Best Dinner Theater Cambridge Near Me

Mike Trubnikov: Awesome and fun

Ray Leckie: Was super fun. Thank you for being a patient host and keeping the show going when we sometimes got lost. We will be looking at doing events like this again.

Amanda VanderBurg: Thanks Detective Violet Ness for an amazing night!! We had such a great time and you were an amazing host.

Deanna Patry: This was a fantastic night with a fantastic host!! Detective Ness brought out all the fun and kept us on our toes.

Anna Gardiner: Katie J did such a fabulous job I had to wonder if she was in fact an actor. Solving the murder was time well spent and Katie made it all that much more enjoyable. A high five from me!

Gregory Thomas: Detective Tom made sure that our group had a great time

Camille Tocco: great character description, interactive, really gets you thinking! fun team bonding in a virtual setting.

Justin Buehner: Nicole was great! Very fun experience.

Ashleigh Maisano: This was an absolute blast! Super easy to coordinate and our host/actor, Nicole, was EXTREMELY fun and professional.

Carla Johnson: We worked with Troy Murray and he was a ball! Enjoyed our Murder Mystery and we solved the murder!

J D: Did the Murder Mystery Party with my Company as a part of a Branch Manager Employee Appreciation gig. We were mystified and wow'd by the acting of out host's Detective Ness and Mo Punchin'(amanda and val) They were a pleasure to talk to and made the event fun and interactive. They were able to ask the right questions at the right time to encourage us to interact while at the same time letting US figure out the murder. Definitely would recommend as a Zoom Party(which we did) and i'm assuming Live would be just as much fun if not better. Would do this again for another Party.

Kyle Horn: This was a blast! Jade did an awesome job from the acting to the enthusiasm and putting up with my ridiculous group (plus some technical difficulties). 10/10 would recommend.

Jordan Hindiyeh: Renee Maria (Detective Ness) was stellar! We loved the Murder Mystery Dinner and would recommend her to anyone looking to have a KILLER time!

Anjelique Jackson: Renee Ness did a superb job with her character role and making the game fun & lively! Had a blast tonight with my team, the murder was definitely hard to solve lol :)

Esther R.: Renee Maria was an amazing detective host! So much fun! Thanks for your energy and humor :-)

John Mathews: Fun show with a detective that adapted quickly to our problems of missing people or saying things out of order and ran everything smoothly. Great job Renee Maria.

Nancy Brown-Holt: This Murder Mystery was fantastic! I want to use them for more events!

rebecca swayze: Thank you Hannah! I mean, Detective Ness. This was a great team outing and so much fun.

Stacie Ermis: Rebecca was a great host and the character descriptions were hilarious! Definitely recommend.

Jennifer Kolar: Troy Murray did a great job leading our team murder mystery event. Very engaging, organized, and kept us moving along. Troy was a great hosting detective.

Eric Mankin: Just saw the Widow of Willesden at ART and it was fabulous, even if I didn't catch all the references. Just like 1776 last year, the show made me want to know more about what happened. Zadie Smith's metered play was so funny and clever.

Gail Stewart: Very fun show- The Wife of Wilesden.

Maggie Morio: Every play I see there is unique, special and different than the traditional Theater. The director is very astute and extremely knowledgeable on the staff they are presenting to the public. My most memorable experience there was summer with the production of 1776. Absolutely suburb. Right now is rehearsing for Broadway. I am sure that will get some Tony awards. Be curious and find out what is in their repertoire. You will never regret it.

annette jacobs: Not a bad seat in the house.

Christian Scott: Broadway quality productions in Harvard Square!I'm especially appreciative of their work with schools, my students love the Life of Pi and 1776

S BoweRs: Had the opportunity to see Life of Pi here. The show was incredible. I was happy that the facility still had mask mandates in place,especially during the heavy flu/cold season. Seating was very comfortable and all accommodations were clean.

Rick Johnson: Great performance of "Life of Pi"

mike d: The show we saw was great and the staff was helpful but all of the restrooms were "all gender" which was awkward

Craig Minoff: Incredible production of Life of Pi. Other shows have been solid too, but this one took the visuals and stage direction to new levels. Annoying that you still have to wear a mask and the snack selection is middling.

Quentin Fennessy: Shows from the ART often end up on Broadway and often win awards. Seriously. The Waitress first played here, and the Jagged Little Pill. This is a place for first class drama in the Boston area.

