Could use more restrooms but otherwise great place to see a show
Very nice place, friendly people, very big stage just small hall.
Went here for my son's graduation and everything was setup nice.
Theater is wonderful. We saw Step Afrika perform their piece on Ernest Johnson's famed Migration Series. It was really wonderful. Try and get tickets if you can.
One note: this theatre is part of the Catholic Univ. campus, and is right behind the National Shrine/Basillica. YOU CAN'T PARK ON THE CAMPUS! Parking is a bear, there is street parking but it quickly fills up when there is a performance at the theatre. Get there early to park, or you may miss a part of the performance as we did looking for a parking place.

It is a nice community theater space. It could use some sprucing up... needs some softening and color to make it more inviting. It is looking a little dated on the interior. But the production was first rate. Were there to see Step Afrika. Our only facility concern was the placement of the speakers on the stage tuncating the views from seats in the side orchestra.
I attended the Summer Intensive Acting program under Mr. Bill Graham and others. Father Hartke was still very present on campus. What a wonderful experience I had! It exposed me to the important elements of actor training: physical fitness, improvisation, voice, speech, subtext, and simple performance skills that are required on stage to get the character across – to put the visceral presence of a person and their character on stage , in a situation that enthralls the audience and gives the viewers the thrill they came to see! What a great Dept .of Drama. Run don't walk to attend classes and performances here!
Great theater to hold a graduation. My school has held the graduation here for 4 years now and can't go wrong with the space. One thing, the air conditioner needs to be fixed in the main lobby of the theater. It's hot as hell in there.
