It's an incredibly welcoming space--very accessible, with nice, big seats without arms. If you need additional arrangements, the box office is very responsive and happy to assist. The team that works there is very friendly, the bathrooms are clean, the bar is well stocked, and shows are great. Definitely worth a visit--maybe even renting out for a private event!

Wonderful acting, great acting classes. The owner really knows what she's doing. Will visit again.read more

I had the pleasure to watch Mortal Combat at this theatre. It was my first time there and I just…read morelove how beautiful it was inside. I think my photos got deleted somehow but I managed to find a video I had. After the show i wondered up stairs and thought I grab some really good pictures which I seem to have never saved . But it was nice love the architecture details. One thing I would add is that the bathroom (at least the one upstairs) is not as pretty. I forgot to check out the downstairs one but I think I was expecting something grand or as equally nice as the theatre itself. Staff was friendly, I love that they have a box office to purchase tickets from a person before coming in if you don't already have one, instead of sending you to a screen. The whole experience was nice. I will be back for another showing soon!

Apparently, you can sign up for a free art project every month and they have all the supplies for various projects. We have painted wooden snowflakes, made owls out of foam, painted canvas magnets, among other projects. I LOVE how inclusive it is, there are easier projects for young hands just learning how to explore art, and harder projects for the more seasoned professional. The people are always so friendly, and I love having this free, local, enriching activity to share with my family and friends. You can take your kiddo, go with your best friend, bring a date. It is a really nice experience that I am grateful that they provide. I HIGHLY recommend hopping on the website and signing up for this free activity.

There really wasn't a bad seat in the house. All the seats were elevated and it had good sound. We were no more than 5 rows from the front. We took our kids and my daughter's friend to go see the Addams Family Musical. We just happened to be dressed as the Addams Family for Halloween... so this was definitely a treat. We've got to say our costumes would give the actors and actresses a run for their money. At any rate, we really enjoyed it and will definitely be back for another show!

This theatre operates out of a multipurpose building that offers gorgeous venue space with impeccable sound and is also a church as well. Concession stand is cute and has that hometown feel, the lobby and restrooms are eat off the floor clean, modern and the staff is warm and welcoming. You won't find this at the big box movie houses! The theater seating is gradient style, bucket seats that rock and are super cushiony and comfy. No seat selection here. We got here 30 minutes early but we were first ones along with like 3 others. No one knows about this place! Tickets are super affordable!! P.S. sounds is BRONX NY LOUD LOL bring earplugs if your sensitive but it's awesome!

Some of the most creative things can be found at Gallery 5. It's a spot I'd recommend every local check out at least once. My favorite feature is when the weather is just right, they open up the space to get fresh air in. It makes for a beautiful farm house look. The drinks are priced just right here and the bartenders are wonderful. You are able to purchase tickets for shows ahead of time or in person. If you purchase them ahead of time, they'll usually have your name on a list at the front. Gallery 5 is a very hip and chill spot. It's great for big events or relaxed evenings. You can see their full lineup of events on their website's calendar. There is free street parking nearby and a lot of other great local businesses to check out not too far away. I highly recommend checking out Gallery 5.

NEEDS TRIPLE THE ACTORS! EACH ACTOR NEEDS A MIC! LOUDER SOUNDS EVERYWHERE NEEDED. GREAT MUSIC…read moreNEEDED! LOUD SCARY SOUNDS NEED TO BE EVERYWHERE. They need a sound specialist. From the apple cider and greeting haunts to the small groups exploring the incredibly detailed and wonderfully designed mazes and haunted houses, there's a lot to love here. The animatronics were fantastic, and several of the scares genuinely caught me off guard. Don't let the statues fool you! The smoke effects, twirling room, acting, and storylines created some really impressive moments. The gift shop is adorable, too, and you can tell a tremendous amount of thought, creativity, and hard work went into this experience. I want to be fair: this was early in the season, and it was a cold, rainy night, so I understand staffing may have been affected. But if this haunt is going to reach its full potential, I think two things need serious, permanent investment: more actors and much stronger microphone amplification (for actors and for ALL SOUNDS--everything has to be much louder--much much louder and scarier). More actors--ideally TRIPLE the number currently throughout the attractions. The performers who were there were working hard and staying in character. This isn't a criticism of them. There simply weren't enough performers to fully utilize these incredible environments. The sets are there. The animatronics are there. The effects are there. Fill those spaces with actors. And most importantly: PLEASE turn up the actors' microphones. I especially want to hear what the actors are saying. If you've created characters, dialogue, storylines, and elaborate scenes, guests need to be able to hear them. Their voices are too swallowed by overall noise of the haunt (which actually could be wayyyy louder). The microphones need to be much, much louder and powerful enough for the actors' voices and dialogue to cut through everything else. Let them yell at guests. Let them deliver their lines. Let them interact with people from across the room. Let us hear the characters you've created. This isn't simply about making the haunt louder. It's about making the actors--and their dialogue--audible. I would strongly encourage making proper actor amplification a PERMANENT part of the production rather than something that depends on the conditions of a particular night. Invest in this for sure. It's worth it and will be terrifying. I'd also recommend replacing the repetitive entrance music with a more dynamic horror soundtrack--different creepy songs, atmospheric sounds, and dramatic effects that build anticipation before guests even enter. There is a tremendous amount of potential here. The production design is impressive, the animatronics are great, and the performers who were there were giving it their all. Four stars from me. I'd absolutely come back later in the season. If you permanently increase the number of performers and, above all, make sure we can actually hear what those performers are saying, make ALL SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSIC 10x louder I think you'll take an already impressive haunt to another level.
