I appreciate the intimacy in this community theater. Just saw Bill Giamona in the production, Company. Definitely would recommend it. They have done some spectacular performances over the years. I also like that you may enjoy a glass of wine during the performance, not just during intermission. Of course, they always have great cookies too. :-) :-)

Nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Venue varies throughout the year. Saw Come back little Sheba yesterday. Great performance! Fantastic actors. Small theater. Fills up fast. Never a bad seat. Can be chilly inside so bring a sweater. Coffee tea fresh baked cookies and wine available. Enjoy.

We were blessed to be able to witness the first wedding for Beth and Matt in this magnificent theater. It was clean, cozy, welcoming, easy to find, and great seats. There didnt appear to be a bad seat in the house! I/we would definitely return!

Nice little theater in Alameda California. I can definitely use a bit of a remodel, and the bathrooms need a major work over.

Love every performance Ive seen. (And there have been a LOT of them.) The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because parking can be tricky to find.

Wonderful performances. Weve been to several. Great Community Theater for a reasonable price. We always have come on the Sunday matinee and on-street parking has never been a problem!

The play house is intimate in arena shape, which means there is not a bad seat in the house. The 5 play 2o18 season has a lovely mix of classics and new plays. The current play is a strange and very funny exercise and you can still get a 5 for the price of 4 season ticket.
