Nice old movie theatre. Kids have to sit in the balcony though, since they serve alcohol downstairs.

We went and saw a play here and were very impressed. The theatre is lovely. The lobby houses a full restaurant and bar. We did not eat or drink but I would love to go back and give it a try.

The restaurant/bar gets insanely packed if there's a show so if you plan to eat before the performance then plan on getting there very early, say 2 hours prior to the show.

Great food and service. We walked in without a reservation on a Saturday night and still were seated within 20 minutes. It helps to have a variety of seating available for waiting. We found a quiet comfortable seat to enjoy our drinks until our table was ready. The menu has something for everyone as well a first rate wine list.

Located in downtown Hillsboro. We have attended many excellent plays there. A very comfortable theater. There is an excellent bistro just inside the front entrance.

They got my order wrong but after waiting almost an hour for my food, I didn't want to wait another hour. I should have though.. because the food was inedible. The staff smell like cigarette smoke. The food probably comes from the same truck McDonalds food comes from. Ick.

We started going to the Venetian Theater 3 1/2 years ago when Bag & Baggage staged their first production. We have been season ticket holders ever since. We've also gone to see old movies on the big screen, which has been great fun (and cheap!) This year we saw Casablanca and Gone with the Wind. It has been very interesting... More
