My favorite spot for Poetry however recently I have seen the Front Door Open play courtesy of Unilocal.This play was very fun and we both enjoyed ourselves. Parking is free and since there is usually traffic on Fairfax give yourself some time to arrive there, park and head out for the show.

First time here to catch FRONT DOOR OPEN with a friend. It was a little confusing finding the theater once I parked in the huge Fairfax HS parking lot. I even asked a few people but they were there for the HS game going on and don’t know where the theater was — I thought i was in the wrong lot!
Anyways. After roaming around the HS campus for a bit, I eventually figured I had to go outside the gate to get to the theater that is just beside Fairfax High. Texting a map with doodles helped my friend find it too.
Really enjoyed the play and the intimate seating. The 4-​person cast was simply amazing. As the story unfolded, I found myself totally engrossed in the characters’ struggles and was tearing up… Good thing it was a straight through 90 mins play with no intermission. Any break in between would have been anti-​climactic. Afterwards, there was a panel discussion with the director, writer and a therapist specialized in agoraphobia. The latter two had personal experiences that they shared with the audience.
A great evening and would love to come back support our local theatre community!

Greenway Court Theatre is a lovely little theatre on Fairfax next to Fairfax High School. Convenient parking lot right next door. We saw Front Door Open which tells the story of an agoraphobic woman who can’t leave her home. I enjoyed how the story unfolded and the development of each of the characters. Nice set too.

Wow! The production values in Psyche were way above 99-​seat norms. While it is a world première, with rough edges here and there to smooth out, it’s really something. Live music, dancing, acrobatics, singing, mythology, humor… truly amazing. Well exceeded our expectations.

PSYCHE, A MODERN ROCK OPERA, music, lyrics, book and play by Cindy Shapiro, is playing currently at the Greenway Court Theatre in the Fairfax District through 9÷28÷14. This ‘rock opera, based on the Greek myth of Psyche, has something for everyone: great music, wonderful choreography, terrific orchestra, great characters and acting, The music has sophistication and charm. Well-​known director, Michael Matthews, knows how to obtain the very best from the terrific cast. Janet Roston, award-​winning choreographer, and Jack Wall, musical director, add much to the production. The Greenway Court Theatre has hosted sold-​out previews for Psyche, A Modern Rock Opera, and continues to fill the theatre to capacity with enthusiastic audiences. I recommend the musical and the theatre — with no reservations.

cozy small theater! The parking lot is the high school parking lot next door. Went to see Cinnamon Girl here and it was beautiful! Amazing ambience!
The bathroom is also outside of the theater, which is inconvenient for the night showings.

A Great Theatre and Wonderful friendly environment!

This theater is close to home. I enjoy how small it is b/​c no matter where you sit it’s a good seat. The prices are great too. The I Love Lucy show was super cute. The Jason Alexander show, «When your in love, the whole world is Jewish» was OK but more geared towards an older crowd. But its still a fun night. My only complaint is the «cattle call» seating set up. We arrived super early so we had to sit around for a while b/​c they don’t open the doors for seating until 7:40 — 7:45 for the 8:00 show. As we hung around outside waiting to get our seats more people showed up and before you know it, the area in the front of the door was like a very mini version of what you think it looks like in front of Walmart before Black Friday. When the doors opened everyone pushes their way in so even if you get there early you have to deal with a mosh pit. They either should allow seating when you arrive or form a line to make the seating a little more organized.

Very very cool tuesday night open mic poetry ! There was nothing pretentious about this crowd or the talent here. One of the few left in la

Went to see the I LOVE LUCY SHOW and it was GREAT! Get there a bit early so u can get good parking. If u get there late there is a high school parking lot (i believe it is) left side of the theater.
When we got there, (we were like 10 min late) we got greeted by friendly staff and got seated right away. =)
All in all this was a fun date with my fiancé and i highly recommend seeing this show next time it comes around. Have fun!

There is a lot of confusion out there about just what exactly the Greenway Court Theatre is. Its a professionally producing theatre featuring new plays. Its also a arts education non-​profit working with the local Fairfax High School. Its also home to the Da’ Poetry Lounge, the nations longest ongoing spoken word open mic, as well as InkSlam every Summer. Its premiered critically-​acclaimed challenging new works like The Bewildered Herd and Good Bobby and also fan faves like the long running I Love Lucy, Live on Stage.
In the end what you get is a community theatre in the best possible sense: Its a hub for artists, patrons, students and members of the community to connect, experience and share together. All in an intimate 99-​seat theatre, that feels more like «home» than any other theatre space in town.

