17. It was quite amazing. Believe it or not, the theater was close to sold out. I've never seen it quite so full.

The Princeton Garden Theater is basically an art house. Most shows are lucky to have 20 or 30 people. I'd estimate there were 250 people.

It's at the Princeton Garden Theater, a non profit theater acquired from an old "for profit" theater. NNadir Jul 10 #6
Sounds like a cool set-up! Reminds of the old art theater in downtown Baltimore -- the Charles (or "The Chuck"). eppur_se_muova Jul 10 #8
Looks interesting, but I never go to Baltimore. The Charles was founded in 1939, the Princeton Garden in 1920. NNadir Jul 10 #12
