Amazing show. And bring your own food!

This venue is such an OG Oakland gem. When you hear of Oakland, no one talks about the "top-notch production venue in the cutty woods that's super easily accessed from San Joaquin Miller Road." I feel silly for never having known this existed right up the street from me, having lived in the area for 6 years.

And not just that, the production is forreal-forreal. Like forereal-forreal.

It gets freezing, so be prepared and bring warm coats and a blanket. There's a cafe that sells snacks like pop-corn, tea and hot chocolate. They take credit cards and cash.

*The only thing I did not appreciate about the venue, nor the promoter who hosts shows in general, is that there was no mention of a parking fee which is $10--to the City of Oakland. (I go to San Joaquin Miller Park and park off of Sanborn often enough), and I never have to pay. So when I saw the map, I never thought there'd a fee. I hardly ever carry cash; couldn't pay for parking. But the parking attendant, bless him, let me through, albeit with harsh judgment eyes.*

Back to the venue/musical: I saw Gypsy on 6/15/23. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Where do I leave a review about this production and the artists!? OMG...it was AWESOME! I don't even remember getting the playbill, btw. The orchestra, the artists, EVERYTHING made me #verklempt, the power of theater--the dedication of each artist: you could smell it. The props, the stagehands, all the little accoutrement techniques of theater--it's as if I have never seen, known, or appreciated theater before! It carries such a different aura from film, from digital production. I just purchased tickets from TodayTix on a whim, to keep my daughter exposed to live theater...and it was I who was re-blown away. (Wish I had the head-blown emoji here.)

The venue and the act--all of it was incredibly heart warming, even though I was freezing by bones off.

GO WATCH SOME THEATER!

Have been coming here for over ten years and the quality of the production’s are top notch. Three plays a season, June July and August. Bring a picnic dinner to enjoy before the show. Lots of picnic benches available. The venues has concessions with light snacks. Can be cold once the sun goes down so bring a blanket and jacket just in case. Live orchestra accompanies the performance.

I've been to this theater a few times over the years and it's a delight every time. I saw the 1999 & 2024 production of Guys & Dolls, and both were great. Good job to the staff and crew alike. It's a wonderful way to spend an evening.

Truly lovely organization that puts on quality shows in a beautiful venue. Saw Gypsy a week back and there's something extra about seeing a production about the decline of vaudeville that isn't, you know, Patti LuPone playing to a sold out audience of Broadway patrons paying $250+ a ticket right?

Woodminster is a local gem in the Oakland hills. The performances have always been quite fun and energetic. The Jersey Boys was a fantastic show!

We've been going for over 30 years, being entertained under the stars with Broadway musicals. It's a lot of fun and you feel part of a community.

Plays are great. The seats should be replaced. Parking is good. Takes a long time to get out.