I saw I love Lucy on stage here with my boyfriend. The venue is small but i liked it a lot because there is no such thing as a bad seat. Everywhere you sit its close enough to see and listen to everything that is happening LIVE. I love Lucy was really good! the show was funny and made you really feel like you’re back in the 50’s. Everything was key on to the episodes! Too bad they only did two episodes & i totally was hoping that they would do the chocolate and vitavegamin one. i did not leave disappointed and my money was well spent!
Parking… well, i metered parked. So if you’re lucky enough to find a meter. I say do it! The only reason why i didn’t give this place 5 stars was because many people were griping about the bathrooms. Although the bathrooms are exactly how they were back in the days where you stand up in the stall and ppl can see your head. and when you crouch down its really low. There’s only two stalls to do your business and one sink to wash your hands. The ladies room had a long line and some of the other females actually used the men’s when no one was in there.
it’s a must watch!

I feel redundant but here I go… I, much like everyone else, came to see I LOVE LUCY here. It’s a small playhouse so there really are not «bad» seats. We got there late and the staff was very accommodating, they sat us immediately.
There is a lot right next to the theatre for approx $ 6 and it’s not very far at all. There is also metered parking, which we were lucky enough to get but I wouldn’t really advise it unless you have time to circle around for a spot opening up.

Saw ‘I Love Lucy’ and I loved that the theatre is so small because it made the experience very intimate and there is no bad seat in the house. The seats are comfortable and very roomy. I recommend this theatre for small productions. The only thing I found as a con are the bathrooms. I believe this place was a nursery before so the toilets are very small and low to the ground, not ideal for a tall person.

Saw I Love Lucy on Stage here. The theatre was very nice, as people have said, no bad seats and the seats are comfy and roomy. The play was off the hook amazing! Go see it while you can!

Recently. saw the I Love Lucy Play.here.and wow. is all i came away with. If your reading this and you want to impress your lady take here to the grove down the street. and eat some dinner there hop in your car and head down maybe less then 5 mins maybe 3… idunnno whos counting.
This place has free parking for you cheapskates. and they also had coffee and some pastries for those going to see the play.
The theatre is nice… and comfy… and there doesnt exist a bad seat in the house. Every seat is a good one. Get there early cuz it is first come first serve.
Good play overall. im a DUDE or guy or hombre. and i loved it. made me laugh as well as other men. Thats right. i have to say. the men out numbered the women.somewhat.
Also noticed alot of high rollers here. kinda entertaining to spot out. whos with who. and who like kanye west once said. oh shes a gold digger… while you wait for the play to start…

The Actors Lounge is an openstage that is open for writters, actors, musicians, improve groups, and film makers to improve their craft and demonstraight their work in a room full of supporting peers. If you haven’t experienced it i recommend it highly. Bring a friend, a date, or a relative.
Come and experience a movement for the arts. Every first wednesday of the month @ Greenway Court Theater. Free parking, $ 5 suggested donation the signups are done from 7:45 to 8:20 PM and the show begins shortly after.

Just gonna start off with the most important part of the whole experience. The bathroom. There is something so personal about going to the bathroom. The feeling of anonymity and that false idea that no one really knows what your doing behind that magical closed stall door.
But that is all blown away when the stall walls, standing, only came up to my shoulder. And I’m only 5’1. Yeah. That’s right. As you pull up your pants, glance to the right its like «Hey, how you doin’?» Checking out who’s in line waiting for you to finish. And the toilet seats? It’s about a foot off the floor. The whole time I’m about my business I’m thinking «thighs, don’t fail me now! Not good for us squatters.
Ahem. So let’s go into the actual theater. I love that its a smaller place. As long as your not in the 2^nd or 3^rd row there really isn’t a bad seat. You can hear everything the actors are saying. You can see everything. It’s a great little play house.
Parking was a little confusing. We found a lot down the street and just parked. Make sure to get there early. Its a first come first serve for seating.
The play we went to see was crude, offensive and with a complete lack of intellect. We left at intermission. So I’m not even going to comment on it.
