A gem of the Seacoast. Always punching way above their caliber, this theatre puts on shows that are so high quality, they rival the performances of major cities. Musical theatre, adult drama, kid shows and more, From the typical to the unusual, there is something for everyone at this theatre. The Red Light series shows are my favorite here because they feature dark comedy and unique musical performances by local artists who appear to be having a permanent acid trip. They bring you into their world beautifully and leave you safely in firm footing before you leave. Mad Haus in particular is a monthly television soap opera featuring a skeleton that kills people, his lover, and a story teller, and their crazy cast of rotating supporting characters, but you can only see each episode live. If you miss it, oh well. There are no reruns. The musical theatre has professional performers with high quality sound, sets, musicians, and choreography. This place is professional and beautiful, located literally underground right on the water's edge in Portsmouth. Go here for an evening of entertainment. They even take Bitcoin for tickets and drinks. Very cool.
