Additionally, there's a parking lot less than a block away you can book in advance on apps like Spot Hero for less than $20.

A comedy show that encourages/essentially requires drinking? Count. Me. In…read more I had a blast at this show last Saturday night with a couple of friends. We had purchased our $15 tickets separately and on different days, but when we walked in (through Urban Saloon) before the 8 p.m. show, my friends offered their names and then the host/actress turned to me and said, "And let me guess, are you Kathleen *Last-Name*?" I have NO IDEA how she guessed that. There were a ton of people there! Even more interesting: They appeared to know that we were one of the parties that wanted food and we were seated at the (only?) table with three chairs. I don't know if that was just happenstance because we arrived early enough for a table or what, but I definitely recommend trying to snag one of the tables that wrap around the chairs. Why? Well, because Urban offers $6 flights on select beer options (among other affordable full-size beer options) and it's tough to sit on a chair with a flight. Yeah. Six bucks for four little beers. Nuts. And trust me, you're going to want that flight for the roughly hour and a half-long show. The show is a mix of drinking-related skits and interactive bits, like classic drinking games. For the games, they would roam the audience and call on people. It's likely that I looked mortified when they chose me for a "Would You Rather?" question. It involved puppies and grandmothers and other things that I will not type in a review. It's possible that all the beer has made an impact on my five-star rating. I assume this would not seem quite as hilarious while sober. But while slightly tipsy? Hello, Hello, Fun!

They do other programming throughout the year as well - long form improv, classes, workshops, bringing in popular acts from other cities, and welcoming in collegiate groups as well. I look forward to many more laughs at CsZ and highly recommend adding it to your rotation!

I love the information in the programs (about the work, the performers, and even basic information for beginners) and a lot of the concerts have a pre-concert informational session in which people discuss the work about to be played.

Concerts are normally $25-35 a ticket, but with a $75 Young Friends membership you are able to sign up for unlimited concerts for the season. There are also normally receptions after the show or during intermission. This is such a great org in the Philly cultural scene!

The music, which consisted of all violin and cello was beautiful, delightful, it was a heavenly relaxing experience after a long day. It was easily clear how skilled and gifted these musicians are, I enjoyed the concert so much that I thought to myself two things- one, I want to come back for more concerts! Two, I plan to expand my classical music repertoire, I definitely will be listening to more similar pieces on Pandora, lol. A few suggestions that I have which would have made the evening even better: the narrator/orator who I believe gave the pre-concert lecture, which I missed, also gave a 20 minute introduction about the 7 sonatas. While I found the introduction interesting, I found it a bit lengthy and he was a bit verbose. I think a 10 minute intro would have captivated my attention better. The various Biblical references and verses, the Biblical relevance was incredibly interesting, however. I do wish that they had a brief intermission. I enjoyed my snack and beverage from the concession stand at a premium price, the ushers were friendly and helpful for the most part, except for one ornery one and forgetting to give us programs initially. All in all, great show which was indeed worthy of my standing O! (Yes I intended that rhyming! ). I would love to come back and see more shows here! Great location, great performance, a lot of fun!!

The company features contemporary theatre from Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales, and they're not works you'll find performed elsewhere in the area. The productions are always very well done and very moving. The ticket prices are really a bargain for the quality of the work, especially for their Pop-up Play in a Pub series where you get dinner and a show! Highly recommend grabbing a ticket to one of their upcoming performances. I anticipate being a season ticket holder for many seasons to come.

Even after the performance, people were hanging around just to look at the theater and take it all in. Staff eventually had to usher people out because no one wanted to leave. I arrived a little late because I went to the wrong venue, and the staff was incredibly kind and calm about it. They walked me to my seat between sets and made it totally stress free. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and professional. The place is clean and very well maintained. One thing to watch out for is seat selection. In the balcony, some seats have a pole partially blocking the view of the stage, which is frustrating if you do not realize it ahead of time. Definitely double check before buying. I loved the live subtitles for the opera. Such a thoughtful touch and makes the whole experience much more accessible. The chandeliers are gorgeous, the atmosphere feels grand but not stuffy, and the whole night felt special. Fully worth the money and I would absolutely come back.
