“I just saw a show there last night April 2023, cabaret, The story was very interesting and intense, every actor could sing, every actor could dance, They had the orchestra on the very top level/stage/ very well lit, The stage and the props were just perfect all the way around, I'm so impressed and I cannot wait to come back to another show here, This place this /facility is just as good as seeing a play at any other Top Theater in San Diego.”
