The Storefront Theatre

I came here for the opening gala of the Storefront Theatre and their production of Wait Until Dark. I didn’t really know what to expect and when I first walked in I wasn’t sure I was in the right place! Its a very unassuming set-​up. But don’t let this fool you, their is a quality and attention to detail hidden in its design. From the interesting artwork along the risers, to the stage itself, I was impressed.
The theatre seats around 50 people. Its small and intimate. They serve beer and wine (but you cannot drink on the rafters). I sat front and centre for Wait Until Dark. Very cool experience as the actors were literally a couple feet away from me. I felt part of the drama and really got to appreciate the skill of each actor. When I first came in, I saw the stage and thought ‘oh ok, this used to be someone’s home and they kept the kitchen section and made it a stage’. As the play continued I realized the stage itself had been handcrafted with acute attention to detail. From the stains on the washing machine, to the plastic blinds on the window-​everything was created for this production.
I really enjoyed the play and would recommend to any theatre lover. Acting is outstanding as is the intimate feel. For $ 20/​ticket you can’t really go wrong.
This was my first experience with Red One Theatre Collective. I’ll be back for more :)
