I filmed a short film in one of the studios. Very understanding receptionist. Easy bookings but too many restrictions. Very clean. Absolutely the best restrooms. Sometimes they lock the doors when youre moving out and still have some other stuff to move out. Receptionist is missing a lot of times from the reception other than that its fine

I saw the production of Little Rock based on the true to life landmark school desegregation case of Brown vs Board of Ed and the state of Arkansas told through the eyes of the 9 African American students that went to Little Rock H.S. It was moving with soulful musical interludes and humorous moments!

I gave them 4 stars because I had a rehearsal there and found out they didnt have a microwave. Otherwise the place is clean and quiet and beautiful. The bathrooms are clean and orderly with enough space. I was there one day. As you can see the place is legit and Im just hung up on the microwave. I needed to heat my lunch and had to walk a few blocks to The Public Theater.

A black box stage focuses on the play, everyone is close to the actors, the staging was excellent. Having the serfs move the chairs, tables, etc. was very effective. My only problem is that the play did not show the brilliance of Pushkin and his contributions to Russian poetry and thinking even though his brilliance was not recognized during his life

Great show in an intimate space. We sat too close to the stage, so the sound system was a bit muffled for us. Next time, Ill sit further back.

Went to see a performance by George Winston, and it was great! The venue was an appropriate size for the show--intimate but not too small. The overall production of the venue wasnt overly complicated or fancy.

Review №41

I saw LITTLE ROCK the musical. It was Excellent! The theater is small in an intimate way not a tiny way, because I actually had leg room. The staff are very accomendating and helped access the elevator so I didnt have to deal with the stairs. I had a great time and hope the play is hugh and makes it to Broadway. Maybe in that way the greater public can see how it was, isnt that much different, from how it is now. The incictives have changed but the essential rhetoric remainds the same.

An Institution within the Roman Catholic Church, The Sheen Center, named after the late Excellency Bishop Fulton J. Sheen affiliated with St. Agnes Church hard by Grand Central Station, championed Evangelization for the Archdiocese of New York. But, with the radio and television broadcasts, was viewed all over the United States..The Sheen Center carries forward the Churchs outreach, with a recent talk on The Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institue displayes that were archived by the Vatican Sacristan..Excellent.

We got to the theater at 8:07pm for an 8pm show. No one plans to be late to the theater but occasionally in New York this is unavoidable. We were brusquely told there was no late seating and no refunds. Nowhere in the ticketing emails or on the Sheen Center website does it mention that latecomers will not be seated (furthermore if a theater is going to implement such a Draconian policy perhaps they should not start exactly on time - at many theaters starting ten minutes late is normal). We called the theater the next morning to ask if we could attend another show in the run when there were unclaimed seats; we got no response. We called again and left a similar message, no call back. A night at the theater is expensive and if a theater is going to turn people away for being seven minutes late, this needs to be mentioned in the ticketing information and on the website. We certainly wont be seeing any more shows here after witnessing their cavalier attitude to everything but their no late seating policy.

Review №82

Although the actors are amazing, the writer took the idea of creative license to the next level by inventing events that never occurred in that first year at Little Rock. Too bad they fired the very talented Brandon Gill, for no apparent reason except for the writer/directors erratic, unstable behavior.
