About

Nestled in the vibrant city of Dubai, Courtyard Playhouse offers a unique entertainment experience that's perfect for all ages. With a stellar average rating of 4.8 on Google, it's clear why it's considered one of the best ways to spend your time in the UAE.

The theater is renowned for its warm atmosphere and remarkable quality of humor, thanks in part to the extremely passionate staff. They bring their love for the performing arts to life, creating a family-friendly environment that features both children-focused and adult classes.

One of the standout events is the Wednesday Maestro night; imagine 'Whose Line is it Anyway' with ten talented improv artists competing for your laughs. For a taste of Bollywood with a twist, don't miss their Bollywood improvisation night - it's clever, hilarious, and absolutely fantastic.

Housed in an interesting building with character, the Courtyard Playhouse boasts a charming and intimate venue adorned with beautiful red velvet interiors. Despite its premium quality, there's no charge for admission, though donations are accepted at the end.

Frequent visitors love that new shows are performed each time, ensuring a fresh experience with every visit. From acting and improv courses to unforgettable kids' shows and comedy nights, there's something for everyone. Even beginners are made to feel welcome, thanks to the supportive and encouraging staff.

Corporate teams will find exceptional value in their training workshops, especially those hosted by Salman, whose inclusive approach fosters collaboration and strengthens bonds. Amy, another fantastic facilitator, adds to the enriching corporate training experience.

Whether it's your child's first time or you're returning for another euphoric evening of laughter, Courtyard Playhouse ensures an unforgettable time. With multiple showtimes on both Wednesdays and Mondays, it's always the right time to visit this beautiful venue. Highly recommended for a magical night out in Dubai.

I recently attended a show at The Courtyard Playhouse in Dubai With Sparkle Foundation, and it was a truly memorable experience! The atmosphere was warm, intimate, and full of creative energy. The performers were incredibly talented - their improv skills and stage presence kept the audience engaged and laughing throughout. What I appreciated most was the genuine passion for theatre you can feel the moment you walk in. It’s clear that everyone involved puts their heart into the performance. 👏🏻👏🏻😂😂

We had a corporate training session (Yes, and) at Playhouse last week and it was fun and interactive.. what a place for fun and learning.... it importantly reminded me that it's okay to make mistakes, ecouraging a mindset of learning and growth rather than fear or hesitation. The facilator was engaging and friendly, as well as the place was nice. I'm happy I attended this training...

Hi parents, Our 4-year-old son had so much fun at the summer camp in 2025 and, for the first time, went on stage with his new friends. He was very excited and absolutely loved it. We’ve already registered him for the new term for September 2025. Next year we are planning to register at least 2-3 summer camp weeks ;) Great thanks to all Courtyard Playhouse people as they are amazing, kind, helpful, positive, sincere… PS. There are coffee shops and rta car parking around, no worries.
