GREAT SUMMER CONCERT VENUE!…read more Have been here a few times to see concerts (Big Time Rush, Kesha) and have had really great experiencing. Parking is good and kept further away from the venue than other concert spaces - that help with getting out faster at the end. Unless you really want to see the artist up-close, I'd definitely opt for the lawn tickets. You still have a great view of the stage and the vibes are much more casual for eating/drinking/dancing. One major issue - drink prices are INSANE. Definitely be prepared to spend in that sense... that's the trade off for cheaper tickets than other concert venues I guess. Overall, definitely my favorite concert venue near ATL (that I've been to so far).

Been here for a concert a couple of years ago and my son's 2026 high school graduation. The…read moreconcert was fun. My experience at the graduation left a bad taste in my mouth. The most disappointing issues for me were parking and an encounter with a specific usher/staff member inside the venue. Traffic trying to enter Parking Lot A was backed up and slow moving. Prior to entering the lot, there was only one police officer directing traffic, and he was right near the entrance. Given how long the line of cars was and the number of visitors who were unfamiliar with the area, having some additional traffic guidance would have been nice. The rude staff member was an older woman named Linda who was stationed in the ADA seating area near section 101. She took her assignment a bit too seriously for what was supposed to be a celebratory event.

We came in for a children's show on Saturday afternoon. We've been tracking for a couple weeks…read moretrying to decide which weekend to make the drive out for a show; it's about an hour from our home. The Saturday showtimes seem to be 10am and 1:30pm. We were aiming for a puppet show last weekend but landed on a science show this weekend and I'm so glad we did! We got to see "Noreen the Science Queen" and engage in a live show with her. Not only was she amazing, but it was so wonderful to expose our girls to a woman in STEM and, more special for them, a Black woman in STEM. After the show, Noreen the Science Queen greeted the attendees in the lobby. She was open for pictures, and was selling both science kits for at home experiments and copies of her book. She is also available for birthday parties!! Now about the Cultural Arts Center, they currently have two exhibits: (1) there is an art show in the lobby in honor of Juneteenth and visitors get to vote on their favorite three (2) there is an exhibit of toys and games from the 1800s on the second floor. We didn't go up to check it out.

I'm originally from California, but I've lived in the Roswell area for a number of years. I had…read morealways wanted to visit the Roswell cultural arts center but I never had until this time. I attended a musical performance of the group Abilene on a Saturday night. I truly enjoyed everything about the experience. First, the theater is relatively small, and most seats are not too far from the stage. I had lucked out and was able to purchase a seat in the front row, which is 10 to 15 feet away from the stage. The performance by Abilene was simply spectacular. They describe themselves as a neo classical ensemble. I love the way they took some classical pieces by composers, such as Bach in Vivaldi, deconstructed them, reconstructed them, and made them their own. The peace, entitled Cascades was probably my favorite. It was inspired by the mountain range in the Pacific Northwest. The passionate playing near the end by both the cellist and the violinist was extraordinary. I also love the way they created a peaceful environment during their performance. They had a fog machine or smoke machine, as well as different colored lights used with each song. I also appreciated having David Crowe, the cultural arts coordinator, introduce the group, as well as tell us a little bit about the upcoming performances. While the tickets for next season don't go on sale until May, I'm ready to purchase tickets for more shows in 2023 and into 2024. Cheers

Wifey and I went to the Dancing Goat to see one of her friends perform in "Almost, Maine"...a play…read morethat consisted of about a dozen vignettes on all aspects of "love." The play was quite well done and we enjoyed it immensely. Obviously, some of the vignettes were preferred over others, but all were done in the great spirit of Community Theater...and made for a very enjoyable Saturday evening "date night." The Theatre itself is a small, community one...and perfect for this type of play where the focus is definitely on the actors themselves and the interactions...bigger, broader ones may not fit in this relatively small place. I highly recommend...we will go back...wifey got the brochure of upcoming events...looking forward to a couple of them.

The Stallings foster and exude excellence in their teachings in acting and in life. The wisdom the AWP teachers impart to all their students is unparalleled. The kindness and joy that AWP shares with their students is infectious, creating a community of supportive and inclusive, wildly talented actors who love what they do whilst growing exponentially in the field of acting and in life. AWP gives every actor the opportunity to express themselves in every aspect of the performing arts. AWP celebrates every student and especially what makes them unique. MAJOR UNEXPECTED BONUS....this exuberant experience is also enjoyed by the families of the students which is unique to AWP! This acting school embraces the student's entire family, guiding them along the way, educating them, so parents and siblings can best support the students and help them achieve their goals, all whilst having the time of their lives. AWP creates an engaging, non-competitive environment, where students can lean on one another, celebrate one another's achievements and build life-long friendships. Within AWPs 45-year history, this non-profit acting school has alumni and current students located all over the nation and internationally. These exceptional artists are successful working actors and more importantly, marvelously kind human beings. AWP is much more than a place to take acting classes. It's a community for the entire family. AWPs distinguished acting coaches share a wealth of experience and wisdom with their students, celebrating their growth and challenging them to strive even higher in a supportive and motivating environment. AWPs classes create opportunities to showcase for agents, casting directors and managers. AWP also creates original live ticketed shows from Improv to Cabarets to Musicals to Summer Camps and more, giving the students year-round opportunities to perform for the community in the AWP Black Box Theatre. If that wasn't enough....AWP also takes their students and families on Week-Long Intensive Workshop Trips as a sensational way to level-up, see the world, grow closer to and meet more of the AWP community of actors and families. AWP travels to Los Angeles, New York and the Caribbean to learn from industry professionals, tour studios, be part of live studio-audiences, see the world, build life-long friendships, and grow as an actor and a person. We are so grateful to the Stallings for creating the Atlanta Workshop Players and for all they give to the world. They absolutely live by "leave every place and person, better than you found them".

AWP has allowed him opportunities to meet with industry professionals, especially on trips like this. They also provide workshops to learn more about the acting world to help him be successful.

The directors of the studio- Lynn and Don- have created such a positive, encouraging, and uplifting space. One where everyone feels safe, comfortable, and welcome. It's truly a beautiful thing! I cannot say enough good things about AWP! It's the perfect place to learn acting! You won't regret checking them out!

Yes this has the lazy boy fully reclining seats, yes they have a full bar of libations if you desire, for the kids they have shakes or icees as well. There is a full menu of options like ballpark chicken nachos, bbq brisket and jalapeño tots, pepperoni honey hot pizza, cheese sticks, wraps, full on pasta dishes with shrimp.., seriously this place has you strapping on the feed bag! Now look this is not a Michelin star location but the food is pretty good. Service is very good... press a button and a few seconds later, ok maybe minutes, you server is there. Yes they also have the norms... popcorn, candy (but the selection is limited), soda and such, Be prepared though... the cost is not cheap! A family of 4 with the cost of tickets and all the food... is going to run you 150 to 200 depending on what you drink. It is a full experience though... and honestly we like it!

Off Broadway is a small facility in a strip mall but my kids have really enjoyed their time there…read more They have taken dance, improv comedy, and musical theater classes and have participated in numerous productions in the black box theater. The musicals are surprisingly good!! Very entertaining, clever costumes, and some of the kids are amazing! BUT... What I like the most is that the moms and faculty are VERY welcoming. It's fun for parents to get involved with costumes and makeup for the shows. I never feel out of place and I have yet to meet a parent (or child) at Off Broadway who is not kind. We have tried other area dance and acting studios and the competition is fierce. You can see the kids size each other up! I don't want dance moms drama! We will stick with Off Broadway because it's PERFECT for toddlers through young teens. My kids and I have made some great friends there.
