Such a cute theater! I must have walked past this one hundred times and did not know that such an inviting lively space existed in their basement. Saw a great performance of Avenue Q and really enjoyed it.

If your watching a show here, the seating side-to-side is really tight to one another, and the rows are also close together, so prepare to share intimate space with your neighbors. The nice thing about a small spaced theater is you can hear the actors very well, and see them as well.

I saw the play, the View Upstairs, which I enjoyed very much. The theater is nice looking inside. However, theres not much leg room nor does there appear to be any air conditioning. The ambient temperature was very warm. I had to fight drowsiness the whole time because the theater was too warm inside.

Such a great theatre! Intimate performances with phenomenal actors. Its like youre practically in the play with them. The staff are some of the nicest people Ive ever met and they make you feel right at home. Highly recommended to new and seasoned theatre-goers.

Very cozy theater. Not a bad seat in the house as far as viewing the stage is concerned. Seats were in good repair and clean too. Wish they were a little wider since we got sandwiched by people taller & wider than ourselves, but not the end of the world. The bathrooms are starting to show their age, but were functional. Nice little bar with sodas for $2 and limited snacks like candy and cookies. Staff was friendly and helpful. If another production comes into town, we wouldnt hesitate to return.

Cute little theater tucked away in an office building down a couple flights of stairs. Saw Avenue Q, a very funny musical. The cast was very talented I enjoyed all of their performances. If there were another show I was familiar with or even this show again, I would see another perfomance here.

Very modern, small stage but so well designed and decorated. The particular play we saw was excellent. I used to take musical theater classes here as a kid, have such fond memories of the place and am glad to see that its been quite updated/is way more modern but also recognizable

Love this small & intimate theater.Bar w snacks, beer, wine & cocktails.Cc accepted

Nice theater space with seating area, lounge, bar, and an entertainment space before entering the actual theater. Seats are comfortable and sightlines are good since this is an intimate theater with space for about 100 guests. Access to Muni Metro is excellent with the Van Ness Station being a very short walk from the building lobby.

Have been attending shows here for 15+ years. A few Ive seen twice and many have moved me to tears in the best ways. Not every show is awesome but the staff, actors and community deserve full support. Great bar, too! A Bay Area gem!

For the most part NCTC offers good theater. I have enjoyed most everything I’ve seen there. If you enjoy intimate theater with LGBT themes this is the place to go!

Saw Avenue Q here. To be honest, I didnt feel like it. But afterwards, I asked my family if we can go again! A great show, do watch if you get the chance. And the theatre, was perfect to host it. Not too big, not too small. I do hope it stays around. Someday, would like to be a member of the New Conservator Theater.

Fun little theater. Saw avenue q here. The theater is a quick walk away from the Civic Center BART which was great. Its also right by Hayes street so there are a lot of great food/drink options around for a meal or drink before the show. Theres also a small little bar inside the theater which can get a little long because there seems to be only one bartender. The theater itself seems to sit about 60 people max and the views from ever seat was great! It probably goes 8 to 10 rows back theater seating style.

We had heard the sound track last summer and enjoyed it immensely. The theater is small and the seats are comfortable. I didnt really see a bad seat in the house. The theater is clean and the bar service fast. The performers did a good job. This is sort of a Muppets for adults. Definitely not for kids under 15 years of so. We look forward to seeing other shows here.

Its a very small theater, hidden in a busy congested area of SF next to the Conservatory of Music. Its nothing fancy, with a small bar and average seating space and acoustics. But it gets the job done, we watched a musical here and really enjoyed it. For the price, its totally worth it!

Sweet theater in central location, great shows, little eatery inside too. Highly recommended.

Great show. Nice small venue. Confussing in basement of office building.

Saw Avenue Q here and it was amazing! Theater is small and compact. Which makes the experience very intimate. More importantly all the seats have a great view of the stage!

Local theatre at its best. Beautiful and modern multi venue space in a convenient location. Wide variety of shows throughout the year that appeal to a broad audience.

We attended the Fête Fatale gala last night and had a wonderful time. All of the staff at NCTC are great and they are an important part of the San Francisco art community.

Some cutting edge theater paired with some tried and true productions, and the talented actors carry off both with ease. Intimate theaters mean you always have a good view of the production. Its a plus to be able to take drink and snacks into the theaters. Add the reasonable ticket prices, and its a triple win!

Ive been entertained by NCTC for more than 20 years! They never let you down-- compelling, heart-warming and endearing performances every time. A great value, a great venue, awesome direction, production, set designs and costumes. Last night I saw The Nance and was absolutely blown away. Better than anything Ive seen on Broadway! Another knock out of the park for Ed Decker and his talented crew!

You can bring alcoholic drinks into the theater without having to buy an additional $20 sippy cup, so that alone should prompt a 6th star. I also recommend pre-ordering drinks for intermission if you like to save time and NOT wait in additional, unnecessary lines...

Wonderful, commubity-based theater and local company of surprisingly terrific actors and direction. One small theater and one medium sized. Low cost alternative to the higger-priced downtown theaters.

Outstanding LGBT-themed theatrical performances, brilliant plays, high caliber acting/singing/dancing. Both the artistic and administrative staff are welcoming and friendly. Been subscribing for 15 years. Rarely had any show that I disliked.

Small theater in which every seat is a good one. Eclectic shows. Fun.

Fantastic multi-auditorium theater in San Franciscos Civic Center area. Very nice inside with generally comfortable seating, Bathrooms are modern and clean, but a long walk from the auditorium. Parking is difficult unless you use a city lot. Dont be fooled into paying an attendent at an unmanned city lot. Shows here are usually some of the best. Get your tickets and the half-price ticket booth.

Good Place Has A Lot Of Things To See No Comapline Tasty Foods Around Here Must Visit If In this area

Just saw Avenue Q. Great talent. Great venue.

Always great productions, friendly and helpful staff, nice crowd!

Came to see Avenue Q. Small theatre but with comfy seats, and great view of the stage. Plenty of parking nearby, (we found street parking), but not too far from BART either.

See Avenue Q here. Good drinks and snacks after the show. Nice small theater.

Nice small theater with a fun vibe. Performance quality was ok but not great.

Great gay and gay positive theater. Season includes drama and comedy.

NCT has another hit with Terrance McNallys Its only a play. NCT veteran PA Cooley delivers classic McNally comedy with impeccable timing. The cast is terrific, each with their own ineffable chemistry deftly added. A great night out!!!

Ive seen several plays here and they never disappoint.

Great theater. Small but nice. Seats are as small as you would expect.

Excellent plays. Checkout the LGBT-friendly Pride Season subscription. Not to be missed.

Always love NCTC... great shows with quality casts and directors...

Great local theatre company. Be sure to do the Pride season performances

Enjoyed the Avenue Q performance by this talented group. Will be back for other shows!
