The Keeton — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

The Keeton does not have good food. It is best described at school cafeteria food. They always have a salad to start that isn’t bad but can be scant on dressing. Everyone gets the same food, and this time we had baked chicken with bbq sauce (mine had very little bbq sauce), corn, macaroni and cheese (that was dry), and a small roll. They always a dessert with it that is usually not too bad. This time it was chocolate cake, which was decent. They don’t have any ability to make accommodations for people with allergies. At intermission, they do offer cookies and other treats that you can buy (cash only). They only offer very limited drinks including, coffee, tea, and water.

The service there is all volunteer-based and will change with each performance. They are usually very good and make sure to keep drinks filled, and help with delivering food to each table quickly and efficiently.

However, where The Keeton shines is in atmosphere and in their performances! You can tell the cast and crew all care about the performance and want it to be the best! I’ve enjoyed several shows here and it’s nice to have a more intimate setting so you feel like you are up close to the play. It is always enjoyable and they really do work hard to put in a great performance.

Overall, a fun place to go with people of all ages (children to the elderly) that will all enjoy it but do not expect much...

We have very much enjoyed four years of performances at The Keeton, the last three as season ticket holders. The quality of the performances, as well as the staging, have nearly always been of high quality, particularly considering the challenges of the stage size and the acoustics of the room.

Tonight, we saw "Company", the last play of the 2024-25 season. As usual, the performance quality was high. Unfortunately, the play itself was a depressing, maudlin evaluation of marriage that left our entire table flat. Written by Stephen Sondheim, (never known as a ray of theatrical sunshine, despite being a highly esteemed playright and composer), this play was an unfortunate choice to cap off what had been an otherwise delightful season.

In looking ahead to just the first half of 2025-26, we first have Ragtime, a musical with a plot focused on class conflict at the turn of the 20th century. That sounds fun. The "Christmas" show, She Loves Me, is the play that became the basis for the movie "You've Got Mail". While a charming storyline, it is not really a seasonal offering. Overall, State Fair is likely the only show we will attempt to attend.

Based on tonight's experience and the upcoming season's options, we have decided we cannot continue as season ticket holders. We are saddened by this and hope the 2026-27 season will provide a...

There was a lot to like about the experience and one disappointing component. My girlfriend and I were looking for something to do this past weekend and found this theater on a Google search. They were showing the Wizard of Oz. It was very affordable at $30 per person, including dinner. The food was decent, not great, but very reasonable for the five dollar additional charge. The wait and serving staff were very cordial and did a good job. The theater was an old school cafeteria that probably works better than some of the local theaters I have been to in the past, since they had a stage. The Wizard of Oz featured actors from probably six years old to 65 years old. The main cast of actors was extraordinary for local theater, particularly Dorothy. However, the actress who played the wicked witch of the west, struggled with her lines throughout the course of the performance and really lessened the quality of the play. She stumbled over three or four lines and her delivery may have been the worst I’ve ever seen in theater. I noticed numerous guests in the crowd looking around with puzzled faces at her less than stellar performance. With that said, we still enjoyed our evening and found ourselves economically entertained for a Saturday night. I would recommend trying this place for theater lovers. Overall, a fun night out and we will...
