Sarah Sackett: Its a very intresting place with lots of things to learn.

Dewayne King: The music sounded so great and professional.

Frank Caballero: Wonderful venue for a concert! There are some Very talented musicians at U of M Flint! 😊👍

Carnie Palmer: My daughter & I saw Bobby Seale last night.

Susan Gano-Phillips: Outstanding performance of My Children! My Africa!

Chloe Vinson: I went to see the musical Henry Box Brown. It was the best musical/play that I have ever seen!

V.M. Marinco: Very nice theatre.

Brian Weidman: Great place to have a dance recital how ever. There are only two bathrooms on the lower level. Pray that you don't have to go at intermission.

Glen Gronau: Watched and awesome recital of the SSGA dance studio tonight at the U of M Flint auditorium.

-blujay810 -: Because it was clean, secure, and the bathrooms weren't completely destroyed

Niki Strickland: Intimate setting. Less than 100 seats. The production of The Future is Female was very good. The crew did a great job with the staging and costuming. If that is the high level of production value in all shows, they are not to be missed!

Ethan Dawson: It's a small quaint theater that makes the play feel more realistic. You are so close to the stage that you literally touch it at some points. The small theater atmosphere makes the emotional scenes in any play that much more intense because you can clearly see the pain on the actor's face and it feels almost as though you are part of the story. I saw their showing of Death of a Salesman and the cast was absolutely fantastic. I have seen plenty of plays in a lot of different places and I think this is my favorite theater I've ever been to. I highly recommend seeing something here!

Judi Lieffers: Just saw Death of a Salesman! Best performance in community theatre I have ever seen!!!!!

Robert Vallier: Nicely done. The theater looks wonderful and this production of The Fantasticks was incredible. Had a great time.

Jonathan Fuhrman: Their reimagined world-premier LGBT version of The Fantasticks was the first show I've seen here. I'm pretty spoiled when it comes to theater as I go to NYC several times a year to see shows. This production was on par with professional shows I've seen in New York. I was blown away with the quality of the actors, set design, and how absolutely moving this was. I can't wait to see another show here!

JuliAnne Diesch: An extraordinary production in an intimate setting! While the theatre is small (seating fewer than 100, I believe), the staff maximized every part of the lobby and display cases to "set the stage" for the production. Last night we saw The Fantasticks as it has been rewritten by the playwright; it was phenomenal. The new concept merged with the incredible talent was a powerful and wonderful experience. This production is running through Father's Day 2022 - get there if you can! Or come for one (or all) of the next several productions. The lineup is incredible! Photo includes performers, staff, and a supportive mom!

Katherine Jennings: The Secret Garden was a great play

Philip Harris: Great play

Sharon Lamson: BEWARE!!After a thorough search of their website and emails I received Friday evening, I saw no place mandating a mask during the play, therefore, my husband and I purchased tickets for their Saturday, Oct 23rd 7:30pm show.To our surprise and disappointment when we arrived, we were told we had to keep masks on during the total show. I do not oppose companies mandating mask wearing, that is their prerogative.  But when it is not posted anywhere on their website, nor on the site where we purchased the tickets, not even on the door prior to walking inside, then it is wrong.We ended up having to walk right back out the door.  We have both been vaccinated and have asthma, therefore cannot wear a mask for that period of time.Had we known prior to purchasing the tickets of their mandate, we would not have done so.We feel we were cheated by their non disclosure and are not happy about this, and the lady at the door was not friendly at all. Nor did they respond when I emailed them about this problem. We will not be supporting this community players again.

Bruce Powers: Hooray for community theatre!

Laura Mauck: Smaller venue but so much fun. I volunteered to usher and had a great time. The actors had me cracking up. The seats were quite comfortable. Sound and stage design went great with the play.

Charlotte Thomas: The Show was awesome

Leona Powell: Nice,organized,staff seemed friendly. The show I saw was well played. My first time, but hopefully it won't be my last...

Sherrema Bower: The New McCree Theatre is one more locale that makes Flint a great place to live. Offering community theatre in the African American tradition, McCree's shows are a must-see. Their plays and musicals feature rich storytelling in drama, music, dance, poetry, spoken word, and narration to depict the sorrows, triumphs, and daily lives of African Americans in various places and historical time periods, from long ago to today. Musicals that highlight the tunes and dramatic lives of Motown, Berry Gordy, and the ascension of groups like The Velvelettes, The Supremes, and artists like James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Tammy Terrell, and many more - both names we recognize and those lost to obscurity - are given new life again as their stories are told onstage with rich musical vocals, lively narration, and costuming appropriate to the times. McCree's gospel plays depict the rich musical history of Mavis Staples, James Cleveland, The Caravans, and more; while other plays and musicals tell the story of the Civil Rights Movement, such as "Detroit, 1968," and "The Saints of St. John Street" in Flint; interracial love like "Memphis;" Black-experience depictions like "Purlie;" and classics like "The Wiz."These shows and more, including film screenings and concerts by local groups and choirs and nationally known names, like The Dramatics, make McCree a vibrant community theatre. McCree also sponsors and hosts afterschool programming in the creative arts and shows specific for introducing the arts to young, creative minds. Finally, McCree's Executive Director, Charles H. Winfrey, is a Flint playwright, having penned such musical plays as "Christmas at the Crossroads," "Give Me That Old Time Religion," "Those Dazzling Divas of Motown," "Voices from Heaven: The Story of the Caravans," "Rock the Boat: The Fleming Williams Story," "The Motown Story," and more, have all graced McCree's stage and some have gone on tour. Together, its featured concerts, shows, films, and dramatic arts programs make The New McCree Theatre a community center for creative and performing arts, well known for weaving tapestries of musical memory.

phil phelps: Very nice place! The seating was comfortable and the seats weren’t crammed together so everyone has enough personal space. They have easy access for people who use wheelchairs. Overall this is a beautiful venue.

James V. Melton: It's the place for the Fine Arts

Lashondra Bedford: Great shows

sooz noos: I attend the Step Crew performance at the Capital Friday, March 17. It was fabulous and so was the theater. Having never been to the Capital, I was impress with it's decor and elegance. The staff and volunteers who assist the patrons were very polite. A big shout out to the cleaning staff, in particular the gentleman who found my wallet ( yep, lost it that nite) and took the time to drive out to my home the next day and return the wallet to me. My bad, that I didn't get his name. But a million thanks and blessings to him!
