    just an absolutely fabulous space where bound-for-Broadway shows incubate and refine for greatness. we went to see "Water for Elephants" and it was wonderful... even though the show itself needs work, the new Alliance space is the perfect setting where creatives can shine. terrible sound at Atlanta Symphony notwithstanding, the side-by-side pairing of both Symphony and Alliance is like having a Manhattan-show experience right here in Atlanta. we are very lucky to have such an important cultural experience here. if Florida is the 6th borough of Manhattan, Atlanta is the 7th--and yes I will die on that hill. I went to see "The Color Purple" when it was in previews, and it ended up a Broadway hit. go see any show at the Alliance and it's a de facto preview of what will open and thrive on Great White Way.

    We watched A Christmas Carol at Alliance Theatre in Atlanta. We had a great time! The theatre had a modern feel : the balcony and boxes looked quite unusual and intricate, constructed with what looked like wicker. Acoustics were great ! We were able to hear everything clearly as though we were sitting right next to the performers. A couple of things we liked about the theatre : they let you inside the lobby area early, unlike other theaters, there are plenty of seating areas so that you don't need to stand until they open the doors and parking is very convenient (they have $40 valet or $18 self parking - we did self) . They also share their back patio with the Art museums and a cafe, so you can grab a cup of coffee or experience the museums without having to look for parking. The play was fantastic in itself - we thoroughly enjoyed it!

    I watched Trading Places at Alliance Theatre and had a really good time. The show really made me think about how close we can be to misfortune.

    Went to see Pearl Cleage's Angry, Raucous, and Shamelessness Gorgeous at the Alliance Theatre. It was a lovely experience. The theater is well lit and the seats are very comfortable. Each seat has a great view of the stage, so there's no bad seat in the house. The design of the actual theatre is nice as well. I went with a large party and we all said we'd be coming back. *The theatre that we were in was only the second play in the newly renovated space. There's an orchestra pit that allows space for a full orchestra. The stage moves in to accommodate the musicians. It is lovely!

    I highly recommend A Christmas Carol at The Alliance Theater. I try to go every year because it is such a wonderful play. It definitely gets you in the Christmas spirit and reminds you about the importance of giving. The production was high end with incredible special effects. The actors were quite talented and several had amazing singing voices. Just a warning, I don't think this show is for small children. The little boy in front of us was scared of the ghost and started crying. But I do think it is a great show for teenagers and adults! I will go back next year!

    I recently visited the Alliance Theatre for a few occasions and have to say I'm really impressed! We saw the English-language debut of an award winning Korean musical, Maybe Happy Ending. The set at the Coca-Cola stage was amazing! I will totally come back again!

    I enjoyed my time seeing this very inspiring play. The theater was buzzing with people going to see various performances. The play was thought provoking, powerful, and inspiring. The staff was nice m, the place was spotless and they started on time! It was a nice intimate space that made it feel like I was in my living room. Glad I got out to see this!

    2 of the actors, including a brilliant singer Trevor Rayshay Perry - terrific actor too.

    I saw Eavesdropping at Black Box theatre at Woodruff/Alliance Theatre tonight. A tiny theatre nestled on the 3d floor hosts original productions featuring professional and starting young actors, local composers and exuberance! The show my friends and I saw was a musical based on overheard conversations at a coffee shoppe. Some of us were set decor by sitting at a table in the coffee shop set. It was incredible sitting among and with the actors as they sang and moved about the stage. We laughed and had a blast - you could even order coffee and pastries on set before the show started! This show is so much fun - the cast are participating in an acting workshop - and they were so talented. The composer, John Cerreta created great music and scripted lyrics based on observations & conversations that were authentic and moving and funny. James Baskin, Catie Counsel and Kelsi Adams were standouts in acting and singing but truly all of the actors contributed beautifully to the production. Director CW Thornton did an amazing job of bringing together all the elements of the production. Wonderful voices, great music - this experience reminded me of the creative energy and spontaneity that drew me to move to Atlanta in the 80s. Good show! Definitely worth checking out!

    Built in the 1960s. Has some classic architecture inside. A cozy setting to watch any play.

My poor sewing machine had been sleeping all these years after one use but it has definitely been over worked these days, in a good way. So far, I've taken Sewing 101 and within 2 weekends I've learned to make so many items, such as table napkins, tool bag, pillow case, and reversible tote. My favorite has been the tote bag that I've gone fabric frenzy; thank goodness Joann was having a sale. By no means my sewing skills is perfect after one class and I've been best friends with the seam ripper, but it's been non stop fun making these one of a kind items picked and made by me that are actually functional. Not only are the classes fun, you really learn all the facts and know hows that'll go a long way if you really want continue mastering your skills. Signed up for 102 class already and exited to see how these classes can help me in a long way.

She further helped me by giving me pamphlets and websites to read to help me once I returned back home. I would give her 10 stars if the system allowed, for I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I drove 2 hours to attend this one-on-one training and it was worth every mile. I can't wait until our next class! Also I must mentioned, ALL staff members that I came in contact with were very friendly; great environment!

When I expressed I was having a hard time to the higher ups, they suggested I worked harder. The other students were allowed to bully me incessantly, which was brought to the attention of the staff, they did nothing. There's no help for students with learning differences. While trying to get clarification, I had multiple teachers yell at me and refuse to explain things differently; they felt repeating the same instruction louder was sufficient. This school is hard enough without a brain that sees the world differently. Also, there is no elevator and no accessibility for anyone who is disabled. Those of us who are disabled and have divergent thinking, deserve equal education, too. Especially when it's $5000+ a quarter.

My 3 years here were the best years of my entire educational career - including college and grad school! This place really is the most amazing school ever. I remember my first day just like it was yesterday. I was accompanied by one of my best friends, who was also making the big switch to a more civilized school. We sat in front of the bathrooms for like 10 minutes trying to figure out which one was for boys and which was for girls. Turned out you just use whichever one is open! In addition to just being an awesome environment, where you are accepted for being whoever you are, Paideia has a great curriculum. The year is divided into short and long terms. In the long terms, you take the standard stuff - physics, math, languages, etc. The short term is for classes that are a little more outside the box - Sociology of American Rock & Roll anyone? The teachers here are absolutely outstanding! You can totally tell that they love the school and truly believe in it's mission. And Paul, the headmaster, is just an all around great guy. Graduation was awesome. My graduating class was 57 people and Paul made a short speech about every single one of us! I am so thankful that I was able to go to Paideia on a scholarship. I regularly give them money so that others can do so as well. I am also backing them in their efforts to take over the whole block! Go Paideia!
