Giving Tree Theater

The company was made up of high school students from Linn Mar, Washington and Xavier. They were excellent at adapting to improv and the personalities shined with every challenge!
Don't forget the bus stop!
Thanks Two Guys and all.

Love this place. Truly a life changing environment for the audience and actors. Love you gtt 🫶🏻

Amazing cultural experience! Drove here from Des Moines with a group of friends to see a show. I was beyond amazed by the space and the wonderful talent. Truly a gem. The theatre is cozy, the couches and other seating extremely comfortable, the experience intimate, and the talent top notch. I'll be back and I highly recommend.

Love this place. It's so laid back. I specially enjoy that they come around asking for your drink orders. Prices are affordable for the tickets. So great!

Love the atmosphere. Plays are always good. Can't wait for Godspell.
Thats a hard play to reproduce.

This is a quaint little storefront theater in downtown Marion. I went to see a murder mystery which they do several times a year. There is audience participation with questions to get clues and a chance to guess who the murderer is. They announce who won with much fanfare. It's so fun for everybody. It's all community volunteers and directors. The seating floor is couches and easy chairs. Feel free to bring your blanket, slippers and stuffies. The staff comes to your seat to take your order. At intermission they come and see if you want refills. And at the end of the show they come and take your check. You don't have to get up for any of it. The staff is super friendly and they give part of the profits to a chosen charity that rotates. Highly recommended!

Marriage is murder was great! The owners were great and service was amazing. Comfy atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Get there early as it is all general seating with an eclectic mix of chairs and loveseats, some more comfortable than others. The venue is a little small as is the stage but that really gives you an opportunity to to focus on what is being played out before you. I have really enjoyed my experiences with this venue.

Attended one of the comedy nights at Giving Tree Theater and it was so fun. The couches are comfy and they even serve you from your seat. Chris Schlichting gave a great performance and the owner, Jamie was so kind. Would definitely recommend.

My daughter and I were there Saturday night to see The Wild Women of Winedale. What a wonderful show! The lady that played Fanny Wild was so funny. It's one of the best shows we've ever seen.

This place is adorable! Very intimate setting with plush sofas and chairs, even throw blankets to cuddle up!! Beer served in a nice reusable Giving Tree Theater cup. Bathrooms decorated in vintage hardware and books. Staff was friendly and the show was stellar!! Will definitely go back.

My wife and I attended for the 1st time and a had an absolute great time the play was so well done the actor were a hoot I'm definitely going back

The shows are a blast and the staff is always so friendly! Giving Tree Theater is my go to for a fun night out!

My husband and I were there for the Matt Stone's show last night. The seating in the theater is awesome as it's very comfortable And the ambiance is wonderful. We definitely want to come back again as we truly enjoyed our evening!!!

This is true community theater! A very unique and intimate atmosphere that you won't find anywhere else. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into every aspect of their productions and that the actors are enjoying themselves. The concessions are locally sourced from small businesses and the owners are very welcoming! They also have plenty of social distancing measures in place so you can feel comfortable even in the current environment.

This is an absolutely wonderful venue. It's a small little theater that is full of comfy couches and overstuffed chairs. There is not a bad seat in the place. The stage is right up to the couches and the money goes to charity. They have snacks and random wine, beer, and sodas. I really enjoyed the show and the place was cozy. Great place to go on a date or just for a fun show. The owners are super friendly and gave a short speech before the show.

This theatre is amazing. We went for a Murder Mystery event. Our first time there... Cozy seats is an understatement! Such a great setup. So happy to have discovered this gem in Marion!

Wonderful staple of Marion. So pleased to have gotten the opportunity to share that experience that this enthusiastic town gives to its people

A very cozy way to enjoy a night at the theatre. The cast performance was incredible. Far beyond what I would expect in a suburban town of Iowa. Whether you live here or are passing through this experience is worth having.

Love the plays at this little theater. The staff waits on u, takes your order & delivers it. Pay with cash or credit/ debit. They have delicious Carmel corn. Also, alcoholic & non, beverages.
