Lamb's Players Theatre

Frommer's Review

One of the few professional companies in the country with a true resident ensemble, Lamb's was established in 1971. It features five shows annually in a 350-seat theater in Coronado's historic Spreckels Building (where no seat is more than seven rows from the stage), plus two Christmas productions -- including a dinner theater show at the Hotel del Coronado -- and a summer production at the Lyceum Theatre in Horton Plaza. You won't see anything by David Mamet or Martin McDonagh here -- Lamb's keeps things on the safe, noncontroversial side. You will see well-acted, well-designed plays, both premieres and classics, such as recent productions of Amadeus, Metamorphoses, and Hamlet. The theater also operates Encore Café adjacent to its playhouse; it serves light pretheater meals, postshow goodies, and wine and beer; a Friday afternoon tea is also offered (reservations required). The box office is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 7pm, Sunday from noon to 5pm; senior, military, and student discounts available.
