Always great productions. Every seat has good sight lines but I especially like front balcony. Built with forethought to having sufficient restroom stalls for intermission rush but badly designed doors are shut when vacant so you have to peek under for feet; this slows the line and feels creepy to do. This is one of Philadelphia's top producing theaters. Subscription prices very reasonable.

Not a bad seat in this place. Went and saw the empire strips back. We were in the balcony. When buying the tickets I did not realize how intimate it would feel. The sound was great and we could hear every note and joke. I will be on the lookout for other events here.

For a smaller sized theatre I really enjoyed the few hours I spent there, the seats are staggered on the first floor in front of the stage so no matter where you sit you don't have to worry about someones head blocking your view I sat in the back row in the isle seat, and could see the stage perfectly. I would recommend balcony seating if you're taller than 5'11 though, there's not much leg room for the main floor seats.

A much smaller theater than I imagined. Remove your expectations, this is a no frills experience. Canned beer and bottled wine at a small bar. Candy snacks. Bathrooms are nice and the theater itself does the job. I wouldn’t avoid this place to see something, which is more than I can say for a few venues in the city.
