City Theatre of Independence

This is a very comfortable, intimate theater. I saw The Diary of Anne Frank, the actors were very good. It's a nice place and a great value! I'll be back!

This is a gem of a theater in Independence. Not a bad seat in the house, sound quality is good and the ushers who greet you are so nice and helpful. I've been twice now..Steel Magnolias & Moonlight & Magnolias. Both great!

Went and saw "The Miracle Worker" and I was moved to tears. Abigail Keith as Helen Keller was subtle and moving which is an amazing feat for a child actor playing a role with no lines. Her performance was all movement and motion, and subtle changes told her story. I was impressed and will DEFINITELY come see another.
Tickets are very affordable, this is a good way to trick a date into thinking you're classy!

Independence, MO Encore Theatre and Children's Performing Theatre did an awesome musical performance of "Matilda." Great costumes and acting.
Enjoyable evening at the Sermon Center!

Went with my grandmother to a play here. Was not even aware that there were plays held here. Fun, energetic, and the ticket prices were fair. Had a wonderful time with my grandma. Thanks so much!

Community theater at its best. Check out the Children's Preforming Theater, for the young actors in your family, City Theater for continuing actors and Encore for retirees. This program is supported by the city, but mostly self-funded from ticket sales and other fund raising. Volunteer as backstage crew and enjoy the fun and craziness of stage life without being front and center. The people involved with these programs are the best! They love the theater and their dedication can not be surpassed!

Or if acting and/or crew aren't your thing, stop by for the performances! Recent plays include Willy Wonka, Annie Jr, A Few Good Men, and many more. Check Sermon Center for dates and times.

Great entertainment value. I've seen professional for profit productions that didn't have as much talent on display.

What a treat! A very good dinner and the theatre experience was surprisingly good (and genuinely hilarious). This was our first visit here, but definitely not our last.

It was awesome and very wheelchair accessible. They even had interpretation for the deaf. It only for last play of each show.

Went here to see "A funny thing happend on the way to the forum". I almost died I laughed so hard! It was so go I went the following weekend to see it again and brought a friend from out of town. Way better then the movies. My one regret is that I wish I could have gone a 3rd time!

A lovely theatre with comfortable seats and clean bathrooms. That's all I ever want to know before going to a show

Excellent, greatly enjoyed Anny. Intament seating, not a bad seat in the place!

The performances by these children is phenomenal its a must go see!

A great, cozy theater with excellent sound and lighting and a stellar local troupe.

Fabulous performance of miracle worker! Loved it!

Great venue, reasonably priced, wonderful shows

Saw Matilda. This was a great musical!

My wife and I watched the play (Mid summer nights dream)

My kid liked performing here

My first time to attend a live theater
Will return
