The Flea Theater Review

Laura Bush Killed a Man play was very good and acting was excellent

Exellent place to visit.. will recommend it to everyone

I can't review what I found difficulty finding. I really meant to go to Saturday night's performance but 'between Broadway and Church' St is like saying the Metropolitan Museum is between 5th A and Central park East. At Church street, a well-meaning girl told me her map has me walking 10minutes straight which took me to Bowling Green Station. 40 minutes and I couldn't find the theater. So I went to Barnes and Noble.

Cute theatre. I went to see Syncing Ink. Show was great!

Attended the Serials and it was alright...not worth the price

Great little theater. Perfect for enjoying a show in an intimate setting.

A wonderful off-off-Bway theater showcasing innovative productions.

This is a very cozy theater with friendly staff. I saw Southern Promises here. The production and the theater were great.

Tiny little theatre with very homy feel. We saw serials@theflea - 5 short serial plays where 3 continue on the following week based on crowd feedback. Awesome fun. $10 gets you a ticket that doubles as a beer voucher. I can now definitely understand the appeal of off-broadway. :)

I couldn't stop talking about my experience at The Flea last week. I really enjoyed the show, Ms. Estrada, a high and tight romp
on a college campus the kept the audience both laughing and thinking, simply refreshing. The theater space is small and very well designed.The ticket process is a really easy. I think I'm going to have to join to keep on having this experience over and over.

A great play written by Jewelle Gomez and produced by The Sound Of Silence (TSOS)!

The delight of top-quality Off-Off Broadway lives on.

Great place to see theater productions with lots of young, up-and-coming actors, playwrights and directors. The majority of the plays have inexpensive tickets. Plays with more established actors may have a slightly higher price. The theater recently moved to a beautiful new building with three floors.

Sweet new space. Good views of the stage, pretty intimate. Well designed bathroom friendly for all.

Really nice Theater, new facilities. Highly recommended for multiple presentations.

Beautiful theatre and performance space! Great for plays and classes.

Went for a APAP performance. Very modern and clean space. Not super huge but plenty of room if that makes any sense.

I found the show to be doing something distasteful. The first part of the show put you in a mood of questioning reality and make you think about the idea that you don t really know what is real. This was done both by characters stating this outright, and glitchy scenes, such as the same dialogue scenes being repeated by different pairs of actors verbatim and hints at a magical creature within the show s non-magical setting. Then, at the end, an actor comes on stage and begins screaming at and berating the audience. The show does have a world view it wants the audience to take on. These views include the evils of racism, a view I wholeheartedly agree with. However, I think that the majority of people would agree that leading someone to question their sense of reality then screaming at and berating them so that they take on your view is emotionally abusive and something they would not want done to them. Additionally, I believe that views anchored by something like an emotionally traumatic event (such as being screamed at intensely while being unable to respond) make people effectively less intelligent because a part of that experience exists in their mind and memory, and the possibility of it repeating influences their actions toward whatever concept the event is linked to, limiting their ability to think clearly and logically. I don't think it is acceptable for people to program others in this way, and I am angry that the theater felt so little respect for the experiences of their audience that they would try to sow a seed of fear that could remain with those audience members for a long time, increasing the fear they feel and reducing their ability to use all of their intelligence, regardless of the reason that the theater management had for doing so.

I did enjoy the performance of all the actors except the one playing the belligerent role mentioned above, and for that, I gave a 2nd star.

Love the new space. Great idea with #cereals for young audiences

Nice cozy place for small plays. I saw a performance by EPIC players and it was amazing.

Went to go see the play "Syncing Ink" here and the play was TREMENDOUS. If it's playing, you should go see it. It is GREAT immersive and interactive theater! The set of Flea Theatre really allows for that (as you can see in the pictures) and that production really took advantage of it all.

Drawback is the small lobby area and concessions are severely lacking because there really isn't much of a dedicated area for them. Some ppl just brought their own food. At least you can bring your own food and drink inside the theater.

Nices theaters shows plays and dancing. Very easy to get to.

0 STARS. THEY WILL NOT SEAT YOU IF YOU'RE 10 MINUTES LATE. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. DO NOT VISIT.
MANAGEMENT IS COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE REAL WORLD.

I use to love attending Serials at the Flea, but I was very disappointed with the set I saw in May. It seemed to be more on the level of some random college.

Interesting alternative theater to understand the world of Broadway / off & off Broadway. But don't expect anything like the fake glamor of times square ...

Great adaptation of Anna Karenina: A Riff...amazing cast and use of space.

Very cool space with a bunch of awesome shows. Great place for a night out.

Small cozy theater. There were pleasant impressions!

We saw the play THE GREAT NOVEL by Amina Henry. It was a powerful play with a splendid cast. The grandmother, played by Madeline McCray, was especially engaging. The theater is small, with only three rows, so all seats have an intimate feeling.
The play runs through June 29, 2019.

Had the privilege of seeing Southern Promises, it was an amazing experience that I will never forget.

Enjoyed the play but the box office person was confusing, rude and should be replaced by someone who can deal comfortably with patrons especially when there are problems

Very nice small theatre. All of the seats have a good view of the stage

Fulfilling a true artistic mission. The work produced here is urgent and thought-provoking and, just like the name of the theater, it get's under your skin. (in a good way).

Excellent, multi-space venue. There's are the Pete, the Siggy and the Sam, 3 spaces of varying sizes to see a range of independent theater productions. Bar in the lobby (wine, beer and soft drinks) and a CLEAN multi-gender restroom.

Great theaters. Great shows. $5 six points. What else could you ask for.

Theatre is in a wonderful new space! There is an elevator and bathrooms on the 1st level. No stairs to go up.
Several wonderful theatre spaces. We saw Southern Promises by Thomas Bradshaw ... A very innovative production. We returned for the children's play on Saturday. We also became members of The Flea Family.
Congratulations!

Several intimate Off-Broadway theater spaces with a variety of genres, many from up-and-coming playwrights. Often thought provoking, always enjoyable!

I'm glad this theatre is moving locations because its former space smelled musty like a basement. Pros: it's small and offers an intimate theatre experience.

Nice modern event space. Roomy and lots of variety in the many types of Broadway quality shows even though its off Broadway.

Cozy venue, great service, awesome theatrical experience

Cozy, very friendly and professional staff. Get there early to find parking. Love the patio. Imagine all types of unique things to offer. Carol was just awesome , focused and "on it". Saw Southern Promises, Sunday. New added screens were fabulous. Acting was excellent. Great music track...Dillon! Best Playwriter ever...Thomas Bradshaw. Party and cake just lovely!

Great play write...Thomad Bradshae

Saw a play called 'Scraps'. The title is the tip of the iceberg of a piece that is timely yet timeless. The Flea presents unique, "different" plays that are affordable. Go to this off-Broadway theater, you won't regret it.

Beautiful new space! Very cold in the theatre tho.

Update: I work here now!

NICE CLEAN THEATER.
NO LATE SEATING BUT THEY ARE VERY ACCOMMODATING WHEN IT COMES TO RESCHEDULING YOUR SHOW TIME/DAY.
VERY GOOD SHOW.DEFINITELY WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION.
THE SET AND THE ACTING WAS ON POINT.
THEY SELL LIL SNACKS AT A REASONABLE PRICE IN THE LOBBY.

Great place to catch a show. Comfortable, convenient, well-run theater.
