Absolutely stunning renovation/restoration! I toured this shining gem last week for a wedding coming up in December and was overwhelmed with the attention to detail and authenticity shown in honoring its grand past. Very cool

Report
The theatre was small and cozy. We were lucky & got front row side seats with a great view of the stage. My husband had a broken leg at the time. When I alerted the ticket office, they reminded me that the theatre was second floor and had a stair lift for those who needed it. Four stars for this older building as it didn't have an elevator at the time and (tiny) rest rooms were on ground level. I'm not sure if that's changed as I understand there have been renovations/upgrades since we were there. The cast was a wonderful amateur group doing quality work.
