"It’s the last legitimate rock venue in the North Bay. Not a posh theater with comfy seat cushions and a platinum-card ZIP code. Not a bar where adults suck down libations and stake their claim in the local meat market. But an honest-to-God, rough around the edges, punk emporium where waifish teens with angsty expressions, tattoos and drooping ear gauges rule the mosh pit." They typically only host shows on Friday and Saturday nights. Their mission is to foster the emotional, physical, and social development of the young people they serve by enabling them to create and engage in programs for music, the arts, and health and wellness, while preserving and improving the historic Phoenix Theater as a resource for youth and the community at large.
