About the theater space
|
Welcome to our intimate venue, a space that defies conventional categorization yet offers an unparalleled theater experience. With approximately 60 theater-style seats arranged in a single direction, our venue creates an intimate setting that fosters connection between performers and audience members.
Equipped with theater lighting and state-of-the-art sound, venue offers a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for plays, musicals with smaller casts, comedy nights, solo and small group musical performances, and poetry readings. |
Above the theater, accessible via a flight of stairs, you'll find our green room—a quiet retreat where performers can prepare and relax before taking the stage. Whether you're a seasoned theater enthusiast or new to the world of live performances, we invite you to experience the magic of our venue. Join us for an unforgettable evening of entertainment and connection in the heart of our community.
Our Mission
Welcome to our theater, where we're not just putting on shows – we're fighting for something much bigger. We're pouring our hearts and souls into keeping this space alive because we believe there's a serious issue with connection in today's society.
Study after study shows that people are choosing less human contact, opting instead to hide behind screens. And while technology has its benefits, it's also contributing to rising rates of depression and decrease of physical activity. We're losing touch with what it means to truly connect with one another.
But it's not just about missing out on casual conversations or friendly debates. It's about the deeper connections that come from shared experiences – the kind you get when you're sitting in a theater or at a concert, surrounded by people who are feeling and thinking alongside you.
We're here to remind people of the power of art – how it makes us think, feel, and connect with others. It's about more than just entertainment; it's about fostering empathy, understanding, and community.
Sure, it's a tough battle. We've spent countless hours sorting through the dust and must of past companies, updating systems, and doing everything in our power to keep the lights on. But we're not giving up, because we're committed to being the change we want to see in the world.
So come join us in this fight. Together, we can create a better future – one where people aren't afraid to connect, share, and grow.
