The next time my friend went to buy a round upstairs she was only permitted to buy 2 at a time!!! We were told by the bar staff this was the rules. Seems a bit over the top however it didn’t detract from a great night.

    I was here at week ago Thursday night related to the above stated titled review. Besides lots of parking, their bar is just outside of the doors to where our event was taking place. Lot's of room to meet and greet people, eat, stage presentations and hold your silent auction. One of the organizers told me they cane here as it was cheaper to hold this event compared to another banquet hall in the local area. Staff are professional and work effectively as a team in servering you your dinner. Worth checking out if your non-profit organization is looking for a professional run banquet hall to hold a future event.

    Gemma New is an outstanding conductor. We went to Sibelius Seven last night. The orchestra loves her and together they led us through Barton, contemporary,Avro Part, Kevin 'laugh and Sibelius. The conductor's lecture before the performance was a bonus.

    Went here from a Wag Jag which included dinner and drinks at the Anchor Bar- really great value. Comedians were good. They did start much later than the 9pm advertised, but reservations went smoothly and we were promptly seated.

    There are over sixty in the company, and 'over sixty' is who they are! You won't find more enthusiasm and energy - did you ask talent, they are into comedy, dancing, and fine music for an audience that knows - after 40 years - that they will be uplifted and entertained. You feel the fun on stage, you hear the professional arrangements, and production values - it is wide open with vibrant personalities for you to enjoy.

    I was visiting friends and went to a Blues Band and Dance on the Sunday afternoon of my visit. The band was very talented and Cindy the singer for the day was great. They had guest singers too and a 14 y.o. boy was especially talented. The dancing was good and there were a variety of people of different ages. There is a large outdoor deck and you can cool off or just enjoy looking at the beautiful view.
