Recapping Four Plays at South Coast Repertory

Over the Thanksgiving break Jenn and I went a little crazy and bought season passes to both Segerstrom and South Coast Repertory. The two are very different theater experiences. Segerstrom is much more of your mainstream theater with Broadway style performances. Whereas South Coast Repertory (SCR) is much more your indie small scale performances. Our season pass at SCR entitled us to four plays of our choice. That was the hardest part as all of them sounded compelling. However we made our choices and just wrapped up our first full season at SCR and loved every second of it.

We Finally Saw The Book of Mormon

I cannot believe that I'm already writing about the end of our first of two season passes to go to the theater. We started out with and If/Then followed by The Illusionists, and although not part of the season pass (bought separately) we also saw The Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses. At the time of this post we've already purchased one season pass for the 16/17 season and are planning to by at least one or two more before the seasons begin.

Theater Review: If/Then

In late 2015 Jenn and I went on a shopping spree for theater tickets. It’s something we did a lot of early in our relationship. We spent many Friday and Saturday nights at a theater in the round in Downtown Riverside. The theater is something that the older we get the more we seem to enjoy. We waited for Black Friday and Cyber Monday and purchased season passes at both Segerstrom and South Coast Repertory and also bought tickets for two separate performances outside of the season passes. In total from January to May we have tickets to go see eight performances. Our first was If/Then a musical set in New York at Segerstrom Hall.
