My maiden voyage here was to see a restage of The Finger Players' "Turn By Turn We Turn". Who knew there was great theatre to be enjoyed within the confines of the National Library Building?
Take the elevators to the 5th floor, take a right on the first hallway you see, and the box will be waiting for you. There is a good space outside that's perfect for waiting before the theatre opens. There were also some bench/sofa things* if you're looking for a place to sit. For this performance, The Finger Players utilized the space by having an exhibition set up with photos on the walls and displays of really cool puppets from their past performances.
The theatre itself is exactly as described: it's a black box! The walls and ceilings are black. The chairs are okay; not too plush but they get the job done. The sound system was top notch, though a little loud at times. I thought it was really cold inside; I was fine but for those who get cold easily, be sure to bring a sweater!
I found it to be a very intimate venue, perfect for watching plays put on by local theatre troupes. I highly recommend catching a show here at least once!

*I do not know my furniture terms. Basically, it's the kind that you see at art museums that you're allowed to sit on, but it doesn't have a back. What are those called?!
