Was here to see a performance of "It's a Wonderful Life" last Saturday night…read more Cute little theater tucked away in the middle of nowhere. I mean NOWHERE! Without GPS I'm certain I wouldn't have made it out of that wooded area alive. It's off a highway or main road but once you turn off, it's like you've completely left all civilization. Just tons of creepy trees and dark, poorly maintained roads. The one to the theater leads right into a body of water so drive slowly! Other than difficulty finding it, the show itself was what you would expect for $20 theater tickets. Low budget sound effects and costumes but still overall a good, entertaining show filled with Christmas spirit. The theater was a bit cold but during intermission they were selling tea, coffee and hot chocolate for $2 along with candy and soda. They were also selling photo albums for $1 to help raise money for a new roof. If you're in the area, I'd recommend catching a show and supporting local performing arts.

This is a quirky, unique gem hidden in the northwest NJ, in sleepy, beautiful Blairstown. If you…read moresee an artist that you want to see, by all means go, over that same artist playing in NYC or Philly. Roy's Hall is a converted movie theater, which seats no more than 200. Typically GA, decent sound system. A very relaxed, low key atmosphere. No bar (they do serve coffee, water and some soda) as one can get that pre-show at a couple of restaurants across the street that are decent. Parking is 'on street' and normally not an issue as it's commensurate with the venue size. One can normally park right there on Main St without a thought (there's virtually no traffic). I so love this place as it allows the attendees to get up close and personal with the artist, who typically will 'hang' in the lobby post show to sign CDs, talk music, etc.

Note that the restroom facilities are sparse; only one for each gender and they are small. I will not sit in the balcony there again. I don't know if it was just my row, but every time the person next to me moved (including swaying with the music) the entire row shifted. Perhaps the seats are not properly connected to the floor? The seat itself was at an odd angle, it didn't move all the way down to a flat position. The audio there is good. There was very little 'boominess' like one finds in bigger venues. The band appeared comfortable and relaxed. And that's always a plus for a better performance. Renaissance are always spectacular! I shall miss them dearly.

How have I never heard of this place!? My husband was driving by on his way to the gym when he…read morenoticed a production of Avenue Q advertised on the theatre doors. He remembered me saying I wanted to see it on Broadway (good listening, husband) and looked up the theatre. We bought our tickets and headed to the show last night. It was awesome! I don't know how the theatre managed to attract performers who were absolutely perfect for their roles. If you are a big fan of the original Broadway cast soundtrack, you won't be disappointed--this company is outstanding. When a small mishap occurred, the actors took it and ran with it, adding even more humor to an already funny production. As for the theatre, it is tiny, which means there's not a bad seat in the house. They sell water and coffee for super cheap (I think $1 for water, $2 for coffee?) and there is plenty of parking out back. Tickets are $30 for general admission, plus a $2.50 service fee. There are new productions every month or two, and you don't have to go to Manhattan to get there! Hooray!!!

I had always seen signs for the different productions that they put on here, but never decided to go until now - but we're glad we did! If you're in the same boat and reading this review, just go! The venue was really intimate and every seat in the house is a good one. My son really enjoyed being able to sit up so close to the action. All the actors were from local schools, and they were all excellent. The Simbas, both the young and the older version, were real standouts. Really friendly staff as well. If you have some time to kill before or after the show, there's a great little playground right next door.

They have been cancelling performances by a number of tribute bands and magic shows up to this point. It is a historic (1919) burlesque venue. Today the theater features much of it's vintage look having retained many of it's classic elements, albeit worn. Pre-Covid-19 the theater hosted comedy acts, live concerts and some plays. Additionally they screen international small budget and silent feature productions. Seating available includes: rear mezzanine, front mezzanine and orchestra. The theater hosts a lot of tribute bands for such artists as the Cars, John Mellencamp, and Crosby, Stills and Nash.

Friends of mine know I'm a big Beatles fan and a couple years ago they bought us tickets to see Beatlemania here at Darress Theatre. The show was absolutely great. And we all had a wonderful time...including the kids all getting autographs from the 'Beatles'. This historic little theater used to be a vaudeville theater and has been around since 1919. The place is really cute, but you aren't going to get full-fledged concerts here. What you will get are a lot of small shows, movies (especially old movies-check out a screening of the original King Kong in April 2013), comediens, local talent, and a great place to have fundraisers. I really love this little place and I hope they keep it going for a long time. Yeah, it isn't a real modern theater and it could use some reservations, but it has class and personality...
