The venue was founded in 1979 by Toby Orenstein and grew from a modest performance space into a regional entertainment hub. Its productions have earned widespread recognition within the theatre community over the decades.
The theatre stages eight shows per week, blending professional musical productions with a buffet dining setup that weaves entertainment and dining together in one experience. Guests experience how performance and meals happen side by side in this space.
