Reviews
Though online reviews for Adventure Theatre are still growing, many of the company’s past plays have been reviewed. The Washington Post also featured the theater's renovations in a 2007 article:
- That sense of close comfort is a hallmark of the venue, key to helping children enjoy their first theater experiences. The theater decided to maintain the "cuddle factor" by using benches rather than individual seats so parents can stay close to their kids. – Michael J. Toscano, Washington Post
