The Gremlin Theatre


Our mainstage productions are at The Gremlin Theatre. This intimate, black box theater seats 98. With its steep rake and side aisles, there's not a bad seat in the house. We use General Admission seating, and recommend arriving about half an hour before the performance.

Our summer shows are site specific, or in unique locations and venues, such as the Fringe Festival, or even a cemetery! We'll let you know in the months before the summer project on the Now Playing page.
