Went there in November of 2011 to see an Asian American play entitled "The Sugarhouse at the Edge of the Wilderness." The play was not the best, but I'm here to discuss the theatre. It looks pretty small from the outside. Nothing extravagant, not really aesthetic or eye-catching. Once you're inside there's only one bathroom for both men and women. That wouldn't be so bad if there was only one stall, but there are several. You'd have to hope no one's in there if you need to use it-otherwise, discomfort/embarassment will ensue.
I haven't seen the whole place, it's very community center-esque, stylistically. I was gestated by the workers toward a door, behind which a small- very small theatre room stood. The seats were like bleachers- it felt as if it's an empty room with nothing but a small stage. The seats were all attatched and they looked like one big mobile structure that can be installed anywhere. The thinng even moved, so I am infering it is removable and mobile. So basically, it made for a very cheap atmosphere-bear in mind though, that that was only one of the theatres that make up the Connelly theatre. I didn't go beond where the ushers sat.
The tickets were reasonab;y priced-$ 25 dollars; I paid $14 being that I'm a collage student. Outside the venue, there are pamphlets and posters up informing theatre-lovers of the upcoming events-all of which look reasonably priced. It depends what you're interested in given that they have all sorts of theatre and musical events.
Not the most appealing theatre, aesthetiacally and structurally, but it's worth the trip if you want to see a play. read more
