Best Theater to Get Your Silly On

The Gaslight Theatre

The fare at the Gaslight Theatre is not Shakespeare or Tennessee Williams, and it doesn't pretend to be. So, any theater snobs out there: Buck up; give it a try; and be prepared to laugh. The productions at this eastside playhouse have little to do with the Pinter pause or Greek tragedy; it really is all about fun. The group takes old themes and recycles them into musical melodramas that require audience participation; those boos and cheers for villains and heroes come naturally. An evening can become a dinner-theater event, of sorts, with pizza offerings from next door at Grandma Tony's (or there's also a really good Chinese buffet in the same shopping center).
