11:11 has made its home this season in what I have just dubbed "The Leaky Cauldron of Boston": The Factory Theatre in Boston's South End.  If you've never been, it's one of those places you'd never know was there unless you looked for it.  Seriously, check it out in Google Maps StreetView.

You stroll across an empty parking lot to what looks like the back door of an old factory.  Because it is.  Down the steps, through the door, and you're in a cozy little space, ready to see some great new shows.
