They are taking over the spot formerly called the basement and offer shows in the intimate space, I went opening night for their showing of Our Dear Dead Drug Lord. They had some of the most talented display of local actors and presented the story in a way that was engaging and an amazing use of the small space. They not only have the theatre space but also house a bar in the front that serves drinks and few desserts for enjoying before or during the show. The premier was phenomenal and I am so excited to see what else they brew up! This was a perfect show for the spooky season and their upcoming shows look really promising. I would definitely reccomend checking it out for a date night, night out or if you're interested in seeing some plays that are unique and not often in the rotation at other local theatres!

They have a good collection of shirts, bananas, housewares, zines, and other fun finds.

Take some time to pop by and say hi to the crew.

I only found this out after a while of being inside before the two guys at the counter greeted and warned us. Then I realized they had a sign outside about how they offer piano lessons. That's fine and dandy, however they should probably close the store during the recitals. Because who the heck can shop for a piano without playing it?

I heard the venue rental is expensive. Im not sure what's included with rental as I was just a vendor at a wedding, but I did see tables and chairs in this couples package. The nicest feature is a huge chandelier in the center of the room. There is also a big stage too behind a curtain. Overall, the venue was nice, it could use an update on some things ex. Carpeting. Lobby furniture. In my opinion it foesnt match the elegance of the chandelier.

So far, there is no other shop locally that has anything in stock that can compare, and while it is tempting to say you will purchase something inexpensive and see if you or your child likes it--remember that it is hard enough to play the thing, and impossible to get lovely tones from most factory made instruments. The closest shop at this time would probably be Brobst, near D.C.

They seemed genuinely concerned that I was happy with the result...and I am.
