The View UpStairs is a powerful, music-driven, immersive theatrical experience presented by SecondStory Theatre Company and performed inside Geno’s Rock Club. Set in a beloved New Orleans bar in 1973, the show celebrates community, resilience, and chosen family. The performance environment mirrors that bar setting.

Seating is limited, with additional standing-room-only space. Doors open one hour before showtime. The show is one act and runs approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.

Arrive early if you would like a chair. Some audience members will be standing for the performance. There will be a limited number of Accessible Seat Tickets available. These guarantee a chair and are reserved for patrons with accessibility needs. Please select these tickets only if needed so we can best accommodate everyone. If you are in need of an accessible seat and those specific tickets are sold out, please contact us at secondstorytheatrecompany@gmail.com and we will do our absolute best to assist.
