More than 2 dozen kids played without paying without said wrist band and not once were they made to pay or stop playing. and of course they do not offer refunds for anything that you purchased so take it for me and save your money.

I was once excited to support this theatre and participate in its productions, but over time my…read moreconfidence in the organization has steadily declined. The most recent example involved a social media post following the announcement of Tim Curry's passing. The theatre published a post that many community members perceived as distasteful and opportunistic, using the news of his death to promote its Spring 2027 production of Clue. Whether that was the intent or not, numerous patrons expressed genuine concerns about the timing and tone. Rather than consistently handling those concerns with professionalism, the theatre's official social media account became increasingly defensive. The individual managing the account identified herself as the theatre's Marketing and Development Manager, Ray Lowe, and responded to members of the public with comments such as, "Please stop your bias," "I'm so over it," "I'm sorry I am smart and know how to make a brand sound professional," and "Please freaking stop." Those are not the kinds of responses I expect from someone entrusted with representing a community arts organization whose role is to build relationships with patrons, donors, volunteers, and the public. What concerns me even more is that the entire public exchange, including the theatre's own responses, was later removed. Rather than leaving the conversation visible and addressing the criticism transparently, the result was that the public could no longer see the interaction that prompted the concerns or evaluate the organization's response, and the conduct of its Marketing and Development Manager while representing the theatre, for themselves. Unfortunately, this incident did not feel like an isolated mistake. Based on my own experiences with the organization over the years, I have watched the theatre's culture, professionalism, and public image steadily decline. Marketing has become inconsistent, the quality and reputation of productions appear to have diminished, and concerns raised by patrons or volunteers seem increasingly to be met with defensiveness or dismissal rather than thoughtful engagement. These are not the qualities that inspire confidence in a community organization that depends on the trust and support of its volunteers, audiences, donors, and local artists. Community theatre thrives on collaboration, transparency, accountability, and respectful engagement. I sincerely hope the Board of Directors takes a careful look at the organization's leadership, current staff members, communication practices, and overall culture. This theatre has the potential to be an incredible asset to the community, but meaningful accountability and a renewed commitment to professionalism are needed if it hopes to regain the confidence of those who have chosen to step away.

Overall, it was really cool to learn more not only about the soda, but the city of Waco, and the overall history of soda too! I like how the areas of the museum were split up and there was a lot to see and learn. I thought it was going to be a little less historical, more fun, with all kinds of products to try. At the end of the tour you can get a hand crafted soda from one of the soda jerks and I don't know if it was the Texas heat, the fact that it was so freshly made, or that I just hadn't had a full sugar soda in a while but oh my goodness!!!!! I still think about how sweet and refreshing the root beer and Dr Pepper we had were. When in Waco, get a Dr Pepper.

No alcohol whatsoever, so everyone gets their tailgate drinks in before entering. Overall, definitely a top-tier stadium-- and #GoCoogs!

My family enjoyed exploring all of the exhibits, starting with the fun showcase of college fight songs that got everyone in the spirit. We wrapped up our visit at the Southwest Conference (SWC) display, which has something for fans of every university. The sports simulators were a big hit with our whole family -- especially trying to throw amazing pitches in the baseball game and shooting baskets into the space station-themed basketball hoop. It was the perfect blend of history, hands-on fun, and Texas sports pride. Highly recommend for families, sports fans, and anyone looking for something unique to do in Waco!

I grew up in the suburbs of Waco Texas. My child, this past summer while visiting her grandparents,…read morehad the privileged opportunity of taking dance with and in the studio of my old friend, and former dance company partner, Gina Nix, owner and dance teacher of All That Jazz Dance Academy. What I am surprised about, is how much time has gone by: 20 years her studio has been up and running, and they are still going strong! (Omg, I feel old). I knew in my heart and gut, if anyone in our company was going to grow up to own and operate her own successful dance studio, that person would be Gina Nix. I can't believe my four-year-old learned so much within a month's time! Truthfully, because of Gina, I'm not surprised at all. "Miss Gina" is not a shrewd disciplinarian, though she definitely knows how to command her space with movement (that thing she teaches) with great skill, patience, talent, and in her own meticulous fashion. Her students learn what their parents pay them to learn- HOW TO DANCE CORRECTLY. And from what I've seen, they manage to have a great time to boot. My little girl (now in kindergarten and back in CA ) will still, at random, practice shuffle-hop step's, arabesques and pique turns in public, at home, at the grocery store etc., and loudly verbalize the dance terminology as she goes. What a blessing she was in such good hands at All That Jazz! It will always be my hope that the students and staff at All That Jazz maintain to receive the kudos they deserve; both in their hometown, and in all the cities in which they successfully go to compete several times every year. I will always be rooting for them and my heart, and yelling, "Break a Leg!" And for the studio's namesake, "Its Showtime, Folks!"
