Carie JonesJuly 10, 2011I recommend skipping this stop. Crazy anti-climactic for the wait. The museum exhibit wasn't bad.
Danny C 😱October 15, 2011Current production of Parade is one of the best things I've ever witnessed on stage!
Micah MacDonaldDecember 26, 2012Parking here is valet-only and takes a very long time after an event!
Paull YoungJanuary 2, 2012Read 'Manhunt', a great account of Booth's attempted escape after shooting Lincoln
Michael GassJune 16, 2011Staff as a whole were rude and condescending. Not at all what we were expecting.

"There isn't a bad seat in the house! Try getting tickets in the mezzanine if you're on a budget. Seats 116,117,118,119 are great in any row up there!"

"Small theater-in-the-round. Cutting edge productions, excellent acting. Fun neighborhood. Cedar Restaurant a block or two away is fantastic. Not cheap but totally great food."
