We wanna know; WHEN. WHERE. HOW MUCH. No info on website. No calendar. FIX IT. STOP MOOCHING OFF THE GOV IF YOU CANT BE SERIOUS ENOUGH TO HAVE A WAY PEOPLE CAN KNOW WHAT YOU OFFER.
The theater itself was great and the show (Pirates of Penzance) was FANTASTIC - enthusiastic cast, talented performers and we laughed the whole time.
The box office manager is rude and aggressive. We didn’t see the sign posted about not taking video, I didn’t have my glasses that day, and there was no mention of not recording in the pre-show announcement. Plus I saw other people recording during the show, and a friend IN THE CAST asked if I had recorded one of her songs, so I thought it was okay. The box office manager came and asked me to stop recording during the show, which I completely understand and I did right away. But after the show, he ambushed me as soon as I exited the theater, demanded to see my phone and watch me delete all photos and videos I had taken, and insisted I should have known better because in any respectable theater you can’t take videos or photos. He didn’t introduce himself or use any degree of politeness at all, and was very aggressive and demanding in his body language and tone. I did delete the videos on the spot, but when I refused to give him my phone or let him see it, he was angry and told me “if I see these photos posted anywhere we’ll know exactly where to go”, which sounded very threatening. I had no intention to post the photos, I was just taking them for my friend who had asked, but even if I had, Pirates of Penzance is public domain, there are no copyright issues.
I am friends with the musical director and assistant director, and apologized to them both profusely and asked them to apologize on my behalf to the cast if my recording made anyone uncomfortable - that was not my intention at all! But the experience with the box office manager was hurtful and overshadowed what otherwise would have been a really wonderful evening for us.

I have been a season ticket holder since 1984 season. The recent Pirates of Penzance came with strong voices AND great comedic acting, especially the general and the two police. I have recommended to all of my friends. Happy, happy camper! JPB
Amazing! Such a fun, wonderful, magical delightful experience. I was so impressed and entranced in the performance. Bravo!
A wonderful black box theater in the round that generously hosts community events and also stages top notch theater.
We have watched I love, Your perfect, Now Change. For about 14 years. Always at your theatre. Except for when y’all took it off you list. I have say this the worst one. We try every year to bring new people. We brought 2. Couples. Late 30 ‘s. Was very disappointed. You have deviated too much from the original script. I know you have to keep up with the times but this version has soured our love for theatre three. Some things are better left in their original state.
Wonderful intimate black box theatre with friendly staff. Long history as evidenced by decades of print memorabilia along stairs down to a basement lounge. Theatre Too is a smaller revue stage adjacent to the basement lounge. Difficult to find entrance should be resolved once construction is complete on their new lobby and surrounding area.
