How do I find good off-theater and smaller venues in my city?

Google Maps is your best friend for that - just search for "theater," "small theater," or "off-theater" plus your city and check out the reviews and photos. Even better: follow local culture pages on Instagram or Facebook; they post regularly about what's on, and you'll often find hidden gems there that not everyone knows about. A lot of smaller venues also have newsletters you can sign up for - that way you won't miss any premieres 🎭

Instagram and Facebook are often underrated for this - lots of smaller theaters only post their schedules there and skip the traditional theater websites 🎭 just shoot them a message or give them a call, the people are usually super helpful and will give you tips on other venues in the area. plus: if you subscribe to their newsletter, you'll get updates on premieres and special events that nobody else knows about.
