    The Downtown Theatre was 100% NOT on my radar until Goldstar offered up a great deal for tickets to Nunsense - a fun and affordable Friday night entertainment option for the BF and I. It turned out to be a great little theater! The theater is located on Texas Street in the downtown area, which unfortunately even on a Friday night was a bit like a ghost down. Despite a couple cool shops (that weren't open) and a few dining options, we rarely passed another person (aside from a few ragamuffin types I don't really think were in town for a night at the theatah). But the theater itself is quite lovely - simple on the outside but very modern and elegant within. There is a private free parking lot right behind the building, so ZERO trouble on that front which is always nice. In the lobby is a small art display for perusal, plus a long hallway of the colorful posters of shows they've put on in the past. They perform a great variety of classics AND more contemporary shows - everything from The Music Man to The Rocky Horror Show! Refreshments were for sale before the show, including a few libations all for VERY reasonable prices. A bottle of water was $1.00, a glass of wine was marked as $5.00 suggested donation. The lobby staff was VERY friendly - I assume it's a group of volunteers, as it was a wide variety of ages. The Nunsense show was great fun! Sometimes small local theaters don't necessarily have the best talent, but this pack of 5 ladies playing the sisters were spectacular! Killer singing voices, spot-on comedic timing - everything you need from a Broadway star. My face ached by the end of the show from smiles and laughter, we had a lot of fun. My favorite joke heard during the Nunsense show - why didn't Noah go fishing? Because he only had 2 worms! Give this little local theater a chance, especially if you can score tickets on Goldstar - well worth the money, and a great venue for showcasing local talent with shows you might know all the words to or are being treated to for the first time.

    So great!!

    I maybe came here as a kid for some things but it had been years until I decided to buy tickets to see The Little Mermaid and wow! I was blown away! It was an amazing show with amazing talent! No complaints about the theater itself, great little spot. And they serve local beer and wine along with other little snacks. We had such a good time we came back for Rocky Horror Show and holy crap! If you haven't seen this show live, go! It's ridiculously entertaining, hilarious and so great! Five stars for the show and audience here! Make sure to dress up and join the fun! I highly recommend this place and would definitely see another show here given the opportunity! Check Groupon for ticket sales. Not really a bad seat in the place.

    I thoroughly enjoy performing in this theatre. The sound is amazing and the accommodations are suitable for performers. As a patron, my favorite seats are up in the balcony, center seats. The sound just envelopes you in a big musical hug. I recommend attending the yearly gala. The most recent gala just passed and I already look forward to next year's. During this event, different restaurants and bakeries set out samples from their menus. There was also wine and beer sampling. We then treated the patrons to samples of own by offering glimpses into our upcoming performances. Just a tip- you can purchase your tickets ahead of time and reserve your preferred seating by going to their website. Have fun!

    I can appreciate that my local neighborhood has a dance studio so close to my home in Cordelia! We…read morehave been coming here for 2 years. Through that time the staff has been amazing. Madi has worked with multiple instructors and we appreciate each and every one of them. They each have unique way of working with the dancers and they are passionate about what they do. They are all incredibly talented including The competition teams. They offer summer and spring camps. They also offer weeks to tryout multiple styles of dance and get an opportunity to see what your kid likes! We have done Hip Hop and are currently in Acro Techniques and Musical Theatre. This studio has personally built confidence, strength, balance, character, speed and even social skills and etiquette in my daughter .

Took me an hour round trip. I showed up at 945 with class 10-1045. No one every showed up. Multiple families waiting outside. Then an obviously enrolled family came up saying I just got a text today has been cancelled. No emails text or phone call notifying us. No professionalism. Very inconsiderate of people's time. I was beyond frustrated & usually I'm very flexible when things happen. I emailed them letting them know what happened & still no reply. Unbelievable.

    Jaqui is an amazing instructor!! Such a wonderful inspiration to young kids! My 7 yr old daughter…read moretakes classes and enjoys them tremendously!! ALSO- Awesome.. best place for women to take pole dance classes... Excellent workout in a great positive enviroment!! Very reasonably priced!! Every lady should check the classes out.. I think most of you will be pleasantly surprised it is not what you would expect it to be like!

    After my 3 year old daughter expressed interest in ballet, I instantly searched through…read moreyellowpages.com to see what dance studios were in my area that would accommodate my novice ballerina. Just gotta dance popped up first in my search so naturally I called and inquired about coming in to shadow a class. The lady on the phone seemed charming and offered a FREE first time class for all new students. Free? Couldn't turn that down. The location was in an abandoned looking shopping mall in Suisun. Parking was limited and the neighborhood was a little sketchy. The dance studio itself was dark and run down. Nothing impressive but again, I kept a sense of hope in the back of my mind for the sake of my little one. I didn't want her to sense my apprehension. Come class time the dance instructor was not what you imagine a ballet instructor would look like. I'm not going to further comment on her size but all I have to say is that I expected more. The class size was small and manageable. It seemed like all of the other students had been there for awhile and had made friends with all of the other little girls. So why just 1 star? Well first off the class itself was not well structured. The little girls all ranged from 3-6 years old but the instructor was speaking to them like 18 year olds that just signed their life away to the US Marine Corp. My daughter participated in a few of the activities but I could tell she was nervous. I had to sit with her on the mat a few times while doing some exercises which I thought would help her feel more comfortable. At the end of the class session the instructor rewarded all of the ballerinas with stickers. When it came to my daughter she said, "Now I'll give you a sticker just this one time but next time you are going to need to do all of the activities by yourself without anyones help. If you do require help then I wont give you a sticker" WTF?.. shes a kid for christ sake. I want her to feel comfortable asking for help! I'm sure my daughter didn't understand and was just thrilled to have a sticker. I on the other hand was livid and stormed out. I didn't need her damn stickers to validate my daughter's hard work. After class was over I took my daughter to Target and let her pick out a whole book of stickers. Hmph... that'll show that BIG mean drill sergeant instructor :P
