"We had a party at your theatre. The play was 1st rate, the actors were just perfect. It kept 25 of us participating AND enjoying -- you are now on our entertainment calendar! We will certainly spread the word, too!" M/M S., Los Angeles
“It was great!” Mark Wahlberg
“BEST PARTIES IN LA!” CBS.COM
"What a WONDERFUL party the Playhouse puts on! I will be singing your praises all over L.A.! SM Playhouse is a true gift to our community! Thank you for 50 years! To many more...♥" A. A. McCoy
“I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful experience you provided for my daughter and her friends during her birthday theater party. The acting activity game before the show was a huge hit! The kids had a fantastic time, and it was a joy to see them engaged and having fun. The professional show that followed was truly impressive, and hearing the kids laugh and enjoy themselves was a highlight of the day. I also appreciate the valuable lessons about polite behavior in theater. It was a great way to teach them the importance of respect and attentiveness in such a creative setting. Thank you once again for making my daughter's birthday so special. We had a wonderful time.” - Cindy H.
“YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! My daughter & all her friends had a really great time. And the show! Not only the kids but also me, my husband AND my 7month old baby (!) enjoyed it A LOT!” A. Nimura

At the end of the performance, the Birthday Child makes a guest appearance on stage and receives a specially autographed gift as the entire audience sings “Happy Birthday!"

Saturdays: 1:00pm party; 2:00pm show ​• Sundays: 11:30am party; 12:30 show
