The show here was kind a like a play if you ask me complete with 4 actors and 4 actresses and even a piano player. It lasted for about an hour and a half. It was funny with some skits that even made you laugh. They probably had 4 or 5 skits and each was ended simply by someone running around the stage. Then, they would act out a different scene. I guess this is the improv way. They have a web site where you can check their schedule for upcoming events. Yeah, I would go back again, you bet.

Visiting the Bessie Smith Cultural Center was a spectacular experience! As a native Chattanoogan, I…read morehad never had the pleasure of attending before, but my visit today blowed me away! This museum and performance hall features a beautiful array of Chattanooga Black history as well as showcasing the wealth of Black musical talent that has hailed from this wonderful city, including Bessie Smith herself! Each exhibit features tangible artifacts alongside highly informative digital displays with written information, as well as short documentaries playing in select areas. Mr. Elijah was our tour guide and he held a wealth of knowledge about the origination of the area, beginning with the Indigenous peoples that lived in the area, progressing through time. The galleries he led us through featured Chattanooga's greatest African-American movers and shakers, prominent entrepreneurs, important local historical events, and much more! I highly recommend anyone who loves Black history and loves Chattanooga to pay a visit to this powerful and inspiring establishment of historical and cultural celebration!

Overall this was a poor experience. From our arrival in the parking lot, the parking staff was…read moreextremely rude. When we pulled up to the lady taking money for the parking lot she said, "what are you here for?" We excitedly told her we were here to see the show. Her response, "$5." Once we got to the door with our tickets. The lady at the door stared at us. No greeting. She could have responded "Hey. Welcome in." or "Do you have tickets for tonight's show?" or "Can I get your last name for your ticket reservation?" She wanted us to say something first and just stared. Finally she said "your last name." We told her. Her response, "Ok." The show was mediocre and dry. Quite frankly, we considered leaving early. The main thing that was odd was how rude their entire front of house staff was.

Went with a party of 7 for my sister's birthday. We all had a wonderful time with lots of laughs…read more The actors/actress were great and put on a fun performance. The food was OK. Green bean and mashed potatoes were good...I wouldn't have ordered them on my own though. Chicken was dry and the cheese cake could have used something extra like strawberries or chocolate drizzle. The service was ok. They were very good about keeping our drinks full, but they gave no opportunity to ask for anything extra or different with the food. In summary, this is a place to go for entertainment and fun, not a place to go for amazing food. I'd go again just for the show, but wish they had more food options.

I love that they love performing. They also seem to be very supportive of each other, which, somehow, makes you laugh even more.

This would make a great date night or even an evening of fun and relaxation by yourself. Don't forget to tip!

One session was about improv and Steven was the "teacher." Y'all, improv is hard and not for the faint of heart. I like to think I'm a witty person, but I got stage fright/deer-in-the-headlights look when asked to do some basic stuff. LOL. I've then got to see a couple of showcases and these people are funny! You gotta get to one of their shows and see how it's done. If you're really curious, you can take a class and become one of these funny people. This is an underrated group of people in this town and more people need to know about this group.

The…read moreguest artist, pianist Mr. Cahill Smith, was excellent, and the tribute to Mr. Fletcher Bright was very moving to me (although I did not know him). I am a great fan of Prokofiev and was excited about hearing the Lieutenant Kijé Suite "live". The soloists were outstanding throughout this work! However, I was disappointed that Ms. Dan set the 'tempi' a bit slower than what I had previously heard on recordings. Also the ad stated that various "movie-scores" would be performed, including 'Citizen Kane' and 'The Corpse Bride'. Neither was listed in the program that evening, but I hoped that at least one of these pieces would be presented as an encore. When there was no encore, I was disappointed--a second time--due to false advertising. This is my firsthand consumer experience. Thank you.

THE BOMB DIGGITY!!!, CHATTANOOGA, YOU LUCKY DOG!…read more These boys are crazy good! They actually made me cry because good music just moves my soul. My husband and I agree that this is one of the best Christmas performances we have ever attended. If they are giving a spring concert, we will be there! Whatever Chattanooga has to do to keep this group performing they need to make it happen by supporting with their dollars and attendance. I was just so blown away by how poised and professional these young boys were throughout the performance. There were absolutely no shenanigans as they were totally focused on their teachers and instructors. I am a full grown woman and I don't have that kind of focus. They must have been tranquilized! I would guess that the boys were as young as seven and as old as 20, as it was a very varied group. I applaud and tip my hat to absolutely everyone who had a hand in staging this performance it was beautiful! It held my attention the entire time and I loved the variety of music from classics to modern day. Everything was on point from the set to the costumes. It was incredible and you all should take a collective bow. Thank you!
