Alley Stage

BF and I came to Alley Stage to watch the Next Stage Theatre Company’s [extended] performance of the Cabaret. It wasn’t difficult to find, after following the directions on their website, but if I hadn’t come across that, we probably would have been wandering the streets of Marietta Square for quite some time. Why? Because Alley Stage is truly down a little alley lol.
The venue itself reminded me of an improv theatre I went to once with a group of friends. As you enter, there is an immediate inclining slope, with the ticket box to your right just before the entrance to the theatre. Inside, there were about eight or nine rows of seating directly in front of the stage, with five seats to each side (six, if you count the additional seats they put in) except for the last row, which had seats stretching all the way across. There were also chairs to the left and right of the stage to seat more people for the performance. Both BF and I found that they were not very comfortable and we quickly found ourselves quite restless.
There was a live band that played along the performance. They also sold snacks and canned drinks sold for a dollar each. Alcoholic beverages of Yuengling, red wine, and white wine were also available.
