This theater is such a delightful consistent gem of quality entertainment in the twin cities! Inside it feels intimate like you are part of a group of old friends invited to an evening of fun.

Community and high school theater is even better. I gave it two tries....

Now in our second season as flex pass owners, we need to share our disappointment with WAIT UNTIL DARK. While leaving we overheard Dann explaining the plot sequence to 3 couples. We could easily have been the 4th couple with the confusion we felt at the final lights out. Could representatives from 'the masses' be a part of future play selections?
