Pick up a schedule of events at the Schwartz; you are sure to find some productions to your liking. Actors are top rate and the musicians excellent. They have specials that would interest blacks and latinos and their Christmas production is always top rate.

I took my friend here for a concert of her choice as her birthday gift. I thought the theater was very nice. It is small, and I liked that, it felt like a very intimate venue.