Stephen Dysert: the recent Life of Pi production is everything theater is supposed to be, and perhaps the best blend of high tech wizardry and dramatic storytelling I’ve seen.

Chris Grace: Life of Pi was amazing! A.R.T. presentations always amaze.

Curt Raffi: The American Repertory Theater on Brattle Street in the Loeb Drama Center is a real treasure of Boston theater. Forget the bustle of the city, enjoy amazing performances in an intimate 550 person theater all set in a relaxing side street atmosphere off of Harvard Square. Where else can you get amazing dinner and stroll calmly to the theater and never feel like you're getting pushed and shoved from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Peter Squires: Thoughtful well staged productions

Dan Drago: Very nice venue, medium sized, friendly staff. Came here to see Life of Pi.

Cesar Palma: This is a review of -LIFE OF PI- which I was lucky to attend on December 21st. What propelled me to get a ticket was an article in the Harvard gazette with the headline "Scene stealing puppets of "Pi". That unfortunately was not the case. The only thief that stole the show was the set designer (Tim Hatley) which created two magical moments: the appearance of the boat and the protagonist jumping into the ocean and bobbing mid torso a few seconds later. It would not have had the same effect without the lightning design (Tim Lutkin) and Video Design (Andrzej Goulding). A competent cast ensemble with outstanding performances by Avery Glymph and Sathya Sridharan in multiple roles.I believe the puppets could steal the show if the puppeteers were to be robed in black so that they blend into the background, a device that would have allowed the animals to come into their own. The most successful pairing between handler and puppet were the glowing fish. The rest were disjointed and did not move like their counterparts in real life. Zebras do not move like horses and bengal tiger are majestic not disjointed.The other problem I found was the in the casting. Pi we are told by an official is a sixteen year old boy who is hiding under the hospital bed, and when he finally comes from under it we get someone who appears to be in his early 30's, and with a physique that looked pretty good for having spent 227 days at sea, malnourished and in the company of a Bengal tiger. As competent a performer as Mr. Adi Dixit is, especially in his physical dexterity I had a credibility issue from the start. The initial interaction with the two officers seems to be playing for laughs rather than the traumatic experience he had undergone.Regardless of my reservations I urge you to make yours as soon as possible. It was an uplifting experience, full of awe and a full fledge collaboration of actors and puppeteers.

Daniel Spiess: Always a pleasure. Productions are of high quality. No seat is bad in this small theater.

John Dowd: Never seen a bad show here.Great program for kids here

Kevin Mastro: Just an absolutely wonderful experience, each and every time. Be it for a student performance or the next big show on Broadway, we are lucky to have such a fantastic theater so close by!Thanks ART for everything you do!!

Nick Felker: I saw a production of In the Heights here. The show was said to start at 7:30 but wasn't very punctual. The show was good, with solid production value. They didn't have any playbills though, which was disappointing. Still, a show here is well worth the ticket price.

Gopal Chopra: Erudition abounds

Amreen Rafique: Enjoyed some great shows in this theater. Their sound system is excellent.

Angus Lindsay: Amazing architecture and venue for concerts.

シッパイダーマン: 外から眺めるだけでも、とても美しい建造物。特に屋根の色とりどりの屋根の煉瓦の色模様は美しく、この模様の毛糸のセーターが欲しい。

Katherine Horn: Pretty space with good acoustics. The seating isn't that comfortable.

Louise Forrest: excellent acoustics.

Jesse G.: Beautiful ol theatre. Only bad thing is we could hear police/firetruck siren during the performance.

Karen Dauer: Wonderful venue. Great sound. Beautiful.

Sandro “T-Rex” Prates: Beautiful building

Gorana Rancic: Concert was fantasic. And Ms Amanda Forsyte incredable

Philip Davis: Excellent venue, parking garage close by or public transit available. Hadicapped access.

George Porter: Saw the Revels. Interesting.

Michael Pisula: Saw the Revels here. Great venue and event.

Matthew Ender: Good space for filling with sound!

Elizabeth McDyer: Great classical choral concert. The space is nice, old style wooden pews.

Mike Trubnikov: Stunning place. Work of art. I cam only imagine how awesome the shows are

Srimoyee Mukherjee: Wonderful experience, great seating. Enjoyed the Indian classical night.

Aditya Sarkar: This is a beautiful space, with lovely acoustics. The views from the balcony seats on the extreme left and right aren't great though.

elena breganze: This place is amazing. I could have visited just because a friend of mine let me in.

