I finally got the opportunity to visit the Lancaster Opera House when attending the holiday play…read moreMiracle of South Division St with a few friends. First off, the play was really good. Very funny! We entered through the back door, up the back staircase so I actually never saw the main entrance or lobby. The place hold about 350 for plays and we had an excellent view. The sound was very good. Seats were pretty comfortable. So this is called an Opera House but that actually goes back in 1897 when it was built when all music halls and gathering places were called opera houses. Luckily for the town, the place was restored to it's original form in 1981. Great benefit to the community. Now I'll be checking their schedule for their future offerings which I know include at least play and concerts. 2021-196

Canterbury Woods retirement community recently opened a beautiful performing arts center which will…read morebe open to the public for music, plays, etc. We attended a small concert there. It's a sleek model looking building. The theater itself has 250 comfortable seats and wide aisles. The slope is perfect for views from any seat. The sound seemed very good. You currently need to go to the main Canterbury Woods website to find the calendar of events for the Performing Arts Center. But well worth the effort. Can't wait to see what else they'll be offering. 2023-110

Every visit to Shea's is special. As soon as you walk in you feel the magic of the place. This…read morevisit was for the play Suffs, a story based on the Woman's Suffrage Movement. Fantastic play! For this play our seats were on the very top balcony. This means 4 flights of stairs!. Ha ha, you better be in shape for that walk. It was high up but ee actually had a perfect view of the stage. Shea's is celebrating it's 100 birthday and up until this point has had no elevators. They're now in the process of adding an addition which will include elevators. Since it's an addition it won't take away from the original charm of the building. If somehow you live in the Buffalo area and have never been to Shea's you really need to check it out. For everyone else. Just go again. 2026-30

When you think of going to the theatre, this is the place I would picture in my mind. Shea's is…read moreabout to turn 100 years old in 2026 and it's a Buffalo staple through and through. If you had a day in Buffalo, this is one of the places you would want to check out. The shows I have been to here over the years are always well done. The staff are always so helpful and genuinely seem happy to be there. I am not a big theatre person so it's great to have them there to make sure I am in the right place and not committing any theatre mistakes. The concessions here are pretty decently priced. There is a good variety of drinks and snack options. As someone who generally goes to the movies more than the theatre, I was pleasantly surprised with the options. This space is beautiful. It makes you feel like you've stepped back in time but in the best way. The architecture alone is a reason to come check out this spot, but stay for a show and enjoy!

Great experience! Found the show in a Google search after we decided we were done with the falls…read more We chose it because of the reviews and they were accurate. We had a great time! When we started to think we knew what was happening, he had a unique twist that surprised us. They incorporate animals into the show and we loved that. Overall, 3 adults and 2 teens were captivated. We didn't eat there but feedback from the table was that the food was "meh". We did get some mocktails and were surprised by affordable pricing. We wished there were some desserts to order. Note: If you have a WEGO pass, it's off the blue line by the Howard Johnson's stop. Parking was still advertised as "free" if you had tickets to the show so we parked there earlier in the day. **It is not**. We were told by the attendant that it is $5 cash/$6 card with tickets (still reasonable for the area). Free ended 2 months ago and to take it up inside. I did and they confirmed it ended. I sent an email with the info from their site that says it's free still and they said they would take that down and did offer a refund if I called.

We came in for a Saturday night magic show. We thought it was amazing, but left at intermission…read morebecause we were both incredibly exhausted. From what we saw the show was great, the illusions were incredible and unlike cases where the tricks are obvious, there were some amazing illusions that had us questioning how that was possible. Two magicians performed and it was very cool to watch. My husband was even able to participate before we left. The one downside I would note is that this is a child friendly show, which isn't a problem, except you may be put at a table with young children. When sat we were put next to each other causing a party of five to be across from us, they sat the young children at the end of the table, so they could see understandably, but they sat parents down at the opposite end. The family was very respectful, but if you are not a children person, this may not be the environment for you. Over all great show! I wish I wasn't exhausted and could have stayed for the whole thing!

The Dry Gulch Dance Club is a basic space, with a nice large dance floor, a good sound system, and…read moreplenty of parking. I gave it 4* because it is not the Statler. Tuesday nights is country line dancing with beginner lessons at 6PM, intermediate at 6:30PM, and dancing until 9/10 cost $10. My husband and I went for the first time this week. There were about 25 women of all ages in attendance. My husband and I did well with the beginner program, and stumbled through the 88!!! count intermediate program before deciding we needed to watch the You Tube video a few more times at home for that level. The group is very welcoming to newcomers, there are snack bags and water for sale or you can bring your own. I am definitely going back, and to Paula's other class at The Cove on Thursdays, as this will not defeat me. I think the Tuesday evening, and a 1st Saturday country dancing program are the only two regular events at Dry Gulch.

