A friend rented the space for a live stream event. It was very reasonable, clean and overall a great experience!

This little theater is just what you would expect! A older theater! The parking is less than stellar to find but that is not the theaters fault! I loved that there was a mini beverage and snack bar and you could bring in whatever you purchased to eat during the show!The staff was very friendly and helpful and the theater area was clean yet dark enough to watch the show at! I would definitely recommend to others and come back again for another show in the future!

I have come here for 4 of the evening (sexprov) shows, I love improv! Although the shows begin quite late, I find the staff and actors to be contemporary and witty! The venue is intimate but nothing spectacular....I dont come there for ambiance. It is a little uptown community theater with a surprisingly entertaining selection of live entertainment and a few nibbles. Nothing else to do? Great last minute unpretentious night out. Grab a beer and giggle.

Ive seen shows and had outside classes held here. Theater is wide and shallow. Nice little area out front

Went here to see A Drinking Game MN and it was amazing. It was perfectly priced, and the actors/actresses were hilarious! Will definitely be going back.

What an awesome way to spend a Friday night! The Black Out group was really able to get the audience excited. Everyone was on point down to the person working the lights, and, if you need a drink or snack while there, they offer inexpensive but good options.

Best show Ive ever seen! I ended up going twice this weekend to the same show (Who Killed Ariel?: A Princess Murder Mystery) because it was just that hysterical! Thank you ladies plus one sexy gentleman for the laughs!

Local non guild theater at its most heartfelt. Bit insular to the neighborhood and popular culture. Nice snack area to hang before and after performances.

Cute little theatre unsuspectingly residing on a busy Hennepin Avenue. Was here tonight to see Mishas arrest video. First time in theatre. It felt small and old, limited refreshments. The place felt like it was put together last minute. Unrelated small art. Some beers available at overpriced rates. Meh.

I went to see a co-worker perform in The Directors Cut: 30 Rock, a parody of NBCs show mixed with improvisation. Hilarious, great show!

The Phoenix is an intimate theater with a great little rehearsal space in the basement. They host all sorts of interesting shows and auditions. Definitely a space to check out for the local theater scene.

Excellent community space with sufficient parking in the side streets makes this a plus for organizing events especially with excellent eateries nearby for multiple price budgets. Easy access to the highway and also bus lines.

Small, fun space. There are some support poles that will partially obstruct some views some of the time, but not a deal breaker in this space.
