Topeka Civic Theatre takes a lot of pride in what they offer to the community. The staff and volunteers are always very knowledgeable and helpful. The lineup of shows seems to get better every season. The programs for Shawnee County youth provide invaluable opportunities for kids to explore theatre arts. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a show at TCT and you’ll understand how this local gem rivals venues in bigger cities.

We saw We Will Rock You. At best it was mediocre. It’s hard to imagine that there isn’t more talent available in the area. Even the main characters couldn’t carry a tune. They were off key and unimpressive ! The dinner is a joke ! The selection was extremely limited and does not include drink or dessert. The band however, was excellent !!!Overall I would say it was not a good value and I wouldn’t recommend it.

The food was great and the play was great! I loved the humor. Would have preferred a table for two; however, the other people we sat with her a good match with our personalities

Check out TCT. You get a great meal and a great entertainment event. This season, we saw Elf, In The Heights and Singing In the Rain. We have also enjoyed Radio Players and Laugh Lines. Check their website for options.

Without knowing anything about the Topeka Civic Theatre, we decided to take a chance and purchase tickets. I will describe the theatre as cabaret style. That is, attendees did not sit in rows of chairs, but at tables with chairs surrounding it. We knew that the performance of the Explorer's Club would be at a community theatre-level and not broadway, but the performers did a great job. There were many talented people on stage who performed convincingly. The sets, lighting, and sound were also well-handled. A limited menu of food is served before the start of the play and during intermission. They seemed to handle some orders quickly and others slowly. The food was acceptable and it was convenient to have it served. There was plenty of parking available when we arrived. It was a highly positive and fun experience and I recommend it.
