Reviews
"Went here for an underground EDM show and it was okay. Not accessible bathrooms and seems to need a sweep or so. Fit the vibe of the night but can't imagine this place being used for anything else. Service is bad once you go any level lower as well."
"We had an amazing time at Lyrical Workout"
"Awesome karaoke on the first Monday of the month"
"Theater Y is committed to providing free theater to the community. I have been to three productions there, and each production I have seen stays with me. I will say, though, that all the shows I have watched at Theater Y are intense and tragic. Maybe those are just the shows I have seen!"
"An amazing Europhilic production company. I saw quite a few of their productions in 2015: most memorable was Melissa buried in a mountain of CRTs in Beckett's HAPPY DAYS, which was entirely mind blowing. I still haven't recovered. Their real skill is in exposing what often seems so dead on the page to live audiences. Far more hit than miss. Doing it right, I would say."
