What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise the talented actors and intimate venue with good sightlines, often highlighting entertaining productions like "Every Christmas Story Ever Told" and "The Play That Goes Wrong." However, some find recent productions to be overly avant-garde or vulgar, deviating significantly from traditional Shakespeare and not being family-friendly.

Nice venue with fun shows. Would not recommend using the parking lot right right next to it.

We went to the sensory friendly performance of Emma and loved it. Very funny, incredible performance, and relaxing for me as a parent knowing my kids were not being rapidly drained by sensory barrage and expectations to mask as a neurotypical audience member. CSC did an amazing job hosting us, and giving us a wonderful evening.

EMMA, among the latest. Look no further, this place has it all. Cultural erasure, double standards. Anglo-Saxon heritage, just like Jane imagined. LOL. If you are looking for nonsense, you won’t be disappointed. I’m sure all the White actors who may be more aligned with Jane’s vision are very pleased. "My good opinion once lost is lost forever." "I could not have believed it possible.” "I have none of that over-shifting, fluctuating, excessive openness." “You know what we need, less YT. We Wuz Jane” - Jane Austen
