★★★★★I came to this theater on 2/19 because I felt like going on a side quest. The staff were so welcoming and the whole vibe was comfy. The lady at the front greeted me in, however, i didn't have the money to buy a ticket to participate in the show. She was so kind as to attempt to get me a ticket for free but i turned her down, promising to come back the next day. That day comes, and I buy a ticket and their delicious brownies. I was only able to stay up to the intermission, But the show was lovely(the theme being love and all XD). 27.5/10 would recommend

★★★★★Local theater, great for film festivals, indie films, and more. Homemade baked goods- cookies, brownies, and cheesecake. 13 years in business. Plus, as a favor to the staff, check out the restrooms!

★★★★★What a great theatre, what a great play, what a great performance! We saw the one-woman show, "Stealing Sugar." It was funny, sad, touching, and powerful. Looking at the program, we instantly regretted not seeing the other productions of the season. There had been a romantic comedy, a mime production, a holiday cabaret, an experimental dance-circus-acrobatic performance, even a melodrama. The variety of these offerings shows ambition and energy! Most of all, there had been "Mother Courage and Her Children," one of the first plays I ever saw, almost fifty years ago. That had been a college production... I can well imagine the superlative heights that the Millibo's own recent production reached. I'm so sad I missed it! The Millibo is a small theatre, and the premises are given to touches of whimsy, but it's clearly a professional endeavor through and through. During our visit, the lighting and sound dynamics, the fascinating set, and the technical support all helped create a vivid world onstage. The solo acting performance, by Millibo Art Theatre co-founder and Artistic Director, Birgitta De Pree, was astounding, hilarious, and also beautiful. Oh, she wrote the play, too! I had not been to the Millibo before because I'm from Denver, and I make fewer and fewer trips outside town. Now, as I wrote above, I regret that - I'm sure I would have enjoyed every production at the Millibo Art Theatre this season. And you know what? It's an easy drive; the theatre is very close to the highway. Only two blocks away! I'm going to tell all my Denver friends. Someday we'll have live entertainment again, and I want to see whatever the Millibo Arts Theatre is going to produce next.

★★★★★Best place to support both local biz and applaude local performing acts! The place is full of character, staff extremely friendly and helpful, and the homemade treats are spot on. So happy to see the theater full for the Christmas special... let's keep it going all year long!
