    Norshor seating

    Seats are way too cramped especially in the balcony. Noticed several larger people had to try to move . I myself had a little room to spare but not much. Hard to get in and out of with so little room.

    Very nice theatre, just bigger than "small", yet still fairly intimate.

    My wife and I came here to see "It Runs in the Family". The theatre is smaller than I thought it would be, but as we were dead center in the second row, that didn't really matter. It definitely isn't a big theatre, but it's...More
