Buyer Beware! We purchased tickets on the second level, left side, front row and could only see a sliver of the stage. This is by far the worst outing ever for a show. We left at intermission, and I … Full review by Jen and Dane M

Hi, I've sat in both the upper and lower and really all of the seats are pretty good. They have a policy that they explain at the beginning of the show that once the show begins, you are allowed to change to any empty/available seat. So, unless the show is full/sold out, you can move.

0 Votes Quick?...go to Pho trendy noodle place down the street. Yes! We had quick dinner at Mill Street one night at the bar with Andrew as bartender...he was absolutely helpful with local travel tips when he had two minutes to chat to the point that we tipped him $20! Aoli restaurant just up the hill from town from the theatre is also a good place if you tell them you're in a hurry...but they are pricey, plus their quality fluctuates...sometimes amazing...sometimes only very pleasant.
Can we make a reservation for a guided tour of the theatre? Also, is there a schedule for July 2018 plays available?
A:
Yes, I believe guided tours can be booked. Our group took a guided tour before the play, though I did not personally participate. I don't think July is set yet.
