Reviews of Stageworks Theatre

Nicolle Nieves

I have seen several wonderful shows at Stageworks. Affordable prices with an intimate venue which ensures a great view no matter where you sit in the theater. If you are looking for a fun night out, I would highly recommend getting tickets to their next production.

StageworksTampa Caught the matinee of The Color Purple today. They slayed this show. The singing was PHENOMENAL. ALL of this cast is extremely talented. DON'T MISS THIS PLAY. You will be surprised, cry, laugh, shout and applaud 👏 🙌 ❤ 💙 Please support them all. I'm so glad I attended. What a great afternoon. Thank you all!!! …

As a Cuban family we went to go see Christmas Contigo. It was hilarious to watch the characters portray, what a Cuban family does pretty much every Christmas. This is truly a heartfelt, fun, and proper interpretation of my culture, which is so often under and poorly represented.

Christopher Morales

A regional theatre that produces challenging and engaging work in an intimate and creative setting. Professional production quality for the half the ticket of a touring house.

Piper

Intimate theatre w/ comfortable seats. The art work on the walls was fabulous!! Staff incredibly friendly and nice.. More signs are needed outside, especially by the parking garage, for first timers to find the theatre though..it took us 10+ minutes to find it after we parked.

Cheryl Pollock

Experienced The Color Purple opening weekend. Incredible cast and amazing production! Inspiring and riveting. Love the intimate theater experience. Welcoming staff and friendly engagement. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

John King

Really enjoyed the Tampa Rep show at Stageworks tonight, A Doll's House Part 2. Great venue, great show.

Kaitlin Coleman

Every time I enter this theatoe, I am transported into the character's world. The stage is beautifully crafted, the effects are spectacularly executed, and the actors are just phenomenal! I love this place so much and all the people there are just so amazing!

Kathy McDonald

We consistently have a great experience at this small theater in Tampa's channelside district. So much so we finally became subscribers a few years back. This is intimate theater at its best. The acting is excellent, and the stagecraft does a great job of putting you in the place of the show.

Lauren Brigman

The best shows in all of Tampa Bay! The performers are always on point. I love black box theatre. If you haven’t been, check it out. Only 99 seats so every seat is perfect! No microphones bc there isn’t a need! You are immersed in the production yourself! I see nearly every show there!

William H.

An intimate 100 seat theater with stadium style seating. Saw Evil Dead The Musical on opening night on 10/22/21. What a great show, highly recommended. Very entertaining with lots of laughs. The theater and show were much better than I expected. I will be going back to see additional shows in the future.

Wow! What a show. Spouse and I had the pleasure of visiting the Stageworks Theatre on the final weekend of The Diary of Anne Frank. What an amazing experience. Each performer was perfectly cast, compelling in their character, and humbling to watch. I left there feeling exactly the way you should feel when you experience this story - heartbroken but ignited for progress and equality.

Rhonda Johnson

I saw the color purple and it was AMAZING!! I can't wait to see other shows there!

Jerri Menaul

I have enjoyed every show I've seen at Stageworks. Most recently was "The Diary of Anne Frank." For obvious reasons - this is a difficult show. However, the Stageworks production was by far the BEST I have ever seen. From the development of the characters, the dealing with difficult topics, drawing you into the story, handling of conflict and so much more was absolutely masterful. Karla Hartley outdid herself and the cast responded amazingly. Tampa is incredibly fortunate to have this gem of a theater.

Jon Schneiderman

Intimate little theatre. We saw Anna In The Tropics, it was a wonderful experience. My only issue was with some of the patrons, who thought it was OK to talk throughout the entire performance.

Kim Cabrera

It's a small cozy venue. Every seat is a good view of the stage.

LARAE ROUNDTREE

Went to see... 12ANGRY MEN! GREAT PERFORMANCE by all cast members ... going back soon to catch another play. SMALL theatre but cozy and comfortable seating ! Easy parking in attached garage. Reasonable prices!

Connor Alfonso Hodge

One of best theaters in the area by far. The show quality is fantastic and Stageworks mission to broaden accessibility in theatre makes it that much more compelling to be a fan!

Mark Gordon

Loved the theatre and the actors were wonderful. The play Anna in the Tropics was interesting, but the abrupt ending was unsatisfying.

carlo benedetti

Awesome venue for an intimate show. No bad seat in the house, cool Tampa nightlife on the outside. Good times! 😎 Saw the Cory Van Valin magic show! Funny with a capital F and entertaining as hell! …

Jeff Knaggs

What a great theatre space! Can't wait to see more shows there!

Frances Darrach

First time I've been here. It was a good experience. The acting and content were great. Only negative was the person who made my phone reservation pretended to secure me reserve seating in the theater on the first row. She said I would love the location of the seats. She spent time discussing the benefits of the different locations. Upon arrival, I was told there was no reserve seating. Why someone would mislead a patron like that is beyond me.

Purple Cat

As I have mobility issues, I really appreciated the assistance I received. The theater was "cozy." And I knew I would like the play because I had a family member in it.

Daniel McFadden

Great little theatre. It's fairly small and every seat appears to be a good one. Productions have always been very solid and the actors were excellent. STaff appears to be mostly volunteers, but they've always been helpful. They have a little bar with beer and wine that opens a little before each showing.

Supes Me

I saw "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity" on Saturday at the 8pm Show. And was amazed. I was a Indie Worker (Small time Pro Wrestler) 20 years ago and was really impressed with the Performances, use of Terminology, Just the overall experience. It's a small intimate Venue and I think this added to the Experience. I loved the Show so much I hung the Lobby Card in my Office to remind me of it. Thanks for a great Evening.

