    Parking is only on the street so it was a bit challenging on Saturday night.

This was interesting, engaging and entertaining. The venue was smaller than I had anticipated, but the play was staged very ingeniously and the size of the setting was never an issue. The actors were terrific and everyone was very well cast. It was a good ending to a very nice birthday dinner for my husband.

This was a surprizly good exsperance. My date had never seen any type of acting, she was amazed how on point these performers were. all around it was a great show. filled with funny jokes, serious thought, and alittle nudity. I will defininty keep my eye on SIDEWALK STUDIOs for future shows. Thanks again for the outstanding show SIDEWALK STUDIOS.

Fun & a little serious at the same time. You really don't need to be an insider to relate to the pathos. Nice little theater & well acted, well paced performance.

The theater was beautiful. It's always and hit and miss with blackbox theaters, but this was a big hit. It had good music, a relaxed atmosphere and clean, clean, elegant restrooms. "Modern Love"
was well-acted and there was just enough laughter and drama to keep me wondering what was going to happen next. The actors that played the main leads are spot-on with their portrayls of Hollywood producers. I highly recommend it, especially for people who are trying to get into the business. I think we all feel like the writer in the beginning of the play who finally gets her work bought, only to have the producers hack into pieces. Which, the actress who played that role did it extremely well, so much that I wanted to comfort her! The whole play was very well done!
