Spotlighters Theater is a true treat.  The company clearly enjoys themselves during every performance.  It may be a drama, comedy, or musical... it does not matter the show is going to be great. The stage is small and in the square. Every seat is less than 2 rows away, making for a very intimate experience.  The view is always changing and evolving.  Do yourself a favor and catch a show. You will not regret it
