We had met him at another event in Beverly Hills a few weeks before, chatted with him (a really great guy as well as a great jazz musician). We signed up for the entire event from the soundcheck which was an amazing show (with the choir) in its own right - and there were relatively few people in the audience (in total I think the venue seats 228 people. BTW there is ample parking all around if you are willing to walk a block. The soul food buffet was very good, and even included a glass of wine, beer or soda. Would we return? Absolutely and

The place was like the Harlem of Hip Hop at it's prime. I love the area of Leimert Park itself because it is one of the few places around LA that embraces the cultural music, art and voice of the African American/Black community and many if not all the shops or venues are Black owned. Sad to say, but that is a rarity in LA, but the beautiful part is that it is still around and here for anyone to enjoy and appreciate.

Be careful when you're walking down the ramp to get to your seats, especially if you are visually challenged. The parking is not so great located down the road near the railroad tracks which does not accommodate the whole theatre. Nearby parking is reserved for handicapped. The theatre is located in the middle of an industrial area. As far as a playhouse is concerned, it seems to be catered to mostly older people. Production of "Next to Normal" was a bit disappointing. Missing from the forces of instruments was an electric guitar, cello, and xylophone. I know this because I have a copy of the complete score as part of my studies. There were many botched lines and one of the actors messed up on his lyrics. Because of the lack of parking and because of where it is situated, I've given this location a one out of five stars. I will not be coming back due to rude clientele, and uncomfortable seats. There was an older grey haired woman who was constantly fidgeting and shuffling her feet during the performance seated two chairs to my left, with one extra chair separating us. While I was trying to read my program using a dimmed light that did not reflect towards her, she had the nerve to grab my hand telling me to stop. The chairs are not jogged so that your view is obscured my the person directly in front of you. At intermission I switched chairs with my husband. No one has the right to touch anyone else without permission. Save your money by not patronizing this theatre. It isn't worth it.

She's belligerent, obnoxious and has a potty mouth. She was very unprofessional. The scheme is this, she has two sides to the venue. When I called her on the phone she gave me a price of $2,500. However, when my niece arrived to the venue and gave her a $500 deposit, so the next day I went down there to see and that's where the games begin if you want both sides you have to pay $3,800, she said 4000 so in actuality, she gave me a discount LOL. I spoke to several people that had weddings, and we pass for the loved ones and they only pay $2,000, lady took advantage of my broken heart and my vulnerability. I am going to report her I'm going to get my money back and I suggest anyone do not do business with this shyster she has no compassion for no One, she is truly money hungry.

Tim Robbins is on the Board of Directors and even directs and acts in some of the performances. They have a large range of shows there, from serious drama, comedy and other things. We were lucky enough to see "Shambles." It was a sort of holiday free for all and some of the best acting and performing I have ever seen. It has a loose story, but you will not care. You see, a cat named Musk comes to take over the earth and all the planets and have people perform for him. Maybe it is a dream, but we don't care. There are songs, tap dancing, a great band, amazing singers and performers, there are acrobats and jugglers and it had special guests every night. It was simply amazing. The staff is so kind and sweet, all performers I think and this night there was even free pizza and meet the characters after the show. My grandson is on the Spectrum and very shy. This is the first after party he has ever agreed to attend. That is not my great skills, but that of the staff and performers, who could see right away he was different and approached carefully, as if they had been trained. By the end of the party he was talking to people, giving hugs and telling them how much he loved the show. He just does not do this, but he did this night. He was so happy. The theater is build in an old sub station for trains we had in LA for years, before I was born and I am old. It was going to be torn down, but it was saved. The Actor's Gang redid all of it and it looks like it did in its hay day. It also has a big park right outside. It is a small theater and there is not a bad seat in the house. The seat rows are not flat but each up a stair so no one has to worry about the women with the wrong hat on or someone taller than anyone you have ever seen. This is a not for profit and they make sure all can come. I love this place and will be back again and again.
