Powered by GoogleLoved seeing my granddaughter participating in a play. I enjoyed the children's performance.
Great performance venue! I love both watching and performing there. Most improv shows happen there!
The Santa Cruz Broadway Playhouse is a little hard to find. It's just south of Ocean Ave., in the Santa Cruz Art League building, adjacent to lobby, gift shop and gallery. This traditional Blackbox Theatre has intimate theatre seating for 62, is Wheelchair accessible, has an on site kitchen, and a auxiliary classroom available.
Great space. AFE high school theatre performance. Fabulous
I enjoyed being in the audience. The seats were comfortable. In this cozy small theatre, every seat has a great view of the stage.
