Get Intimate.
What is intimate theatre, anyway? It's hard to say because of the incredible diversity of the art form. But one thing is for sure: it's as close as you can get without holding a karaoke mic, and no one wants that, do they? No. Intimate theatre engages you because you are there in the space with the performers, breathing the same air, experiencing the story more directly, more personally than in any other medium. You can't get that from the boob tube, can you?

Whether you currently consider yourself a “theater-goer” or not, you are going to love life on the other side of The 5th Wall... Following each Main Event, The 5th Wall takes over the space and the stage explodes in a stunning array of smaller productions – all based around the themes of the Main Event. Come for the Main Event, and stay afterwards to continue the journey. Or come after the show, for The 5th Wall, and be inspired to return for the Main Event. Admission to The 5th Wall is currently free. Check The 5th Wall Calendar for exceptions. .... Doors open for The 5th Wall after the Main Event.
