Small theatre. I thought the stage design was excellent. Sound got a bit loud here and there otherwise excellent. Centrally located near the metro and restaurants.

Great venue, one of the hidden gems in DC. Amazing production with local artists. I went to see Exquisite Agony, (Exquisita Agonía) if you don’t speak Spanish they have subtitles in English projected onto two screens. Fascinated by the high level of the Artists, definitely I will come back for more.

Great venue. The table church has a service here every morning on Sunday. Great acoustics, ample seating but I will say it’s a little tight.Cute lobby.On site parking is available.

This is a great community theater, their commitment to bilingual productions and education in performing arts is phenomenal. My recommendation is that you arrive early for seats closest to the front because the seats higher up are not designed for individuals above average height and weight.

Great shows, a long block from the Metro, buses go right past, good restaurants all around, elevator for the handicapped. Parking on top of the Giant and in the shopping center across the street. Tivoli Square may be the best public space in DC in the summer.

Went on a 3rd grade field trip, saw a play about Picasso. Perfect content for the kids, emphasized he zest for life and living to the fullest. Bilingual production. Really in impressed. Located downtown DC. Rough commute for showtime, got stuck in am traffic. Lovely theater, small and intimate, but professional.

Love the location. Parking is not a problem at all, it was very accessible. The kids had a great time and the show was absolutely spectacular. Will go again at the next opportunity.

Another one of DCs hidden gems. This theater is worth visiting just to see the architecture and read the history as you walk up the stairs and queue for the lobby. The black and white photographs and descriptions give a glimpse of a DC not often discussed or remembered. The bonus of GALA is you are then treated to a professional performance inside. (Which is also beautiful and, if the grid is not too bright you can see the beauty of the ceiling.) This theater works hard, the actors stay with local residents to make it affordable for everyone to produce and then see the show... Plus provide support and activities for local schools/childrenDo yourself a favor and enjoy a night out at GALA... For so many reasons youll be glad you did.

Great theatre, location, repertoire.The theatre itself is intimate though capacious, with good sight lines and sound. Stagecraft is of the highest quality. The neighbourhood is vibrant. The slate of plays they put on are challenging for both the production and audience sides. Lastly, the staff are engaged, professional, and helpful.

Have not seen a bad production here. Some I have liked more than others, but the theater is intimate and comfortable. Pick a higher seat if your Spanish is rusty. The subtitles worked well for my non-Sp friends.

Small but enough for a great performance.

Review №25

I very much enjoyed the theatre for the level of intimacy you feel to the performance as even the back rows have you close to the performers. This is a departure from what you may experience at the Kennedy center for example. Dress in layers, as it was noticeably warm for both myself and other attendees. Its a shame I didnt capture a photo of the theatre ceiling as it was quite gorgeous!

Amazing flamenco performance by Reditum tonight! Congrats to everyone at the theater for the great work.

Review №36

For the most part this venue offers a decent curation of Hispanic theater. However Im not a fan of their annual flamenco festival only because its the same old acts after a while and their selection of visiting artists could be stronger. I love and appreciate flamenco so I know what Im talking about. Thus far one of the best acts was by touring artist Jose Barrios but that was several years ago. For dance youll find better acts elsewhere in DC.