The Dance Workshop is an amazing dance studio and I have been dancing there since I was 5 and I…read morelove it. I love all the teachers and all the friendly people. It is so fun to dance there and this dance studio has made my dream become a reality. These people helped me become a better person and a better dancer, they taught me some of my very first skills like a backbend and a roundoff. I absolutely love this place. I practically grew up here. The Dance Workshop is basically my second home, and I love it. I will continue dancing here until I can't anymore. The recitals and classes are so much fun and everyone there is so understanding and fun. It is an amazing place with amazing people and amazing talent. I have been dancing for a long time now and have been doing contortion for two years and cheerleading for one. Dancing will forever be my favorite thing and will always be my number one thing. Even when I grow up and do bigger better things I will never forget my first passion and the people and place that got me there. I love it so much and can't express all my love for it in one review. It deserves so much praise and love. And if you don't believe me you can see for yourself. I love these people so much and they are pretty much my second family. I love you all. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do. I love you all!

She has moved to behind McDonalds on Broadway.We will not attend next year . I was still working in…read moreSept. when dancing started so my husband took the kids (My grandson and granddaughter) They would forget their shoes so Miss Joann told my husband to leave the shoes there then he would not have to worry about forgetting them so he did.The kids said they lost Julians and he was wearing girl shoes so I started looking again at the consignment stores for boy tap shoes (hard to find) finally found some in tan( I had black at the beginning of dance) and Morgan said hers were tight also so I had a pair from her sister and told her to bring the tight pair home I would take them to the consignment store. Well when i picked up the kids they said she wouldn't give them Morgans shoes she said the shoes were hers that they never had shoes.I was so mad who would send kids to dancing with no shoes ( NOT ME ).Well she would not even listen she just kept saying they were her shoes and they had shoes so why did i want them anyway...to take them back to the consignment store to sell and if she found Julian's black would be better than tan!! I am sick of people lying and not even listening to what you are saying. FIND A BETTER STUDIO FOR YOUR KIDS!!!!!

Community Theater at its finest! This was not my first show here and it won't be my last…read more Everything I have seen is fantastic from front to back of house. They have a couple of pre-sale ticket locations but being from out of town I can not access those sites easily. I do wish they had online sales for convenience but there has always been tickets available at the door so I don't stress out about it. Before the show you can peruse through giant scrap books with past shows and other theater information. It is cool to be able to look through a troupes history. Enjoy a snack any time as refreshments are sold before and during intermission. Just follow theater etiquette and try to keep the wrapper rustling to a minimum. Their home is in the Sheridan Parkside Community center which is an old school. The only slight flaw is that the seats are less than ideal due to the age of the facilities, but they are currently raising money to renovate the seating so I expect that issue to be resolved in the coming year. I believe all shows run two weekends at least and they often offer dinner theater on opening night of some shows. The acting is supurb, the sets are stellar and it has always been a great night of entertainment. I encourage you to support Towne Players, support your community and support the arts. It is worth it!

The Alleyway is a fine little theater. I always enjoy the performance whenever I attend. This last…read morevisit was no exception. Step into the way back machine as you sit in the lobby. Pretend you're on the lam and waiting for a bus to hightail it out of town. The current production "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" was terrific. The seating arrangement enhanced the audience experience by making you feel as if you're part of the show. Although the chairs are not too comfortable. Some people might benefit from bringing a cushion.

Terrific show tonight! Closing their 45th season with…read moreChristie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, an adaptation by Heidi Armbruster, a cast of seven playing multiple roles gave fantastic performances. This is a MUST-SEE. The play runs April 11 through May 3, 2025. Major opening is April 16. Tonight and 3 more nights are "preview" nights. Admission for preview nights is "pay what you can." Great opportunity for theater lovers on a tight budget. Acting, direction, lighting, sound effects all contribute to an evening of suspense and. . . a lot of laughs. Bet you weren't expecting that. Come out and experience a most enjoyable evening. Other reviews will give you more information about Alleyway Theater location, parking, and bar drinks.

