High quality acting with a sensible selection of productions in an intimate setting that seats a small number of viewers makes The Left Edge Theatre special. I have this secret rule of thumb: the quality of entertainment and food is inversely proportional to the distance one is from San Francisco. Left Edge is an exception.
Sofie and I saw the production of "Bad Jews". The Left Edge mission statement: "We endeavor to thrill, challenge, and engage audiences with ideas that make us think more, laugh more, and feel more." - "Bad Jews" delivered on the mission statement. It was funny and provoking. The actors were carefully selected for their ability to portray New York Jews - so the main characters were from New York. I was impressed with the quality of acting. I was totally absorbed in the characters.
From Santa Rosa, San Francisco productions include a long drive, difficulty of parking, hassle to fight for a place to eat and the long drive back. Left Edge has SF beat on all of these issues as it's located within the Luther Burbank Center (Formerly Wells Fargo Center) where parking is free and easy, no long drives and plenty of places to dine.
If one enjoys live stage drama, Left Edge should be experienced. Tickets are about $25, seating is at one's choice and since the theatre is small, there are no bad seats. Here's what's playing this season: https://www.leftedgetheatre.com/shows-2016-2017 read more
