The theater is small but I actually think it was perfect. They have a bar and snacks to purchase beforehand and the staff were all very friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Walnut Street Theatre is the oldest theatre in America and it's the only theatre that's been operating continuously as a theatre since it opened in 1809! I would love to see another show there.

You can actually settle in without fidgeting the whole show. The lobby is tiny though, so getting in and out feels a little chaotic, especially during the holidays. It gives slight fire-hazard energy, but I get it. Popular show, peak season, everyone trying to squeeze in at once. Inside, everything is dressed up for the holidays with cute, festive decor. Staff was super friendly. Tickets were scanned fast and they were really attentive, especially helping older guests find their seats. Bathrooms are one floor down. I overheard someone with a cane trying to figure out ADA options, so accessibility could be easier to navigate. Restrooms were stocked but could use more frequent cleaning, which is pretty normal for a packed show. Overall, solid experience. Expect crowds and lots of foot traffic, but the vibe and performances make it worth it. Excited to come back for the Sherlock Holmes show.

What a great venue for emerging theatre!…read more I went here with a friend to see Bob: A Life in Five Acts and it was a great time! As I walked in, the will-call was right in front of me and they had my tickets ready for me. Inside it's clean and the lobby is well lit. The space opens up nicely - allowing for the crowd to mosey around until show time. There's also a small bar set up with libations and snacks and a self coat check. The show itself was great - funny, enlightening, and thought provoking - told through a coming-of-age narrative. I felt there wasn't a bad seat in the whole house. The seating was stadium style so I was able to comfortably view the play without having to bob around the back of someone's head. The acoustics were great, and the performances were spot on! The Azuka tends to provide support for smaller productions showcasing new and rising talent, and I'm glad I was able to have the chance to enjoy this show brimming with potential! Would def recommend checking out this theatre and the show!

The show itself was wonderfully put together and thoughtfully hilarious and I would 10/10 recommend anyone and everyone to check it out. The smaller theatre is perfect for an up close and intimate experience. I was 100% engaged with the show and the actors throughout all 5 acts. I've never been a huge theater person but after this experience, I really look forward to coming back for other shows!

The play I saw was very interesting (the kind of play that I need to sit with and maybe read to process), and the facilities are great: not a bad seat in the theater, cafe in the lobby, plenty of bathrooms...

The Trial of Miz Martha Washington was a bit didactic (slavery is not a good model) yet pertinent in today's political climate.

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.

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!

I personally loved being selected as a suspect, I think the actors did a great job of explaining things and it was over the top, but really funny. The timing made sense and we were able to eat alongside the murder mystery so it felt like a true dinner and a show experience. My show was the 30's theme and it felt just like the movie Clue with Tim Curry. The ticket prices were more than fair considering how much you get with that ticket. I can't recommend enough, we will definitely go back!

My spouse will tell you that I love to ham it up and the Murder Mystery Company allowed me plenty of opportunities as I was chosen as on the of the suspect characters. Our actors greeted us to the event in character and really set the tone for the evening. We ordered drinks and salads were brought out right before the first act. The meal was coursed nicely so I did not feel rushed to finish before the next course. Our chicken parmesan and salmon were prepared well and I thought a great value for $75 for a 2 hour show and dinner. Will definitely be attending again!
