Boca Black Box is a small theater in Boca Raton, Florida. How was the venue? A black box theater is an unadorned large, square performance space that typically has black walls and flat floor. The theater, nestled in a shopping mall, holds approximately 275 people. Because of its small size and unobstructed seating arrangement, there really wasn’t a bad seat in the house. The seats aren’t permanent. There was also a small amount of cocktail seating on both sides of the house. How was the parking? There was more than ample parking in the shopping plaza to accommodate a full house. Parking is free. There was no valet. However, minimal walking was required. Does the venue serve liquor? Yes. How were the drinks? The venue offered a fair amount of cocktails, wine and beer. The wait staff serves the beverages cabaret-style both before and during the show. The drinks are nothing fancy, and they’re a bit pricey. For example, a “Jim Beam and Coke” was $9. A domestic beer was $6.50. Does the venue serve food? No. How much were the tickets? $30 and $40.
