Last minute idea for a Sunday Funday option. This little school house is in downtown Cumming and is…read morecertainly a blast from the past. It's a 1920s school turned into a theater, with a majority of the original school intact. I was able to get some last minute tickets for the show, The Producers, literally 2 hours before the play. Cost was not bad at all, $25/person. They offer a VIP experience too, for another $25/person, that comes with heavy hors d'ouevres and non-alcoholic drinks (not offered on Sundays). Parking was not bad. We got there early and ordered drinks from the bar (fairly full bar of offerings). Costs on alcohol were not bad either. It was fun touring the school house and seeing all the old pictures of class photos taken there, and all the frames photos of previous plays put on. Even the school rooms had the window above the doorway. There is also a restaurant in back with some great mural art/paintings on the wall. The theater was fairly large and presented well, with cushy seats and convenient drink holders. My expectations were low and I was very much surprised by the skill level of the cast and how well the show was run. I've never been to Broadway but I've been to the Fox, and this show would equal some of the stuff I've seen there or at other theaters. Very talented cast! The show was also incredible. Overall, this was a wonderful visit. If you live in the area, you'd be crazy not to check out a show here!

It was so well performed and the ending made me tear up. I must mention the set because it was incredible.

So, whenever we take a trip somewhere and if time allows I try to find the local theater and catch a play, sometimes two. And, so since our last trip to Blue Ridge did not allow for a show; I decided that this time we would catch one despite our schedule. I went online (BlueRidgeMountains.com), started doing some research and found the Blue Ridge Community Theater. After clicking here clicking there I learned that their next show would be taking place the same time our trip...YAY! The theater is located literally across the street from the Swan Drive-In (which by the way is on our itinerary for our next visit--so keep an eye out for that review) the parking lot is small and was full (much to my surprise) the Saturday we visited. You may have to make our own parking space in the lot, or park on the street, but don't worry about parking on the street it's not like parking in LA, your call will be safe. When you enter the box office is located directly in-front of the main double doors. To the right end of the hall is the snack bar where you can get candy and drinks and to the left you will find the restrooms. I believe staff mentioned that the theater sits 100+/- people, so it's a good size and seating is standard stadium seats and set up. We had tickets in the front row and I had some concerns about the height of the stage. I didn't want to be looking up at the stage and even further up at the actors, but don't worry, the stage is at the same level as the first row so neck kinks will not be an issue. They company did a great job with the set and the overall performance was fantastic. They play we saw "Whose Wives are they Anyway" was hilarious! The actor's comedic timing was on point and my husband and I along with the rest of the audience laughed to no end. Ok, now being from LA the movie capital of the world where everyone is an aspiring actor and aims for physical perfection, I was glad to see actors who A) can act and B) look like normal people. I get tired of the perfect looking man and woman...I don't know about your but I can't relate to them and I like being able to connect with the actors in some sense. So, not only did the Blue Ridge actors know their craft but they are individuals who you can connect with. They are real people unpretentious, polite and eager to meet the audience. They are grateful to be doing what they love and they don't have the LA entitlement complex. We definitely plan on becoming regulars at the theater and look forward to our next show. If you, like my husband and I, like small production plays then I give Blue Ridge Community Theater a try. Oh, and tickets are available on-line and they take credit cards.

Unfortunately we can not recommend this school due to the living quarters. There have been multiple…read moreproblems with mold. First on the walls and floors of both bathrooms in the dorm, then an air conditioning leak that was neglected which revealed more mold! Now my daughters room is infested with bed bugs. Not only can we not receive a call back from Dr. Mallard but this is the third time my daughter has had to move out all her belongings in one semester. When you are being charged $10,000 a year for room and board it should at least be safe and not make the entire dorm sick!

I am thoroughly disappointed in their leadership and guidance team. My daughter attended this…read moreschool as a Freshman 2015 and she immediately fell into the wrong crowd. We noticed this immediately as she found a group that had drugs inside of the dorms on a regular basis. I reported this immediately to Dr. Lee and he acted as if he cared but nothing(literally nothing) was done to intervene. My daughter missed classes and according to their rules, a student is reported to the dean after missing 3 or more classes. My daughter was never reported. I also brought this up to Dr. Lee. Again, nothing happened. This school has a very nice campus and I think it is in a decent area but if you are looking for a support system for your child, this is not the place. They act as if they care about your child during orientation and that there will be numerous resources available but this is all smoke and mirrors. I am not blaming my daughters choices on the school but as parents, we intervened and expected some type of help as my child was on their campus. No help whatsoever. Do your research before you pay $25,000 to this school.

At the Atlanta Lyric Theatre, we were presented a…read morebroadway caliber production on a modern stage with modern equipment and greeted by friendly faces. We drove nearly four hours to attend this production, as I've always wanted to see Next to Normal on stage. I had never heard of the Lyric, so I checked their promo materials on instagram prior to investing in the drive and cost. It was worth it. The production was outstanding, beautifully staged, and there was so so so much talent. The lighting and scenic design were modern, sleek, and minimalist. The show should have been sold out because so much talent was involved. They had concessions and friendly front of house staff. Our only complaint was that we were on the front row, and the monitor speakers were places along the apron of the stage, which blocked action center stage terribly. If you have the opportunity to see a production here, do it. You won't regret.
