Saw Anna Bella Eema in Dec 2011 or early 2012 . I remember MUDGIRL! The theater actors are very intimate (close) I’d bring a jacket and be prepared for original content in a good way. This was a first date night I was invited to. It felt like on par with dreams, surreal.

The price, it is pretty good. Some of the performances are sometimes very abstract and confusing. If you're not used to theater and you just want to check it out, make sure when you read the description of the play it has a story line. That way, you might be watching a less confusing play. Try to be generous with the tickets because those actors work really hard and well.

Match is an amazing venue, my date and I went to see Toast. It was bizzare and the dissection of media references and the play of aesthetics and dialogue was stimulating, entertaining, and well executed. The venue had comfortable seats and their pay what you can made the play accessible. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent theatre stage. Well done. Very intimate setting. I went to watch Curse of the Starving Class. It was very memorable. Attentive staff and great acting and directing. And, you get to drink while watching.
