I went there for the Open mic, stayed for the decor and peeps . . . And because I was third to last performer. But there were so many good players that taking some time was alright.

Fun experience and doesn't take all night - thought provoking, solid acting and an interesting story, a great way to start the night!

We saw the Jury Experience, and it was engaging, thought-provoking, and fun. I appreciate that there were ushers to seat each group to reduce the chaos of open section seating. The venue is nice, the snacks well priced, and the actors were talented.
