  I've been here for improv jams and a couple showings of "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind" by the Neofuturists. There are two levels, with table seating up front, a piano to the side of the stage, and seats in the back. There is a pillar between the piano and the rest of the stage, which can block views depending on where one sits and whether all parts of the stage are used. I like the division, though, because there could be interesting ways of framing scenes as a performer and as an audience member, more dynamic. One issue to note is that the restroom facilities are shared in the building, and they're one-at-a-time, so the lines can get kind of long.

  Tiny theater that gets you up close and personal with the actors. Very much like a small nightclub with entertainment. Every seat is perfect. REcently I saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch. This was a very interactive show with actors dancing on your table-top. The theatre was perfect for it. Inside the place is a bit trashy-looking and the tables aren't especially comfortable, but that fits the venue perfectly. Bathrooms are a long walk downstairs so go before the show. Refershments are not fantastic. Neighbourhood is not so good. Parking SUCKS. Walk here.
