My bank is inside. Great customer service. I love the people in there

I absolutely love my experience every time I come to see a play. Excellent experience every time!

Great Everytime I Go to the Chase Bank there

Nice place chase bank inside the building.

The childrens program is wonderful. Theres even free class for parents while waiting for their children. The staff is caring and professional. Its both and honir and a privilege to be a part of this historic venue.

Iam so excited to be part of the Karamu history persay..I was enroled in a creative writting course as a child way back in 1975, and it all paid off in my love of writing as I have just published my first book.... Iam My Fathers Daughter is available at Amazon aand Barnes and Noble!Thanks Karamu!

The rennovation is beautiful! The staff was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely attend more often now.

We went this past weekend and enjoyed every minute. The facility was beautiful and welcoming. The staff was great and the play was excellent! Thank you for a great date night!

Fantastic gem for performing arts. Wonderfully courteous staff, superbly remodelled theater and creative professional performance. It was a night to remember. We look forward to seeing more shows.

Very lovely theater. I enjoyed the experience I had at the Karamu House. I arrived ten minutes late and was politely escorted to my seat when the timing was right. Viewing a performance of Elton John and Tim Rice’s version of “Aida, left me amazed and entertained. The actors were lucid and energetic. For a play, that I believe lasted two hours, had gone by so fast due to the actors never letting a moment get dull. And overall I recommend everyone visit the Karamu House at least once, the music, choreography, and atmosphere are lovely.

Its been a while since Ive visited, but the Karumu House is stronger than ever. The stage setting was believable, it commanded your attention..The play Sassy Mamas was fun, refreshing, and a joy to watch. I plan to visit again.

Simply magic! Everybody needs to see a show here!

Absolutely lovey going there. They have security on sight. Easy parking

Karamu has always been an amazing place with an extensive history. Had a great time here.

The History of the theater is beautiful and rich, the staff is pleasant and they have a small bar area were you can purchase snacks and drinks, reasonably priced

Enjoyed the free MLK movie viewing. The staff was very pleasant. Very informative movie

Really have changed sense the last time I was here.It has a laid back kinda atmosphere,could use more leg room

One of the best theatrical experiences I have had. The theater is very comfortable. It has great sight lines. It has great acoustics. I cannot say enough positive how great the show I saw I was. It was entertaining, educational well paced and it would be hard to find any other group of performers who could have done it better. The $30 ticket price was a real bargain considering what I received in return. I am looking forward to being there again soon

Great community Center huge heritage its a black thang culture from all around

Sassy Mamma was funny with a touch of Gray. Mature women with younger men.

Just saw Sassy Mommas with my girls. Great play!!

Very nice theatre. Went to see Fenced with a friend diring the winter season. The ticketing system needs a little work but I would definitely go back.

We have been to Karamu for several plays, always thought provoking and intelligent, and most recently for a brilliantly fun night of stand-up. Karamu is without doubt one of the most inclusive and finest institutions in the U.S. - embodying the real vision of this country being equality and justice. If more people in our society would engage with places like this that always have the hand of friendship stretched out, regardless of race or religion, the world would be a better place. Karamu always welcomes its visitors with open arms.

The play was so awesome cant wait to go again

Americas oldest operating Black community theatre 100+ years. Newly renovated with more to come.

Went to see Black Nativity - a Langston Hughes musical drama written in 1961. Powerful singing by talented cast in black church gospel tradition. Interesting retelling of nativity story combined with celebration of African-American religuoun and culture. Very impressed by all aspect of the production...set design, costumes, and choreography. Singing complemented by 3 ballet/modern dancers...all were good, but lead male dancer was incredible...a blessing to see him dance. Would come again.

Great atmosphere, lots of upgrades and the bar is great. Bartenders are on point

Truly enjoyed Monday Movie night

I havent been inside for any plays yet. I just moved from the westside and was trying to find a park. I dont know if this fitness zone playground is apart of it but its a nice little park. Wore my kids out, thats for sure.

Damon Williams comedian a great performer beginnig to end .

Perfectly small and intimate. Up close and personal!!!

Long time fan/supporter of Karamu. Have had plays produced there, have enjoyed many an evening/afternoon of excellent theater and continue to be amazed at what Tony Sias and a small staff have accomplished in less than three years! Bravo!

The play velocity was outstanding it gave a true picture of the mind of one who is aging

Loved the play, Sassy Mama

Parking is little tricky in the winter because the snow piles take away some of the parking spots.The two theaters are comfortable places to watch shows.

An outstanding venue for performing arts. Very talented actors. A fun destination for an evening show.

Great performance, powerful plays. Cant wait to go back.

Black Nativity was wonderful

I received really friendly, professional, and down to earth service. The passion for theater, and respect for black heritage was felt, & appreciatiated. I enjoyed the play, and laughed. The term of today, is racial appropriation. My 15 year old daughter taught me it. ️

Always meets my expectations. Renovated auditorium and smiling staff to assist. Along with A++ plays and legendary guest. A main stay of the community.

Great place, legendary.

Great show and the staff is professional, renovations are really nice.

Multiple theatre events / Chase bank
