Reviews
"Older, small theater that met the needs of the play. We went to watch the The Office Parody and really enjoyed it. It was funny (with a lot of sexual undertones) and the cast was excellent and talented. The parody was on the third floor of the building. Once you get onto the floor. There was a team member there to provide direction and information. Service was extremely friendly and it really was a cute set up. They had backdrops in the open area for photos. Our seats were RORCH, Row B, Seats 2,4,6. I don’t recommend the second row. You will definitely miss a lot if someone is sitting in front of you. The second row is not elevated and is the same height as the first. They do alternate the seat location to see in between heads but unless you’re only looking straight ahead, you’re missing what’s going on."
"It was ok. They desperately needed new seats. Once you sat down, it was hard to get up, but the play Winesday was cute, and they wine tasting was a plus also. Ths singing was a lot, but in a good way, very funny and energetic."
"We came to see perfect crime. The theater is small and old. Some would say historical and intimate. We certainly didn’t find the theater objectionable and before the play started we were very excited because we were so close to the Stage. There’s probably not a bad seat in the theater. Apparently there have been well over 14,000 performances there. That being said we were very disappointed in the play. Although the acting was good the play itself was nothing less than confusing. We were completely lost the first 20 minutes and as time when on it didn’t get much better. We left just as confused and never really understood who killed who and why. I would recommend the theater but not the play. “The perfect Crime”"
"Saw “Parody of Friends” and was a great show. The actors portrayed the characters really well. You most definitely need to be a fan of friends to enjoy the show. The theater itself was smaller than expected and the entrance is on the side of the theater with an elevator to get to the level the theater is on. Just remember to “Pivot” and remember “How you doin’?”"
"Came to see The Office parody and it was so great! Small venue so it was super intimate, and we were very impressed by the cast. They have themed drinks ($20 each) & candy for sale (cash or credit card) and it was all in all a great night"
