L’unitheatre

Went here for the first time last night to see a dance performance. The theatre is small — looks like it can seat around 100 people — and pretty basic. The audio seemed fine but they were only playing recorded music so I don’t know what it would be like for a live performance.
Two pet peeves:
— The seats aren’t staggered at all so the person in front of you is right in front of you. Moving their head at the same time as you are moving your head, etc. If you get stuck behind someone taller than you, it’s pretty much tough luck, suck it up. Also, not a lot of leg room, rows very close together.
— I don’t know if it’s just because it was –30 outside, but it was boiling hot in the theatre. I got a little dizzy! A few of my friends commented on it as well.

L’UniTheatre is a gorgeous theatre in Edmonton that is sometime forgotten by the general public. Tucked away in the french quarters of Edmonton L’UniTheatre produces its own french theatrical programming as well as is a popular rental venue for companies such as Good Women Dance Collective and Workshop West Theatre. It is also programmed heavily during the Fringe Festival.
Built in the late 1990’s the theatre is a beautiful space with 3 levels of seating stacked in a manner that allows everyone to be near to the stage and with great sight lines. There really aren’t any bad seats in the house. The theatre remains well kept, easy to access and a great spot in a beautiful neighbourhood.
