This small, darkly lit theater is touted by critics as one of the best places in the West to see regional premieres of Broadway and off-Broadway shows, and is a haven for daring plays and works exploring gay themes. Since 1987, the approximately 120-seat theater has offered a sophisticated depth of actors and a cozy atmosphere. With only seven rows of seats and relatively inexpensive tickets, it offers an intimate alternative to the city's larger venues. Each performance runs six to eight weeks. Free parking is available. Call for reservations.
