Great little place to see a play. Love the historic feel and pictures of so many people that have played there. The town was all lit up for the holidays so it was a gem.

The play Sheer Madness is engaging from start to finish. Time flies by as it is Witty, delightful entertainment and the actors are superb. As we left the theater my husband and I both said "let's come back and see it again."

Cooper grodin’s performance was spectacular, not to be confused with the adjective used in an old Seinfeld story. Omg so good...thank you ivoryton for introducing me to this talented perfomer.

I saw A Chorus Line last summer and it was awesome. You are close enough to see the details on the performers faces, hear the individual voices, and see the beads of sweat rolling down the actors’ faces. It’s a nice theater, with a lot of history. There are also great restaurants right across the street for before and after theater fare. My daughter and my mom came, and we loved it. We can’t wait to go back for another show!

Queens of the Golden Mask is a show to see. Timely and very well presented.

It was my first time at the Ivoryton Playhouse. I saw Once, which was excellent. The theater is charming, has a big stage and comfortable seating. Great Experience.
