If you like quality shows in a small theatre, you will love this place. Lots of laughs and sometimes tears. Audience interaction in intimate setting can feel like you are watching with friends. Cant wait to go back. This is the beginning of the third season, again we are in for the entire season. Right off the Marietta Square.. you will fall in love with it!
