Reviews
"The venue is small and intimate. I enjoyed the ambiance quite much. The piped artificial smoke in prior; although the look was alluring, it carried an odor and made quite a few elderly folks in the audience cough. The show started late, which was a bit off putting, but the wait was definitely worth it. Loved loved loved the experience."
"We were excited to see Black Nativity on 12/16. Unfortunately, the theater was so brutally cold that it wasn’t possible to do anything but trying to keep warm. It was incredibly uncomfortable. The exits were just next to the stage, so we tried to not leave and interrupt the audience, but half way through the first part we just couldn’t stand it any longer and left. Then we went to the front desk and complained and asked for our money back, but we were informed that “all sales are final.” It was an awful experience all around. One other comment,…we went to a show at this theater last year and it was great, with the exception that the sound system was not loud enough to clearly understand the singers. I figured it was just because it was the first show in the season, but this year it was just the same. Not only was it so cold as to be unhealthy, the audio mix was not at all clear for the vocals so it was hard to hear. We won’t be coming back."
"Beautiful theatre, quaint, intimate setting great talent and performances. The building art work in and outside makes you take pride in the minority community. Easy to find and more than enough parking."
