Current show Hedrick is out standing. It is worth an annual membership. Adam Rennie as Hedwig was hard to believe. Wonderful afternoon.

Dieter Jacobs

A fantastic venue and wonderful production. Quality acting and wonderful sets in an intimate setting. Delightful assortment of chocolates to snack on and some wine and beer options.

Hi Jones

I saw the two-person show about Rosemary Clooney and the one-person show for the one about Billie Holliday. I would have given 5 stars but something actors did for both shows forces me to really lower my review. For both shows, a jazz trio sat on the stage for the entire show. Three people who had obviously spent their lives honing their musicianship and sat quietly through the entire productions, moving only to turn pages or play their instrument. They obviously had to have rapt attention for the entire show, so they could watch and listen for the actors' cues, and sometimes even when the actors' miss their cues, the musicians still have to come in on time and keep the production moving. At the very end, during the bows, for the actor(s) to stand there, bow, shrug their shoulders to feign humbleness, there was not one single or gesture to the musicians. They just bowed and exited. No turn of the head, no elegant elongation of the arm, showing and open palm and slowly turning to give a "ta dahhh" gesture towards the band. Really rude and unprofessional. Lots of people help with the production, and I can even understand if the musicians are in an orchestra pit, but even in those cases, the musicians are acknowledged. Let's get some people in these productions who acknowledge the other people who are unsung artists who were on the stage the entire time. In both cases, the noise level of everyone leaving made it impossible for me to cheer for the band. Oh well. It makes me question how they were treated during rehearsals. Lots of artists and artisans help put a production together. The actors are to be applauded for their ability to carry an entire show with just their personalities and singing abilities, which they did. Sad for one little omission to ruin it.

First time to this theater with plans to visit regularly. Excellent and informative volunteer staff. Clean entry, bathroom (although a wee bit dark), old school seats but well maintained. Audio sound effects were expertly timed. A powerful performance for the two person play given the intensity and sensitivity of the subject matter (Blackbird). This will certainly be a favored entertainment venue for live plays.
