The Sofia, Home of B Street Theatre

Came here because we scored some free tickets! I honestly wasn't expecting much, but I was very impressed! The acting and enthusiasm was amazing. I was in awe by how well they executed the show with 4 cast members. Marie Curie was a great story and a great way to learn history. I definitely read more about her afterwards.The theatre itself is modern, clean, spacious. There is a spot to purchase drinks at the bar, and right next door is T Bar with drinks and food.Parking would either be on the street or the Sutter parking structure which is $4/hr. I would definitely come back and highly recommend coming here!

Great little theatre , excellent play: The White Chip. Excellent customer service, tickets awaiting at will call, comfortable seats with great view. Super clean restrooms.The White Chip was phenomenal!

I came for their $9at9PM special. I love that for every play the theater offers a discounted night. Normally tickets usually go for $23-35 so the $9 late night show is a deal! I was able to get last minute tickets for a sold out show. Show up 20-30 minutes before and put your name on the waitlist.

attended a fieldtrip here and it was so cute. the kids got to learn about holidays of different cultures and religion. the seats itself is a little small and hard to past through, so if i were to watch a regular show i would get there early!the actors/actresses sat and answered some questions from the students as well. saw an a bar with great choices as well. ill be back for a date night lol.

First time to visit the Sofia. We came to see In a Nutshell (a Moth-centric story telling event). It was raining out when we arrived and we were glad to get into the parking garage which is part of the same block. But, you do have to exit the garage (as far as I know) to get to the front door of the theater. Very nice and helpful staff checked us in. It was general seating and we actually landed a couple really great seats. The theater is quite cozy, the vibe is relaxed, and there is not a bad seat in the house. They do serve cocktails and other drinks in the lobby which you can take to your seat as well. I highly recommend going to one or more of the In a Nutshell events. They have excellent story tellers and it is just an all around good evening to see and hear the experiences of others lives.

Haven't been here yet for a theater performance/play, but did attend the latter portion of a private event (Ph.D. graduation party for one of my longtime actor/director friends) that utilized the upstairs (2nd floor) "Gallery A" rental space which was a pretty flexible space including the attached outdoor deck seating. I missed the earlier part of the evening program; not sure if it was held elsewhere within The Sofia. We had indoor/outdoor seating and standing, an open bar, catered food (tacos, quesadillas, desserts), and even a mechanical bull set up. Talk about party accommodations! Maximum of ~100 people or so for that space, with an area for gifts, music, easy access to restrooms and water fountains. Able to crack open windows and the doors to the outside deck, umbrellas for the tables but not much lighting except for the planters on the perimeter. Cushioned wicker chairs outside. Parking recommended was the Sutter Community Garage (2700 Capitol Ave, garage entrance on 28th between Capitol Avenue and N Street).

Great overall experience with performance and atmosphere, as a first timer with friends who are members. Unfortunately, I did have a poor encounter at the bar during intermission. The team member (white male) who spoke to me was rude and kept making sassy remarks. I did not take the bait and did not engage to his level. No tip. Keep the great shows coming, but please train your service staff on the soft skills (just be nice). Would go a long way.

I went here with my son for school field trip. We watched the Nikolai Tesla play. I was really impressed with the show. Equally impressed with this building. The acoustics in it are fantastic. The lighting is on point. I Can't wait to go back to watch a different play.

Just saw a live performance of Creeptime The Podcast at The Sophia, and had a great time! The location was amazing! Clean, super nice staff, and very comfortable theatres. I'm looking forward to seeing more shows. The bar has a great selection of both alcohol and nonalcoholic drinks, so it's perfect for a quick drink before the performance.

Hard pass. Went there for the very first time with friends to hear short stories from "renowned storytellers". Sounded fun.First was a proud socialist who provided a graphic story of her raising two male squirrels that loved sucking each others -----! Next was a man who told the story of leaving his fiancé three days before an elaborate wedding to go on a ship and have an affair with a woman twice his age. The next was a woman who, interestingly enough, also claimed to be a socialist, and during Covid, invited a homeless man to live with her, seemingly enjoying bondage and her being a dominatrix, but sadly they broke up because he wanted her to pee in his mouth. ( ya can't make this stuff up)The last "Storyteller " had to let us know that he was atheist, but later said that his favorite song is Silent Night, the religious Christmas song about the birth of Jesus which he said he listened to all year long. (???) He then finished his story about a visit to Ukraine by yelling, and I quote here: 'sorry I offend anybody, but F--- Donald Trump'! That was our first and last visit to B Street. I fully understand freedom of speech, as you are welcome to speak what's on your mind, but I don't have to agree with, nor should anybody have to pay to listen to your deranged diatribe. Terribly disappointing and we all wished that we had our two hours back.
