Unfortunately, I wrote to them about renting space for a new musical that l was involved with AND no one got back to me. So I would say that was very poor customer service.

First time here and although it was a smaller theater, seats were comfortable and any seat in the house would be good. We saw Ladies during the preview night. It was interesting overall and I enjoyed it. The set was simple.

So I was here with a friend who wanted to watch RII. I'll have to admit that I'm not much into Shakespeare but I can appreciate the three actors who managed to portray different characters. You have to appreciate an actor and their craft when their set is at a minimal, and their costumes are as well and yet you can observe and appreciate the subtleties of character change with a slight mussing up of hair, an injured arm, a scarf that becomes an indication that the actor that was to be king is now queen, or the actor who was the uncle now becomes the priest or abbot.
The small theatre is small and intimate. The seating is comfortable and the place is well ventilated. Thank god as sometimes being at a stuffy place can be so unbearable. Once again, great venue and really great actors.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 -

I came here to see a reboot/modern version of Streetcar Named Desire. The play was great. Boston Court itself is a great venue. Small, but comfortable theater. Free parking in the back. And everyone there was very nice. I would definitely come back for other productions here. Thank you for some great theater!

The Boston Court puts on some fantastic productions. I have always been wowed by their set designs, costumes, and quality of the actors. There isn't a bad seat in the house. My all-time favorites are Everything You Touch and also Colony Collapse. The Boston Court often has discussions afterward with the director or actors, and if not something formal they typically hang out afterward to meet up with friends and fans. They also have some free parking spots, which is a huge bonus, and you can buy drinks (alcoholic and non) and snacks. The theatre is also located in a great area with plenty of restaurants to go to before the show.

Living in Pasadena for a couple decades and passing by this little theater for at least a thousand times, I finally get to visited this enchanting theater today.
The play I watched today is called How the Lights Gets in. The story is definitely everyone can relate to. Many people are struggling with individual life alone, and often forgetting to connect to others. In the end the four characters saw lights of future. The performance was excellent, the stage design, lighting and sound were all adequate, not overly excessive to overpower the audiences. The stage is quite close to the frontline, and one can feel the connection immediately.
Other than this theater hall, the Boston Court also has a concert hall. I heard not only the public can go there to enjoy the concert, it is also rentable if one wants to host a private concert.
The general ticket for today's show was $39, and I think it was a great experience.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 -

A beautiful and intimate local performing arts Center. A wonderfully modern design without being cold. And plentiful free parking in their own lot.
They have two theatres. The mainstage is a 99-seater with fully modernized fly in a stage configuration that's a partial, oval, raised thrust as opposed to a flat proscenium. A fairly unique arrangement. But the physical space is irrelevant in most ways. What one comes for is a great performance.
So special kudos to co-artistic director Jessica Kubzansky and her fascinating programming. As a director, her taste is interesting while accessible and when bringing other artists to the stage she gives them the room to create as they desire, while bringing in some fascinating collaborators.
The choice to commission Theater Movement Bazaar's Tina Kronis and Richard Alger was genius. Their production of Chekhov's The Treatment (an adaptation of his short story Ward Six) was a rare treasure like few theaters have the daring to produce compared to the normally venal and vapid selections on display In our city of Angels.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 -

Boston Court is on the same street as the Ice House. They have their own parking lot which is easily entered if you were going straight on Boston Court (don't make a right onto Mentor as google maps suggested). However, since there was street parking, that's where I parked.
The box office is inside and I didn't receive actual tickets. Your programs acted as tickets and it apparently was open seating.
There's plenty of seating in the lobby. I checked out the concession stand and they had vegan cookies for sale along with some of the usual snacks. They didn't appear to have cheap wine for sale though.
The seats are a bit sunken in. The stage seems a bit too high up but I didn't notice after a while since the show was so fun (Rated RSO). I was a bit worried at first though when all that hardwood flooring seemed to have the sound bouncing everywhere.
I didn't use the facilities but I'm sure they're as nice as the lobby and stage.
