Best aerial studio in town, the whole space is customizable, plus there is a turntable with 5 boxes of old records

A review of sorts, to whoever might be interested in performance, creativity or live theatre....Anyone who has searched for a performance space in San Francisco will tell you that it is a monumental endeavor not be take on by the faint of heart! Depending on your project, your artistic vision, your personal stamina and, not least, your budget, you will eventually come to the conclusion that, regardless of its reputation for open-mindedness and creativity, it is practically impossible to find a place in the windy city that is truly workable.I, though I am notably stubborn in certain regards, had, after searching for and visiting a multitude of possible locations for just about half a year, come to the conclusion that what I was looking for did not, in fact, exist.I had just one more theatre to look at before completely giving up....Thank goodness I had not, because the minute I stepped into Little Boxes Theatre, I knew I had finally arrived at the place I was looking for!!!There is an air about the place that is very hard to describe. Located in a warehouse near 3rd St., there is no exterior indication that would lead you to believe how warm, welcoming and compelling the place will feel once you get inside. High ceilings, tiered comfortable seating, a large open performance area, one senses an artistic openness, spatial malleability and a naturally inclusive intelligence to the space the minute you walk in the door. The same characteristics with which I would describe the folks who are the heart and soul of this theater - Aaron and Christina! Dancers, models, photographers, producers, entrepreneurs, set design/builders, directors, creative collaborators, Aaron and Kitty (Christina) can make almost anything happen in that space.And we did! Though an opera had never been produced at Little Boxes before our production, with the help of Aaron, Kitty and a host of others, we produced a chamber version of Verdis Macbeth that was unlike any other! Though there were challenges, of course, the theater proved to be an amazing place to bring that provocative musical story to life.Little Boxes Theater is an extraordinary, completely unique place. Anything you can imagine can be created there. As long as Aaron and Kitty are there, Teatro Mistral will be creating performances there too!Vismaya Lhi - Artistic Director/Teatro MistralTeatro Mistral

The LBT is one of the best places I have ever done a photoshoot in! The owners are so kind and professional. They have created a space unlike any place I have been a part of. There are multiple areas in the space for different concepts ( from their gorgeous bathtub to their stage to their pole and ariel work) and the space truly is magical! Its located in a warehouse near third st in San Francisco and although on the outside you arent sure what space it will be, on the inside it is warm, artistic, creative, and magical. The ceilings are high, there is gorgeous and comfortable seating, there is plenty of places to dance, perform, photograph, and create art in. This place is for you! Whether you are an opera singer, a director, a dancer, a model, a photographer....look no further than this beautiful space.Aaron and Christina are the kindest and most generous owners I have ever worked with and they will be so helpful and accomodating to you. They are truly one of a kind, as is Little Boxes Theater. You will not regret booking a slot here for your artistic endeavor!-Yuliya Eydelnant - Model

If you are searching for studio space for rehearsal, Little Boxes Theater is an awesome space for it. I found this gem through Bay Area Performing Arts Spaces website and I continue to rehearse my company there whenever I need a space. Christina is one of the owner there. She is very welcoming and efficient if you have any queries. The theater offers shows and performances to the publics as well. It is an intimate theater with a cool eclectic vibe. I highly recommend this theater space!

What an experience! I went there for Imaginatio Arts latest production and wow! One part artist loft, one part little theatre, completely captivating and fun. Once again a little tricky to find if you dont know your way. Just take the elevator to the second floor and follow the signs to this little Jewel of the San Francisco arts scene.

Ive been to Little Boxes Theater a few times now and Ive never been disappointed :). Its an awesome, unassuming venue thats perfect for shows, photoshoots, classes, etc. - basically anything creative!Some slight issues (but not really):- Once you arrive at the building, the theater can be a little tricky to find since signage is limited (I guess I should have read the website better lol), but its basically upstairs (2nd floor) and to the right.- On a similar note (and in agreement with another review I read), it can be confusing for first-timers since even after youre inside the venue, its not totally clear what areas are in and out of bounds.Besides that, I cant really think of anything else, so all good. I did my first photoshoot here and the photos turned out amazinggg. I would highly recommend it and Im seriously considering doing another one soon.
