content: So. I'm an actress. And as an actress, it probably isn't wise to knock any institution associated with anyone that could give me the opportunity to claim my (rightful) spotlight on stage. But...\n\nLook. The MainLine, while certainly having its charm and character (I love the vintage local production posters, and the sign before the theatre entrance that reads, \""Beware of Pickpockets and Loose Women\""), is a ventilation-free, hot as hell, dusty fixer-upper with broken, squeaky chairs and ripped up, moldy carpetted stairs in desperate need of a cosmetic facelift. And a good shampoo.\n\nThe redeeming quality of this blink-and-you'll-miss-it venue are the actual shows that are staged in the theatre. I've seen some amazing performances here this past year - and the MainLine is one of the venues used for the annual Fringe Fest, \n\nBottom line: check out the MainLine if you want to catch some good, underrated quality theatre performances. Just pack an icy cold bottle of water in your bag - and please watch your step.
