Draper Historic Theatre

"Just saw Newsies at DHT and they did not disappoint! I love going to a local production and seeing such wildly talented folks! Seriously. Some of those leads and their range caught me off guard. Typically smaller productions and venues put on decent shows. However, this crew for Newsies was top shelf and on point! Vocal ranges were well greased and the passion was felt from the cast. Sure there were some mic reception hiccups and the restroom fiasco at intermission is worth a mention. Yet, that's par for the course at smaller historic venues. I don't feel it takes away, but rather adds to the authenticity of its heritage. If you know what to expect you won't be flustered or upset when you experience a bit of history at today's pace. The seating and auditorium itself is intimate as you can't help but feel part of the history of that building seeing old brick and tightly packed seating. With snacks in hand on rather comfy seats (schedule seating ASAP after buying tickets or you might get stuck on cushioned folding chairs), I couldn't have asked for a better weekend afternoon. Can't wait for another production!"

"Great experience watching the musical, Newsies! With a small stage there is excellent interaction with the cast. Great pricing, and wonderful, friendly staff"

"A small theater that can hold the key to your entertainment. The actors were well rehearsed so that it seemed they weren't volunteers. You can have a great time there no matter what piece they will be performing."

"Went to an improv show here and it was amazing. The building itself could use some updating on the inside (cracked tiles in the bathroom, old theater seats, a dusty feel overall). Apparently frozen junior is going on there (that’s what the backdrop is for)"

"The first showing of frightmare before Christmas was amazing. The historic playhouse is a great setting and place for a date night."
