The facility's ambience has a modern feel to it, and it is completely wheelchair accessible with easy access to seating and exits.

I look forward to seeing more performances here.

I love theater and supporting local theaters. This particular play was not a good one. We attended…read morenear the end of the run of I Hate Hamlet. We almost left at intermission but decided to stay. It did get a bit better. The story of the play is a little odd, the casting of the main characters and their acting was not convincing. The Dierdre character, female lead, was terrible. Her voice was high and screechy, without modulation or clear emotion other than having a tantrum and over re-acting in all her lines . We all cringed. The Andrew character, male lead, was also poorly cast and quite sour, not enough modulation of emotions to match his script. Perhaps the director did not do their job? The rest of the cast was decent, and it could have been an entertaining and interesting play if the leads were better cast or better directed. High school and other local theaters have performed at higher standards. I attended a previous performance at Cottage Theater years ago, Legally Blonde, and remember enjoying it very much. The theater seating is excellent and the sound is clear. Every theater has a "flop," bad night, poor casting or directing. Chalk this play up to one of those. I kept the program so I could check the director and actors for future performances at Cottage Theater.

We had an opportunity to view a final Dress Rehearsal of a play titled The 39 Steps …read more The theatre itself is a small but very comfortable local affair. Located very easily, there is plenty of parking available. The interior is warm and welcoming with many displays of previous productions as well as a few favorite costumes on display. The facilities are spacious, clean and roomy. There is also a small concessions bar available. The theatre seats are very comfortable and the acoustics really help to promote the sound effects and voices. The stagecraft was very cleverly designed and operated with controlled lighting movements as well as drop down props and curtain controls. We were entertained by The 39 Steps. The actors were very emotive and this play was definitely a lighthearted spoof. Amazing to think what these four actors were able to pull off being many different characters in a fast paced but comical way. I would definitely be interested in attending Cottage Theatre again.

I've had a good view both times despite not paying for expensive seats. The sound is always good and the volunteers do a great job with crowd control. The parking garage egress is always especially smooth - huge props to the folks who direct traffic there! They pause exiting traffic to let you out if you have to back out on the first level, something I personally appreciate as I always get anxious parking in the hardest to exit part of a garage.

This may be a fine venue for performances, but accessibility for the disabled is an afterthought. A…read morevery late afterthought. Is it technically ADA compliant? Probably. Barely. When you arrive from the south (as we did) you are met with a giant staircase to enter. Turns out there is a ramp on the north side. You wouldn't know that though, as there is nary a sign to be seen. Once you go around the building you can get in. There are metal detectors. They're sort of unattended though, or at least the people working them are far on the other side. What's a wheelchair to do? We tried getting someone's attention and eventually they irritatedly told us to just go through. We did. Not sure what kind of metal detectors those are supposed to be when the fully metal wheelchair didn't set them off. Now... our tickets are on the mezzanine. How do we get there? Lots of stairs.... No signs for an elevator. Had to ask around. There is one- way around the corner. It's small, old, and slow. But we got there. No bathrooms on the mezzanine though. Too bad for us. Then, after the show... the elevator.... There's a sign telling able bodied people to take the stairs.... But they don't. They just look at us sheep faced as they come down from the higher balconies packed full so we can't get in. No attendant or anything, no staff member to tell them no, so... us folx with wheelchairs and canes and walkers, we just wait for all the able bodies to get down. (And of course not all disabilities are visible. But their eyes told us their guilt.) We were there to see Tig Notaro. I think she'd be ashamed of some of her fans. And the venue. Do better.

Wow. Went here to see a series of ten minute plays that we bought tickets for a week in advance…read more Did we get to see the play? No. Why? Because they had sold our seats to someone else that came in without prepaid tickets. This is typical Eugene style. What we were offered? A pillow to place between our butts and the stairs. Wouldn't that be a fire hazard?

I've seen two shows here now and both were amazing! I didn't consider myself and "artsy fartsy"…read moretype of person, but I was highly impressed with the talent and caliber of actors and actresses. First was Circle Mirror Transformation and most recently, Avenue Q. Avenue Q was hilarious! It is a sold out show even after adding additional performances. They are working on building their new, larger theatre so the current theatre they are in is very small. However is is a very quaint and intimate venue! I'm glad I got out of the house and shopping malls and experienced some real talent from passionate actors and actresses.

Time for another annual trip to the Junction City Scandinavian Festival! This year the crowds of…read morevisitors all seem in good spirits. Many people wearing various styles of lederhosen, others dressed as vikings, Oompa music fills the air along with the cooking aromas from Elephant Ears, Meat Pies, aebleskivers and brats! Ice cream and various cold drinks are also available. There are the usual array of vendors selling t-shirts, jewelry, handmade crafts, and the food! There is also plenty of entertainment to be had. There is an area for performing dancers doing traditional folk song and dance as well as a Maypole waiting to be decorated. I found a vendor for a company called 'Just Rum' who had a unique and very old recipe for the manufacture of rum. Utilizing these old recipes this company based in Sandy Oregon had come up with several award winning rums with varying alcohol levels. After a very entertaining and informative tasting session, I just had to purchase a bottle of Blackberry Rum! This is some potent stuff and seems to work best as a mixer, although there is one with a very high alcohol content made for sipping. Moving along to the Viking Village section I came across a vendor I had met last year. A leather belt maker. He does the whole process starting with a hide. Tanning the leather, cutting and tooling the designs, staining and preserving, it's just good quality craftsmanship. I purchased a belt from him and it's still in such good shape that I decided the cost was worth it to pick another style from him. He will also be at the Oktoberfest in Mt. Angel. Having secured my purchase of another belt, we escaped the heat for a bit by going into the crafts building where some of the more delicate items are on display. One of the real eye catching items is lampshades made out of wood! These shades are carved so thinly that light actually penetrates the wood casting a fantastic incandescent sepia tone of light. Time for some eats now, so we moved along and found an assortment or caramel apples with nuts, chocolate, M&Ms... you name it. We were also very happy to find some outstanding corn on the cob and some Danish Sausage Dogs with a very authentic European style casing that actually gave a crisp snap as you bite into the sausage. Thank You Junction City for another successful Scandinavian Festival. I just might come back before this four day event ends!