I've been trying to get into seeing more theater lately, and my visit has only confirmed my thirst…read more It had been about a decade since I visited to see Peter Pan, which I had recalled mostly fondly, so I texted a friend and bought tickets for the show. We arrived about half an hour early after stopping at Lake Effect for scoops. Who needs dinner and a show when tummy ice cream is involved? The theater also sells snacks as food and drinks from the outside are banned. We were greeted outside by a dapper gentleman who held the door for us to get into the lobby. Unlike other theaters, there was elbow room to have them check out printed tickets and make conversation about the show. Others had digital tickets that seemed to work as well. We popped into the loo, which thankfully had multiple stalls, hardly any wait and was fully stocked with soap and towels. There were people selling souvenir toys and raffle tickets that we bypassed to find our seats. The playbill girl gave us a rough estimate of where we would be located. Thankfully everything is clearly labeled as to not get lost. For a mere 40 each, after fees, we were five rows back, centered. The view was clear, the sound was clear and the leg room- my gosh. For the first time in a long time a theater had room for me to stretch my legs a bit instead of cramming in more seats. The view is historically gorgeous in architecture and paint. Though we were there to experience the show, not just a building. The show started on time, held a brief intermission and concluded in about two hours. During that time, we got wowed by talented singers, very acrobatic dancers and mostly talented actors. (There was one that we would have probably chosen a different person to portray the roll, but I'm not going to crush a child's dreams when they did adequately. And others filled their rolls amazingly so I'm chalking it up to personal preference.) The costumes are well constructed without being extravagant. Tiny shorts cover any areas that would make this child friendly show receive an R rating. At the end, after all the standing ovations, we were able to exit with ease and get back to the car, parked at no cost in a nearby lot. Beat that Buffalo parking. Extra shout-out to whoever put the dual drummers in the loge to let us see the masterminds at work. They were the heartbeat of the show for me!

Out of pure curiosity I wanted to read the profiles of psychics in the area. And Jamie's reviews…read moreand profile were enlightening. :) Five Stars! boom! I was curious because I'm a huge fan of David Paulides, who is a researcher of missing people (he has three movies "Missing 411" which are awesome). He was talking about psychics and how they are vital to finding missing people, especially the people who suddenly disappear without explanation (spiritual involvement?). His most recent video on youtube (@canammissingproject) demonstrates a case where the psychic found a missing small boy!) I wish I had your alls spiritual gift! Thank you!

Jamie is a true gem! She is not only truly gifted [the real deal], but is SO passionate about…read moresharing her gifts with others in hopes to promote the well-being of individuals, and humanity at large. When you speak to her on the phone, she is exactly how she presents herself in her YouTube videos---- exuding warmth, caring, compassion, and a passion for sharing the messages, knowledge, and information she receives. She goes above and beyond, and I was truly blown away, not only by her gifts and accuracy about certain things-- **( and I will have it be known that I've been to at minimum eight well known, supposedly sought after psychics over the past 31 years }** --BUT by the caring I felt, and her willingness to go above and beyond to help me with the insight and clarity into certain personal situations that were causing me much stress ---with both sessions I booked going well beyond the average allotted time any other Psychic in the past has devoted. Time was of no issue, and I could tell and felt as though she just wanted to make sure she did her job of resolving whatever issues / questions, etc. were plaguing me. To date, I have had two sessions performed by her -- a reading, and a healing.--- I am EXTREMELY grateful for trusting and following my own intuition and booking with her for both. Prior to booking, I had been watching her YouTube channel videos for a little over a year.... and something inside was nagging at me to definitely book a reading with her, as so many of her supposed " Collective" readings, EERILY, more often than not, resonated with my personal life and all of the challenges I've been going through. I just KNEW that if I was gonna spend money on a reading, she would DEFINITELY be the person for me to choose... luckily my intuition was spot on. Jaime is a breath of fresh air, a needle in a haystack, and simply just a beautiful, kind, caring soul-- VERY obviously sent here by God ---or the powers that be, the universe, or whatever/whomever you believe in---- to help us through this wild, crazy, and currently very chaotic, anxiety producing journey we are all experiencing as "LIFE". I HIGHLY recommend booking with JAIME when considering or seeking a reading or a healing....I PROMISE you, you will not be let down!!! ** next, I intend on purchasing one of her personalized candles, and I will update my review after receiving that!** LOVE and LIGHT to ALL --- Laura S. {Texas, U.S.}
