Saw The Legend of Georgia McBride. Was absolutely amazing. Casting was perfect. Performance was perfect.

Used to go to the old location all the time as a kid growing up for different plays and musicals. Went tonight with my parents for the first time to the new location. The building is beautiful.

The attached restaurant, Tea Bar & Fusion Cafe, is good and was a lovely choice before the show as well. Huge selection of tea (Sparkling Strawberry Lime). Great food (Pork + Cous Cous Bowl).

Beautiful new location and building. Everything looks and feels so nice. The play felt a little pricey for what we got - it was a stripped down version of The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe -- only two actors -- and it lasted an hour for $17 per person. If I wanted to bring my kids that wouldn't have felt like a good deal. Enjoyed myself, though.

Fabulous little theater with wonderful plays. Great setting that easily brings the audience into the play. New location has a nice inside waiting area with a small concessions area that serves refreshments including beer and wine. There are also plenty of standup tables and chairs. Don't miss seeing one of their productions!

I've been a season subscriber for over 15 years & have introduced a number of people to the B Street Theatre. I LOVE this theatre & the great actors. We are lucky to have them, & I can hardly wait until the new theatre is built & completed.

B st theatre is the smallest theatre I have been to, but, this theatre's productions are amazing! The theatre has a cozy feeling and the small room that the plays are held in is quite comfortable. This theatre is the best. Good job B St!

This was the last performance I saw at their B Street address. I always have a great time with their plays. I have never been disappointed. I have been to the new B Street Theatre and it was definitely worth the wait. The stage, the backdrops and everything is awesome!!!

Nice theater. The play you watch and how good it is depends on the viewer. Would be a great little concert venue. When I went, there was only one person in the place that wasn't white and he was in the play.

Lovely new theater! The highly venerated B-Street theater in Sacramento has a new location on Capitol avenue. It's a state-of-the-art, beautiful venue with garage parking right next door off of 27th Street. The staff is very friendly and the production company is known for highly professional productions. Their bathrooms are very nice and clean, and they have a full bar with friendly tenders.

Fantastic little venue! I am giving 5 stars due to the experience I had there at the emerging artists showcase.

This is not a formal theatre experience. Expect to spend $6-15 per drink. Everything is contemporary, clean and well staffed.

Beautiful design and functional building holding a valuable art performance venue in Sacramento. Saw Matt Scoffield in a great Blues show while a live stage show was entertaining others on second theatre stage.

While the staff at the theater today were lovely, I was appalled by the blatant attack on our children's innocence in regards to our right as parents to choose when to teach our children about the new movement among transgendered people to call themselves by pronouns other than he or she. Following the "Sword in the Stone" play, during the Q&A many kids were surprised to realize that many of the male characters in the play were actually women in real life.

The female actress explained how she had played a different part but that she refers to herself with the "pronouns she and her".... next the "Wizard" in the play who was cast as a male but wore high heels and acted very effeminate during the play, loudly declared to the audience of 4th graders and under "My name is ----- and I prefer the pronouns THEY and THEM!!"

Taking school children to see a play, should NOT include indoctrination of multiple gender All parents of children in attendance today should be notified of the choice your company made without warning the attending schools first.

Way too loud for children under five. The ridicule of Alexander by his older siblings was exaggerated and because the actors were adults it was scary for my 3 and 5 year granddaughters. If you go .get a seat at the back of the small theater so the conflicts and noise are so close to the audience.

Just renewed my subscription for the third time. Today we saw "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and it was great. The actors really drew me in to the story and I understood new levels of subtlety that I have missed in the movie version. Though I am not a sophisticated theatre critic, I know what I like and B Street always delivers. Really looking forward to the new venue!

Beautiful new space. But... I went for a Mandy Harvey concert and when my husband called to see if there would be interpreters (the performer is deaf), the person on the phone had no idea and said "well we usually don't...". It wasn't until my husband said "but the performer is deaf so..." that the worker went to check. First off, any time you have accessibility features, advertise it! People won't go if you don't. Second, educate employees about access features so if people call, they're not immediately turned off by "idk but probably not".

When we arrived (for the concert with a deaf performer) they didn't have interpreters or other visual access. Instead people immediately started speaking to people entering. While there weren't many deaf attendees, this was a major turn off as I entered, especially given the "idk we probably won't have interpreters" my husband told me about from his phone conversation.

Then, the assistant director who welcomed the performer to the stage started talking before the interpreter was in place. This is always a bad practice but an even more egregious issue when the performer is deaf!

Educate employees and be sensitive to access needs and you'll get a lot more people willing to go to your theatre.

This is a great new performance venue. Two full theaters and another small room are available for different performances. I thoroughly enjoy coming here and watching the variety of interesting shows here. Plus they have local wines and candies for sale that makes things a little more fun.

Watched "A Christmas Carol" yesterday. Funny. Intimate. There's not a bad seat in the house. Membership is the way to go. Great way to introduce your kids to professional theatre that isn't boring. They also support the community because our tickets were won at our school's Craft Fair raffle. We will be back for Wizard Of Oz. Our new family Christmas tradition.

Visited new theater. Beautiful! Was in training as a volunteer, did not see a performance therefore cannot comment on acoustics. Complex houses three stages: 365 seats, 250 seats , and 110 (standing room). Yet peeking in small stage, three rows of chairs were set up. Appears enough to set up a few more 10-15 across. Definitely smaller than 365 and 250 stages.

Smallest stage is upstairs. There are bathrooms on second floor as well. Bar is located on first floor. Cafe soon should be open, located across enclosed patio.

Seating area for wheelchairs near stage.
