Been here twice…
Was at the opening event and it was well worth the price. Great vibe. Awesome crowd filled with local artistic types — some out of town. Evening started with music performance — blues with dance — pretty cool. Then came a theater performance — about the Ukraine conflict — educational and visual. Next up was a one woman act — super energetic and imaginative. Closed up with singing by Kelly S Patrick — nice touch. Throughout it all was an open art gallery by local artists — inspiring. Place has some art studios that were open for viewing. Bar had enormous selection of great beer $ 4 – 5 by the bottle — ice cold. Cheese and crackers — tasty and free! Place was super clean. Got to meet lots of people and made some friends. Lot’s of excitement and chatting. Learned that night that the people running the spot are opening a larger venue next door. can’t wait for that!
Went to the Cinderella puppet show to see real marionette style puppets. Amazing to see that art revived! My kids were mesmerized and still. The whole set up from opening night was transformed for a family style show this day. Complete with tables and chairs. There were coffee and snacks — by Madame Claude Café! Very comfortable setting. Parents got to chill with a cup of Joe while kids had a fun time. to tell the truth, I enjoyed the puppets on strings too. Tickets are incredibly inexpensive…
One thing lacking though is a good sign outside to find the place easier. get on it!

Wonderful space. Opening night was wonderful. Opening acts were. .. .staggered. Summer and Kelly St. Patrick were wonderful. However the folks who ran the space never thought about outside sound. As in the bar area or the downstairs. SHUSSH! was the big word. No one outside of the venue could even talk at normal voice levels without being treated to Stalin-​like SHUSSHing. If you want a space to do spoken word or plays — great. Just don’t expect your adherents to be able to talk.
Shooosshhhh!
