small theater inside a packing plant, not exactly Broadway style plays. Production is college-level at best. Still, the actors try hard and give all a good time. More

No bad seats, great plays, lots of combination options for season tickets. Each play has at least one performance that ends in a session with the artistic director to discuss the play. More

Wonderful intimate venue. They bring in some fabulous performances. I've seen many plays there. There are no bad seats. You are up close and personal to all the action on stage. I have a season subscription, and I look forward to everything they present. More

New Haven is very lucky to have a theater like this. Also great news to hear that they are staying put - although it seems to be in a odd spot it really is a great location. Easy access and lots of parking. Very interesting shows and for sure great talent. The staff is very friendly the seats not uncomfortable... More
