Such a fun experience! You'll watch a play take place in a real courthouse. The upper seats still have a good view of the primary stage, however you truly won't see the judge. Arrive early to ensure you're seated on time. Do not use your phone during the play! I saw the actors and staff remind patrons to put away their phones during the action. No outside food or beverage allowed. Very easy to get to the theater/courthouse via public transportation. Enjoy!