Phil A: Very impressive that this belongs to the university and classes take place here.

Lauren Armstrong: This was a fun activity, dinner was good and dessert was delicious. The actors/waiters were engaging and funny. I enjoyed a date night out with something a little different.

Michael M. Ross: Warning: Difficult finding the parking garage. It’s not on Devonshire Street even if you’re told it is. The entrance is on Arch Street. You preorder the food from a limited menu; it's not bad. Fun interactive theater, and quite competitive with clues and puzzles. I liked the cast and was enchanted by the lead actress, Bailey Libby, in Live and Let Spy. See that show!

Tom Englehardt: Great night out! This was our first time doing the cruise and we had a lot of fun. The cast was awesome and they did a great job providing a fun and exciting experience for the audience. The food was pretty good and we will definitely recommend the show to our friends.

Mary Sullivan: Great classes, friendly people, hilarious instructors.

Kayleigh Shuler: Showed up for an intro to improv class (April 2022). No one answered the door and no phone number to call, so we left. Very disappointing :(

Elizabeth: Great venue and organization. The staff clearly like what they do. I've only been to shows here prior to COVID, but a friend has also taken an improv class here before and highly recommended it. Hope they are able to bounce back easily after COVID.

Simone Stivi: The new comedy school manager is very rude and unprofessional. If you’re a working professional don’t bother trying to enroll in classes. These classes are for full time students only. If any unforeseen events come up and you’re unable to attend a class they are terrible at putting you in for make up classes and then refuse to work with you after you’ve missed two classes. Waste of money.

Diane Kaye: We went to the New Years Eve family show at 4PM on the 31st. It was beyond bad. It was abysmal. Improve Boston should be embarrassed and ashamed. Simply dreadful.It was dark (and it was a kids show) and there was no talent. Please don’t make me pay and travel to Cambridge for an entirely amateur show.

Mike: Really fun venue to spend the night with friends and family. Our group went here for a bday and we all had a blast. The show was hilarious, engaging, and overall just a bunch of fun and laughter. The small bar and snacks available were great (beer, wine, chips, m&m’s, etc) and the performance was wasn’t too long or short in length; it was just right. I highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for something fun to do in town, either for the whole family or a night out with friends (all ages friendly).

Martina: Ive seen second city live in chicago and boston improv is even better!!!! Love & recommend 3

Sally Walker: Great little comedy spot!

Marshall Versteeg: I usually get nervous that improv performers will mess up but I never felt that here. We saw their mainstage performance and it was fantastic! Plus the cheap drinks makes this a great night out.

Yuval Rykaczewski: Tonight I paid $18 to see a Trump supporter get kicked out of a mediocre impov show simply for voicing his opinion, and then for cruel jokes to be made about him and his family. I will never be returning to Improv Boston. Talk about safe spaces, I thought Improv Boston would be one, but sadly, it was not. Props to the man who stood up for what he believed in. I did, too, when I walked out of the show early. If only I could get a refund for my wasted time and discomfort.

Eric J Hepler: UPDATE: This location no longer possesses a foul odor.

Maddy Shiel: Went to the Halloween space Odyssey "Gore fest" on Saturday night. Paid SIXTY dollars for two tickets. Biggest waste of money of my entire life. This should be more accurately called "5th grade Halloween musical." The whole thing was basically just weird singing. Didn't laugh/couldn't even bring myself to chuckle even a single time. I know comedy is subjective but I couldn't even see from any view point how this was supposed to be funny. So bad. Would have left halfway through except we weren't allowed to leave after it started. 0 out of 5 stars. Wish I could get my money back.

Reda B.: Amazing experience for improv show on Sundays at 6:30… for only 5$. Great team that interact with the public and make them participate. It s funny !

Hagai Lerer: Upclose and intimate. We had lots of laughs! Beer and snack available for purchase.

Jenny Xu: Really great experience here with my friend during a Mainstage for the first time — the actors were hilarious and they were extremely good at engaging the audience in the skits and making sure that people had some voice in what the next act would be. Had me laughing out loud a lot and I didn’t expect much but this place blew me away! Would recommend as a night out with friends.

bruce r: The least funny.

c w: Sunday night stand up

Gabby Perez: Awesome improve show. Will be back soon.

Michael Manak: Battle Royale last night was brilliant layered hard chop cuts of real just what we all need to hear for a good laugh! Thank you!

Debra Falzoi: Proud of a theater that can take a stand against exclusion
