Saw a private show produced...directed ... And acted by fort worth lawyers and judges. Totally fun. They did a great job. The venue was very nice. Easy to get to... Parking was a snap. Did not see any ramps... Just stairs to get up to the venue.

I had the pleasure of attending a performance of The Color Purple at the W.E. Scott Theatre at Arts Fort Worth, and it was breathtaking. The venue itself is fantastic, providing a comfortable and immersive atmosphere. The talented actors brought the story to life in a truly remarkable way. I couldnt have asked for a better evening. Five stars without a doubt!

The message given to the audience was ok but the performance was not all that great also, they need to have the kids dress appropriately or better for each performance not just have them wear a t-shirt jeans/shorts and sneakers. Thats a sloppy way of dressing for a performance. Overall in general a better improvement needed.

We come to the Scott theatre every year for The Littlest Wiseman, not just to see it, but to participate in this beautiful pageant of the nativity. Its a wonderful Christmas celebration that is given freely to the city of Fort Worth and all its residents. Each year it features the Dorothy Shaw bell choir, the Texas State Men and Boys Choir, the Texas Girls Choir, members of the Fort Worth fine Arts Council, and multiple talented cast and crew members. This sweet play has been going on annually each Christmas season in Fort Worth for over 50 years and is a beloved tradition, internationally renowned, cradled in the hearts of thousands who often come back each year to see and hear this wonderful reminder of the reason for the season. Its always performed in the first week of December and you can reserve your tickets online by searching for the play by name and navigating to its website.
