Just saw The Effect tonight. It was excellent. The actors were compelling and likable from the first minute they stepped on the stage. While the show often seemed to be a lighthearted story about a young couple falling in love, the story really provided a powerful vehicle into the complex nature of mental health. you know its a great show when you laugh, connect with the characters and walk away thinking about the impact and relevance the performance and story had on you.

Fantastic play. It brings together current issues of family, race and water rights, and how war changes people. Amazing acting,. lighting, believable stage fighting

Great troop! Went to murder mystery show where you follow the characters from room to room. Depending on which character you follow determines what part of the story of the mystery you get. Very intriguing and well done.

Great little space. A little off the beaten path. With a delightful selection of works. Their lights were not secured properly, thats a huge no no!!

I saw a musical with a small orchestra here on a 2-weekend run, and this place is great. Student discounts for performances, easy e-ticketing and will call, comfy lounge, and not unreasonably priced concessions ($3 beer, $4 wine, $1 water bottles).The space is intimate and efficient, ripe for creative use. And its true that there is not a bad view in the house. Keep this in mind as you pick out your seat online, but note that the higher your seat number (in section 1, at least) the closer you are to the railing, and therefore the more people you have to squish past if you get there close to curtain.Minus one star because the bleachers under the theater chairs became a 4-foot tomb for my cell phone (until my husband crawled under them to retrieve it--he said theres a treasure trove of purse-sized articles down there...).

The Strawdog theater has a moving play which is currently being performed. IN A Word explores what happens to the adults when a child goes missing. Riviting acting and a great script. Oh how we all can not face the reality of what we are or what we have done. Small theater limted run. Sign up to see it now

I love strawdog. A cool space with the perfect indie vibe. You can really make this space what you want. Located upstairs in Hugen Hall, there is a great bar, enough seats and high Cabaret tables, this is the perfect spot to have a show!
