small and intimate

If you can see someone you like here, you'll be SOOO happy! This is a great theatre. Coming from LA, I wasn't sure what to expect. The Kirkland Center is small and intimate, but still professional and accomodating.
There are only 13 rows in this theatre, so there LITERALLY isn't a bad seat in the house.
** The easiest way to get here from Seattle is the bus. Even being from out of town, it was a simple one bus route, for $3...instead of a $40 cab ride. Call up the metro and give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised.
**PS. Check at the Pike market. there is a guy in a booth selling tickets to varrious attractions, you can get your same day tickets here 1/2 price. I found this out too late! :(
- Pros: intimate, take bus from Seattle
