    Just an incredibly beautiful and beautifully restored space for bands, performing arts and even weddings and special functions.The building is a national historic site originally constructed in the 1920s inspired by the Paris Opera House. It functioned as a movie theatre until the 90s, and was finally restored and opened as a performance space in 2010. It's got this round design and gorgeous balcony that makes it feel intimate even when packed to capacity (approx 700.) It looks and sounds like the great age of theatre - all gold and sculpted details and red velvet - but remains true to the quirky diversity of the neighborhood by hosting a creative range of events with a welcoming attitude and an open mind.

    This gorgeously restored theater just hosted Jeffrey Combs' one-act Edgar Allen Poe play for two nights as part of Fantasia. What a beautiful place!

    They serve drinks at the bar in back at reasonable prices for you to sip while watching plays on comfy velvet seats. There should be more theaters like this -- the world would be better for it. I hope it does well, and am glad to see it reconverted to a performing arts space from a steak house.