Chris Hart

Always interesting shows with good acting. A community theatre feel, but a step above. Huge space - vertically - but a small venue. Parking garage is one of the worst we have ever encountered. Free parking for two hours (just shy of a normal show) and the machine doesn't accept credit cards. Important to have excellent brakes as the exit is also on a steep slope. Theatre is great, parking is awful.

Dawn Hartley

Murder on the Orient Express was awesome. The actors did a wonderful job. Well worth seeing.

Chuck Reiche

Intimate theater and professional productions. The staff were wonderful and accommodating. My daughter has a visual impairment and the staff made preparations to ensure she was seated close to the door and front row. Highly recommend!

Jasmine Harding

It was a great theatre! Loved the show, very well done! Everything was very well organized and artistically decorated to fit the show you watched. The people working there were friendly and professional.

michael pruitt

Love this place. Wonderful place to see a show, and as a performer, great place to work.

George Olds

Lovely experience at Avenue Q tonight. IMPORTANT TIP : Pay attention to the advice on your ticket Re : GPS NAVIGATION. The address of the theater is about 1/3rd of a mile away from where your GPS will take you. Make sure to type 1208 E Kennedy which is literally across the street. Apart from that enjoy the show.

Claire Fenlon May

Fantastic place to see theatre. Excellent production venue GREAT directors and producers and actors ...enjoy the local art in the lobby

Regina Gonzalez

We were a little bit tardy, but I liked the individual seating on the side. Enjoyed the performance; reminded me of my Cuban abuelitas. Thanks m.j

Deb Camfferman

I always enjoy the shows at Stageworks! They do a lot of thought provoking plays. And they are being extra careful during this pandemic. I felt safe.

Ashley Canay Photography

Enjoyed the Color Purple

AnaMaria Palermo

Truly a local gem!! I enjoy seeing every play they put on. Exquisite set design, wonderful stories, and brilliant casts, direction, and production. Amazingly proud to have Stageworks in the neighborhood 💜 …

Daniel Pineiro

This place makes the most of its small theater! I saw Avenue Q there & enjoy both the show & the atmosphere. They have everything you expect of a larger theater; including men/women restrooms, box office/will call, and a concession stand. The concession stand served both alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks. I am not sure of what food they served bc I did ask, so I cannot comment on that. Seats are comfy & in stadium seating fashion. Just a bit cramped, hence the 4 out of 5.

Gary Gardner (GaryRG)

Great little theater. Wonderful people and the show was top notch.

Jane Melamed

Wonderful production of Blithe Spirit. Have been to a number of shows here since moving to Tampa a few years ago and all have been well done. Always a good use of performance space.

Kathy Ralph

What a very nice facility. The environment is intimate. The play 100 dresses was well performed by a professional primarily child actors. Excellent afternoon.

Lauren Ann Smalls

The best place to have fun be safe. Good food and drinks on opening night. Affordable for season tickets. Great gifts for any age adult. Close to many restaurants. Parking lot attached.

Brian M

Stage Works Theater provides a small intimate theater for musicals and various performances in Downtown Tampa / Channelside area. There is 2 hours of free parking in the garage. I enjoyed watching the great Gatsby and Psycho Beach Party here. This is Tampa's longest running theatre, open for over 30 years. We're located in the Channel District of Downtown Tampa.

Christine Vasconcelo

Great location for a small event like a wedding reception

Lauren Piner

What an amazing and moving show. Phenominal acting in The Magical Year

C B

Awesome venue. Watched Some Sort Of Show Friday night. It was fantastic. Monthy performances of comic and sketch comedy. A must see if you are in the area.

Mitzy Esteva-Grillet

Small and cozy theater with fabulous group of actors and great plays, don't their next one

Casey Writes

What an awesome little theater. Everyone was so personable. Really enjoyed visiting and being shown around.

Rafael Cabrera

Reunion was moving. Enjoyed the show immensely. Avoided all the cliches. Venue very cool. A unique, cool vibe theater experience.

Dennis Phillips

Cozy theater in a very hidden but convenient location near channel side. You are never more than 40 feet from center stage and can really see the expressions in the actors eyes.

Jim De Mauro

Providing a true "off-broadway" feel, Stageworks is well known amongst Tampa theatre goers. Located in the trendy Channelside area it offers a season of theatric adaptations of nationally known works as well as newer scripts by not-yet-known authors. Well worth the ticket prices! Excellent venue for a night on the town, with some local eateries around the ground floor plaza. Cruise line passengers will delight in finding this hidden Tampa gem.

Leigh-Anne Plattner

It's a great place to see some great plays!!! It's low key atmsphere means that you can dress up or not, either way you're going to enjoy yourself!!

Kathy Brown

The talent was extraordinary! Lots of singing, dancing, & comedy in a cute program! The accompaniament was provided by 3 talented musicians. A very enjoyable experience overall!

Grin Thompson

This place was fantastic! I was really surprised how good all the actors, singers, and set were for how small the theatre was but these tickets are definitely worth the price!

Taisa Kornelyuk

I was thrilled about the opening night since I've been to a plethora plays in Chicago; however, the play was a disappointment; there was no eye contact, acting was forced and due to unforeseen circumstances, one of the actresses was reading the script of her notes - completely unacceptable!

Sam Hirst

Absorb a little culture in your life by seeing a show here. They’re great!

Bernice Jensen

Been volunteering since the theater had Anna Brennen at the helm. Always been edgy and kind of off the beaten path. Free parking is tough to find.

Linda McGeehan

Play was awesome! Getting out of the parking garage took 27 minutes. They need to do something to correct bad exit procedure.

Shalon Mathena

Terrific experience for a smaller theater the acoustics were amazing but still not as amazing as the play Brownsville song or the actors, simply wonderful.

Juliana Henao

A great place to experience culture and have a good time. Ordinary Days was great last night, thank you for a great performance!
