This is true community theater! A very unique and intimate atmosphere that you wont find anywhere else. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into every aspect of their productions and that the actors are enjoying themselves. The concessions are locally sourced from small businesses and the owners are very welcoming! They also have plenty of social distancing measures in place so you can feel comfortable even in the current environment.

A very unique and cozy theater that is run by a wonderful family! Huge variety of shows, community outreach, and one of my favorite places! Theyre also especially diligent and dedicated to safety and health during these times.

Amazing cultural experience! Drove here from Des Moines with a group of friends to see a show. I was beyond amazed by the space and the wonderful talent. Truly a gem. The theatre is cozy, the couches and other seating extremely comfortable, the experience intimate, and the talent top notch. Ill be back and I highly recommend.

This place is adorable! Very intimate setting with plush sofas and chairs, even throw blankets to cuddle up!! Beer served in a nice reusable Giving Tree Theater cup. Bathrooms decorated in vintage hardware and books. Staff was friendly and the show was stellar!! Will definitely go back.

Omgsh this place is super adorable! My first time here & everyone was incredibly friendly & the seating is unique & fun! Im really looking forward to the production. My only complaint & it doesnt affect my rating because I understand others will like it but brrrrrrr! If youre not a warm person by nature bring a jacket! Im Im a sweater & jeans in August & could really use a blanket.Crushing on this little find!Update - they brought me a nice warm blanket! As I said, the chill didnt affect my review but now Im wishing I could add another star for the purest lets get this girl a blanket moment ever! FYI - they provide blankets you can grab on your own too! Sometimes ya just gotta ask the right questions! ️️️

This is an absolutely wonderful venue. Its a small little theater that is full of comfy couches and overstuffed chairs. There is not a bad seat in the place. The stage is right up to the couches and the money goes to charity. They have snacks and random wine, beer, and sodas. I really enjoyed the show and the place was cozy. Great place to go on a date or just for a fun show. The owners are super friendly and gave a short speech before the show.
