Why Our Patrons Love Us
5 stars Visited for the first time this weekend and loved it. The playhouse is very quaint and intimate. There's not a bad seat in the house. I can't wait for my next visit.

5 stars I have been coming to The Camino Real Playhouse for many years. The quality of acting and directing is second to none! If you have not been here you must check it out. The current play running is The Addams Family. I was at the invitational dress last night and was blown away! The set design is phenomenal. The play is a combination of comedy, music and lots of fun! Everything I have seen there is award-winning. Check it out you won't be disappointed. It's great to support live theater!

5 stars Quaint little theatre in the heart of San Juan Capistrano. Not a bad seat in the house. My husband and I attended the matinee and just saw "The Sunshine Boys". Great show, very funny and excellent acting, we really enjoyed it. Go see it if you have the chance and enjoy a nice dinner in town after. You won't be sorry

5 stars Very nice venue to see a play. We went to see the Odd Couple and hard to believe anyone can stand up to the original Oscar and Felix, but the cast was awesome! Really like the way they change scenes, no curtain so you get a peek at how things work. Very professional show and looking forward to going back again for another show. Highly recommended.
