Raleigh Ensemble Players

Caught a play here last night. I really didn’t know what to expect. Raleigh Ensemble Players is a little theater above The Foundation bar. You wouldn’t know it was a theater from the outside. Raleigh Ensemble Players is a small local theatre group with local actors.
There’s no box office. Instead there’s a man up front with a table and tickets; payable by cash or credit. There was also a snack table with a popcorn machine, canned sodas, and candy bars. There’s 2 hallways you can take to the theater. On the right you walk down a narrow hallway and there’s 2 water fountains before the entrance to the theater. On the left there’s a narrow hallway with a couple one-​person bathrooms.
Enter the theater. It’s so small it literally holds 50 people max. 2 rows along the back wall, rows on the right side and left side each hold. There is no stage and there was no backdrop or scenery (for this particular show, but there really isn’t much room for it anyway). The actors literally perform right in front of you on the plywood flooring or around and amidst the audience.
This theater is great for an intimate performance, but it’s just for small-​scale productions. Still most enjoyable and worth checking out.
