    This is an ideal place to see stage dramas. Also good place for a book publication. They have few auditoriums with fully air conditioned. Also Namel Sir is a very kind hearted and a supportive person to all. They are showing lot of stage dramas daily. Also can discuss about a book publication sort of things. Also they give us the chance to arrange it and also stuff like food. Not that much space available here for parking though. No wheelchair accessible entrance or wheelchair accessible parking available. Wheelchair accessibility washrooms available.

    Ambiance is really good. Due to limited seating availability you better reserve your tickets in advance

    A fairly decent theatre for small-scale intimate performances. However, can get a but stuffy and congested on crowded days. This is ideal for low budget productions with minimal sets and actors. The lighting and sound equipment are fairly decent. The upstairs floor is used for various other events.

    The theater is located in one of the busiest parts of Colombo city and presents dramas. This is not a very large theatre. The stage setting is clever. Therefore it provides close vicinity between audience and actors.  So every audience member can see what's going on including facial expressions. The seats are close together and leg-space provided is quite okay. Parking is a concern but manageable. Hence recommend arriving early. Handling and attention at the ticketing counter should need to improve.

    The place is situated in the middle of the busiest of cities. However the inside is very calm and charming. The stage it got is small compared to the similar places in the town and the audience is too packed. Not a large crowd can be accommodated. Parking is also an issue since it doesn't have a proper parking area.

    Not a bad place. Small theater. Run down. Toilets are not that good. Tickets are around RS. 1000.00 Have dramas all the time. If possible pre book the shows. Limited seats. Seats are not comfortable at all. Can have more of a personalized experience.

    My experience is positive!!! This is a very artistic place which gives another kind of feeling towards the audience. The theatre is also well designed👌❤

  • 3/5 Chathura W. 8 months ago on Google
    Best place for stage shows. But L line in balcony is not recommended at all. Air conditioning is not available to last chairs.

  • 5/5 Anushanka N. 11 months ago on Google
    Since its a small theater there is no issue with the seating as anyone can see and hear the stage properly. Air conditioned

  • 4/5 Ashani J. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice cozy place to have events ! On Saturday at 11 am they have a very good Karate class for kids and adults conducted by National coach RJ Edward . Really good class

  • 5/5 Thanura W. 9 months ago on Google
    Small sized set of theatres at a very convenient location. The building also is a work of art that resembles a termite colony. The size of these theatres enable new artists to portray their works at an affordable price. This meant this theatre enables new productions to blossom. The quality of the services in the location are basic and have room to grow. But overall it's a pleasant experience.

    A very nice place to enjoy the stage drama with your kids. Since it is not very big, you can clearly see everything and hear everything. Generally tickets are Rs.2000 at the front, Rs. 1500 at the back and RS. 800 for balcony. Even at the balcony everything is very clear as it is a small hall.

    We practice Zumba in one of the halls at this location. They have pretty good halls that you could rent out for a day or for certain hours.

    It was my first time here and i was mesmerized by this beauty stands still at Borella. Once you enter anyone can smell the flourishing art and theatre. Small space but with comfortable chairs to sit, AC to enjoy and tons of plays to watch.

    Everything is perfect. Seating and A/C! Perfect. Its better if you can maintain a shop with short eats and biscuits where currently its only beverages and we have to go outside to bring food.
