Support local theater! We were able to go see Tommy with friends yesterday evening. The casting was great. Very animated actors, great talent, excellent live musicians. The tech effects were well done and added to the plot. We met the owner, Bill, who was very cool. It might be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the plot for Tommy before going as some parts of the plot are intense. However, they were handled delicately and sensitively. I would not advise taking young children to this show, but they do have more family friendly shows available at other times of the year. Street parking is hard to come by, so plan ahead and arrive early. There is a lot at the back of the theater as well. There isnt much storefront visibility from Newport, so keep in the look out. (see my photos below) The theater was clean, offered concessions, had bathrooms to the side, inside the theater, which I thought was kind of strange until someone explained to me that it used to be a club. Long enough intermission to accommodate bathroom breaks. The seating was a little tight, but that means more people can attend, so not too bad. There is a comfortable looking lounge bench to the right when looking at the seating area. Because its a small, intimate setting (only front rows are reserved from what we could tell), arrive early for your best pick at seating.

Small Musical Theatre Venue: Production level for such a small venue was actually quite high. We went to see Avenue Q (which is a great musical btw) and all of us left extolling the experience. One caveat, the chairs are uniformly painful on the olbooty. In the hierarchy of small musical theatre venues it is below Cignet but above, ummmm ... oh Ive got it. Better than the Lyceum theatre in Horton Plaza.

I love working at this intimate playhouse in San Diego. Putting on the highest quality shows in such an intimate space is a dream come true. Save $6 using coupon code "castoff"

Saw the 3 pm showing of Elf Jr on Saturday, Dec 3rd, 2016. Very heartwarming and fun. Nice little venue they have! They do a great job here.
