Parking here is quite difficult, and often people park parallel opposite of the theater. They will be moving locations soon to somewhere more scalable, which is very exciting! Seats are very intimate, with the front row being feet away from the actors. Every play I've seen here has been very entertaining and the volunteer cast members are clearly dedicated!

Parking is abundant and easy ingress and egress was no problem. The Staff. Amazingly accommodating and Friendly. They helped us to our seats and were quite knowledgeable. Top marks. The Venue Part Deux. There are signs a-Plenty stating no food or drink in the venue. Until it is noted the drinks must remain closed a-la purchased drinks at the bar which come with a closeable top or bottles that may be again... brought with you and closeable. You can still bring your own in...but for a whopping $90 for 2 adult beverages, kid beverages, and waters at the beginning and pre order for intermission...you could have just brought in your closeable water bottle and saved the cost. This is like handing you the keys to an Aston but told not to drive it off the lot. Understandable for spillage, but not well explained. The production and sound were second to none. The only niggle I had were the inexperienced show goers behind us who continually dialogued what came next via the book, how it did not correspond to the movie, and continually picked at it. I cannot control other people...but do stay home or keep like a church mouse like the rest of us while the production was in course. I guess money can buy your way in but not common decency no matter your age bracket/demographic/wealth status. Again out of my control, so I will not hold it against the theatre. Overall. Yes. I will be back for another show. Amazing. Thank you all so much for what you do and giving back to your community the way you do. Donation made. And will continue to support. Rock solid 4 Stars.

There's donation-based concessions. The actors and actresses played their roles phenomenally and made for a gripping show that teetered the edge between comedy and tragedy. Huge props to them and the director for a really fun experience. Highly recommend for a date night or just a new experience!

At the show, I was blown away by the set production, costumes, and most of all, the quality of the actors. Since then, our other daughter has also joined Showtime and we are 17 shows in! If you are looking for a place for your child to have experience with on stage productions, you can't go wrong with Ms Jackie. I think she truly supports her casts, and also has very high expectations for her shows- there is dedication and work involved to be a part of Showtime.

As our girls have gotten older, they have also been able to have the experience of working backstage and in the booth, which gives them other skills and a real appreciation for what it takes to make a production happen.

The theater has an attached parking garage for convenience as everyone knows how parking is in this area. Small, clean lobby, ample bathroom stalls & an intimate theater with a balcony area. Seriously when I say intimate, I mean every seat in this place guarantees a good view of the stage. I will be checking their website for shows as this was a very nice experience!

Because it was a kids' production, I wanted to be kind--and honestly, I'm surprised the Director doesn't teach the kids to have a better audience presence. It was very loud with lots of yelling at the end; I agree with cheering and supporting, but there's a noise level they should respect. In addition, the constant eating during the performance seemed unnecessary and was very distracting to other viewers. I will say, the very small venue made it feel cozy and safe, which was nice. However, the lobby area is pretty bare-bones, and it didn't leave me eager to rush back and plan another visit right away. It definitely seems like a spot mostly frequented by parents, grandparents, and family members supporting the young performers. If you park in the garage attached to the theatre, it is validated inside the building. Without validating your ticket, you will pay $5.

New location for Riot! Right next to Julep, which is another favorite of ours…read more This location used to be a gym, and more recently a bar, so people might think this spot is cursed - but I am hopeful Riot will change that pattern. The cool thing about the location is they have their own coffee shop and bar and a few sitting areas so you can hang out before the show. The coffee shop also offer pastries and is open from 7 am! As far as the comedy part itself, we've been to a Monday open mic night - which I didn't expect to be great but we wanted to do something a little different for date night. The employees are nice and they even warned us that the talent might not be the best, but we still had a good time. The stage is nice and well lit and the seating areas all have good views of the stage. Overall I think its a nice addition to the neighborhood - something to do other than eating and drinking. Hopefully they bring in some good acts pretty soon!

Since then I've gone on to see The ripple, the wave that carried me home, and the latest show, The Lehman Trilogy. Each show Ive watched here has been wonderfully well crafted in storytelling, acting, and have been very immersive to the audience. You can definitely feel the love that was put into each production. I've been enjoying going to opening preview night of each of these shows, there's something really different about seeing the first live performance for each production. Seeing the directors and producers all watching their hard work come to life, the roaring standing ovation. It's a great place to be at! I fully recommend people to check out their productions as they're never a disappointment to me!

It was authentic, and showed a black woman's plight of becoming one of the best dancers in the US, her perilious journey through addiction, and her life now. It was centered and focused on her voice, and it was beautiful story that should be heard by many Americans, not just the black community. Bravo Lauren Anderson!
