Small community theater. Show was part of a summer camp program. All did very well as part of a learning experience. They followed social distancing and mask wear policies.

My first ever musical stage play. I was expecting to politely enjoy it. Was I in for a surprise. It was incredible entertainment and the kids were so talented. Memorable. Really.

Went to watch the childrens production of Chitty Chitty bang bang. The kids were wonderful. The venue was hot inside the main area but the theater itself was a good temp. However, when the doors opened at intermission it became uncomfortable. The chairs are old probably havent been changed out so he were you will probably have a lump or to to maneuver around. Bathrooms are good and clean.

We were there for the Alice in Wonderland play. We got front seats. It is definitely a community sponsored theater. We loved the small community feel.The play was exceptional. All the actors were good and we enjoyed seeing so many ages of children on the stage together.During intermitant, they auctioned off a signed poster. I thought that was an added bit of entertainment.At the end of the play was the only time I thought the temperature was warm. It definitely wasnt hot (no sweating here), so no complaints, really. I hope they are able to get the a/c fixed for the benefit of the actors though.The actors were so good that it inspired my 10 year old to consider auditioning some time.

Great place to take the family/kids. The plays are performed by kids. Lots of fun for the family. The volunteers are friendly and helpful. We had a group of 15 girls and 8 adults they helped accommodate our large group.

For a community theater this is pretty fair. The pricing seemed a little high and the facilities are ho hum but it had what you need for a performance. Also they are upgrading their AC so it will only get better.

This is a fun community theatre that does a pretty good job on the performance. Everyone who wants to act gets a part. We will come back again to help support them.

Community theater run and acted by locals.

5th time to attend and it has been steadily downhill. The acting has gotten to be terrible and performers always singing off key. Decided that since we were driving across town to attend and leaving at intermisson meant we were wasting our time, money and gas.

True community theater experience! Loved the welcome feeling, that behind the scenes is all run by volunteers, and the unique and wonderful experience for kids to learn all the ins and outs of theater! The summer camp taught my daughter the true meaning of no small roles... thank you for a great experience, we are excited to do more!

We attended the second performance of Mary Poppins on Saturday evening. What a nice treat. The cast was huge and the ensemble numbers were great. There was a bit of off key singing, but so what. The entire thing was done with such enthusiasm and charm. I think it was an absolute winner.Get your tickets fast. Most performances are nearly sold out.

A great place to see the revivals of your favorite shows. The cast is always very talented and outgoing after the performances. The venue is conveniently located with plenty of free parking. Besides family oriented, its an awesome place to take a date.

I absolutely love this theatre. A great place for family and friends to enjoy a night out for quality entertainment. There is something for everyone. Whether you are an actor or a volunteer, once your in you are a part of the family.

A very inviting and relaxed atmosphere. The performances are well done. Although the theater has some run down areas, it is overall clean and comfortable.

Review №26

No or very little air conditioning. No emergency exits properly marked. Poor technology - most actors wore mics that either didnt work at all or were static filled. The mics arent needed because this is a small venue. Acting was mediocre high school at best. Tickets over-priced. One ticket seller while the other window was strictly for will call but no line. We left 15 minutes into the play due to hard to hear plus 80+deg temps. I got the impression most patrons are friends/family of performers. We wont go back. In this case, you dont get what you pay for. $18 is ridiculous.

It needs a lot of work. I understand how hard local theaters work, trust me its not easy. Getting little to no pay, depending on peoples charity, trying to figure out how to create the next play on a shoe string budget. Not always easy but possible. This one though I get the sense the owners stopped caring years ago. A lot of the staff are kids or perhaps friends/family member of whoever owns the place. I note this because when I went to buy my tickets and no one knew what they were doing on top of that waiting 20 minutes tells me that they really dont care. Thats what happens sometimes when you dont pay people for work. This is may guess though. Along with that its been time after time bad productions, like I said I understand how local theaters work. Though when you meet challenges youre suppose to think of creative ways to work around it, not skimp because you dont have the production cost. A lot of the kids looked like their parents forced them into it or since their friends where doing it they decide to do it too. Way too much breaking out of character, a lot of going of script. I get the sense most of them want to be the funny guy so they all try to one up each other with one liners to see who gets the most laughs at the end of the show. I agree with the last comment the kids do not need mics, its so obvious that they dont. All in all I can see at one point how someone might have tired but lost the magic. Which is such a shame this place does have potential to make some really great work.
