Unique

Looking for a standout venue?

Barking Legs Theater is like nothing else in town. Features Include:

  • Live acoustics

  • Steinway grand piano

The distinctive decor includes art, furniture, and embellishments crafted by local artists, including Ashley Hamilton, Andrew Nigh, and Stephen Terlizzese. Our restrooms have recently been transformed into full art installations by Alecia Vera Buckles, Sara-Ann Waggoner, and Justin Butts (MuteOn).

Even the piano is one of a kind, reportedly once a fixture in the famous Birdland jazz club in New York City.
