Golden Boy is the heart-wrenching story of a talented musician and athlete who is torn between his love of the violin and the money he can make as a boxer. Golden Boy was first staged during the Great Depression. The issues it raises of choosing between material needs and spiritual ones were profoundly relevant at the time and remain relevant to this day.

Dreadful overacting and poor scene transition. I left at intermission. Theatre service was also very poor. It took them 20 minutes to get 20 people into the theatre. I stood in line for 25 minutes and when they had finally got me in, the show had already started which no one warned us about. There was another 15 people in line behind me. Even though the program said no intermission, there was one thankfully as I left. Very poor execution all around.

The Odets play is interesting and worth seeing, the production is uneven but includes very good acting in key roles, the intimacy of the small theater is a plus, I was very glad to see it, and I recommend it.

The show was great and we loved the theater. It was wonderful to still feel some local flavor in SF and support a location with so much wonderful history. This was not a 'big' production but that is exactly why we loved it so much. We liked the show but loved the theater. We look forward to attending another production there in the future.
