The Blue Gate Theatre is a very nice place to go for an evening out. Everything is right there. We had a nice dinner and then went upstairs to a very comfortable theater and watched a great play.

This is the most beautiful building in Shipsy! They have dinners here and shops too. The theater is exceptional! Always great shows and all good seats. A small stage but big shows! The location is right downtown and it's the blue building, of course! The grounds are always decorated so beautifully and the flowers and trees are delightful. I love... More

We attended the play "Half Stitched" and laughed until we cried! We have attended several musicals/plays at this theater and we are never disappointed. The acting and music is always top of the line. We have sat in several different locations and the acoustics are great -- you never feel like you are in a spot where the volume is... More

We attended a retreat so we had a private dining room. There were 54 of us and we were seated quickly and served very efficiently. The food was very good and we all walked away stuffed.

Oh my goodness, went to see the "Half-Stiched" musical and LOVE IT!!! I guess I was expecting it to be average but my sister and I totally loved it. We are in our 50s - don't know if that helps you know if you would like it but I think everyone would love this musical.

We saw "Half Stitched" at the theatre and it was fantastic. The theatre is very nice and if this was any indication of the quality of acting and production, then it is well worth the time and money.

We had the opportunity to see a musical. From purchasing the tickets online to being escorted to our seats, everything went very smoothly.

I didn't realize that the place would be so crowded but I guess I thought that since school had started thing would be less crowded. Too many people thought as we did and so it was crowded
