Reviews
"Fun little theater with enjoyable presentations-4 so far for me - within a very limited space & budget."
"Came to see Murder Room w my family and wasn’t disappointed. Lively and skilled cast. Enjoyed!"
"Lots of talent there and the Sunday afternoon receptions, complete with center pieces, designed with a motif related to the play, are outstanding. Did l mention that you also get to meet the actors ?"
"Cute theatre for local performances and low ticket price but limited seating and it's hot. Parking is a challenge and handicap access is tough with brick sidewalks. Not their fault but... Membership gets you tickets otherwise they can sell out."
"Other than a hill, a lot of stairs and too few parking spots (no HC spots) this is a cozy theater (2 of them) with good entertainment at a good price. Beware that the bathroom is upstairs so the whole place is tough for those with mobility challenges or fear of ice. Wish there were a few more walkable shops or restaurants near by."
