I had a great time with Do or Die Mysteries at the Perry restaurant location in Olney…read more The Vibe: Favorite destination to the locals everyone is fun and talks with the people at their table. They don't recommend for kids/teens, because people are joking and talking ish and some of the improv could take a spicy turn at any moment. The chef and the actors walk around to the tables and introduce themselves. People come here to let out a laugh and unwind. The Food: Delicious! The crab cake sandwich was big/fresh all lumps with crispy hot fries that did not disappoint. The package comes with several options, from homestyle meat loaf to Mediterranean salad with chicken stuffed pita that my friend said was really good. You get 2 courses and a non-alcohol beverage. Dessert was good, a dark fudge cake with strawberries and whipped cream, enjoyable. The Drinks: The 2 martini's I had weren't blended well. I would stick with wine or something like a rum & coke. The Storyline: Creative and funny, about a dating show where the two contestants need to stay together for 3 years to get the million-dollar jackpot. Only issue, there's a love triangle. So, you can imagine who all had motives to secure the bag. They bring the audience into the story with question prompts and even had me in the hot seat for questioning by a detective. So hilarious! Looking for something different to do and you feel like meeting people over good food and theater, THIS IS IT!

I attended my first Do or Die Mystery Dinner a week ago. I had an amazing time! The food was good…read moreand the portions plentiful. You can participate or not in the show, as much or as little as you choose. The non-alcoholic beverages are included but they do offer alcohol for purchase. The servers were super and the cast was amazing. You can heckle the cast, ask questions of the suspects or just sit back and watch the performance. The show was full of humor and some double-entendres. The restaurant was a little chilly so where something a little heavier or bring a coat. Best 3.5 hours I've spent in a while and totally worth the ticket price. The whole show takes place in and around the diners making for an up close and personal experience. Don't miss going to one of their shows. Totally worth it!

Vick performed as Professor Snape at our twin boys' 8th birthday party. He was amazing to work…read morewith, especially in light of the commute required. We were so lucky he agreed to drive well outside of his usual area to perform. His illusions were mesmerizing, and he expertly handled a room full of inquisitive and skeptical kids by getting most of them involved in his performance. He gave a great message in the end of the performance also, drawing on the themes of inclusion and acceptance from the Harry Potter stories, which the adults present also mentioned as being a highlight. We cannot say enough great things about his professionalism and performance and we would highly recommend him for any event!

We hired Vick for our wedding reception! I was thinking of a simple way to entertain older folks,…read moreyoung children, and everyone in-between -- he was the answer! Vick had a wonderful story line and great tricks that kept everyone's attention! We had some guests that are very skeptical of magic tricks, and he still blew them away! I'm so happy we had him! We ended up starting his show a little late, unfortunately, but he was incredibly patient, set-up, and mingled with a few guests while he waited! He then put on a 45-50 minute show for all of us, and included some guests, my father, and us in the show! I highly recommend him for ANY event -- weddings, birthdays (children AND adult), social events, etc. Thanks, Vick!

I was looking for an art studio in the area for my 7 year old daughter and came across the…read moreChesapeake Arts Center. Class booking is done online. I found a Kids Paint Workshop and even though I was unsure of what to expect, I booked it and showed up with my girl. I am beyond excited that this center exists near me! Staff informed me it's an old school that was turned into this multi use art center. There were multiple classes going on, dance, art, etc. The attended workshop was such a pleasant surprise. It was affordable and my kids really enjoyed it and completed a real piece of art to display in our home! The instructor was professional, friendly, and patient with the children. Even though my son did not meet the age requirement, she still allowed him to participate (I paid and stayed to assist him). Afterwards, we were able to walk through the 2 free Art Exhibits on display which boasted beautiful work that was also for sale. My kids were so intrigued. They were amazed with the materials that were used & interested, asking questions and commenting on the visuals. I truly appreciate this center exposing children to the arts at a level they can comprehend. Don't hesitate to book a class or check out an exhibit! You will not be disappointed!

My friends and I are here for a comedy show. We have VIP tickets and are sitting on the front row…read more The seats are all one level, so if your short or happen to sit behind a person with a big head (smile) your view may be obstructed. There was an old musky smell that permeated all throughout as if the building hadn't opened in a while. Other than that it appeared clean and the seats appeared to be new. The rest rooms are located in the front of the building as soon as you enter, one on either side. There is a nice size lobby, the comedians were selling T-shirts, CD's, and odds and ends. I did not see a concession stand.

Recently finished Mike Harris' Intro to Improv 101 course (7 week course)- it was a blast. Had fun and learned a lot. As a student you get to go to all BIG's shows for free which is nice, good learning opportunity. They have various types of improv shows every Thurs-Sat nights, been to several and enjoyed them. Highly recommend taking a course or seeing a show. Am now in Michael Furr's standup comedy class which has been amazing so far. Aesthetics wise, it's no luxury theatre (they rely on donations and grants to stay operating, so this is understandable!) but it gets the job done and is homey. Convenient location near a few local bars. Parking Tip: If attending an evening show, get there early if you want to find easy street parking right out front (cheap, pay via kiosk or Parkmobile app). There's a parking garage across the street that's $5 if you tell them you're there for the theatre.

He was super attentive to his students, encouraged everyone to set their own boundaries and promoted open communication through games and improv.

I hadn't been to Medieval Times in 20+ years. There's one in Dallas, and I went a few times when I…read morewas a kid. When I found out my husband had never been to one and that there was one in Hanover, I decided it was an experience he simply had to have before turning 40. So about two weeks ago, we did it. I might be 25-ish years older than the last time I went to Medieval Times, but it's still a very good time. A jousting show, cheering, fun souvenirs, surprisingly decent food, and just a fun time! You may know that they don't do utensils (you're in medieval times now, after all), so everything has to be able to be eaten with your hands. The soup is served in a cup with a handle, but the rest are all things that are eaten with your hands: corn on the cob, roast chicken, a roast potato wedge, garlic bread, and an eclair for dessert. The show was still fun, and it was such a great atmosphere - everyone got so into it, cheering, waving flags, shouting... Is it cheesy and kitschy? Yes. But I still think it's a fun time! Nostalgic, too!

This is one of the best forms of dinner & a show I could've ever signed myself up for…read more Simply had to come since not many of these are located around the country. Everybody stays in character and lives up to expectations! I decided to go VIP so your highness could sit in the front. Even got a carnation from our blue knight! Very impressed with the food quality being that they have to serve a ton of people. You're getting an entire half of a split chicken, half of a potato, corn, soup, bread, & dessert. Quite literally the only complaint was the dessert since it was just a measly little eclair. They don't play when it comes to their alcoholic drinks either! And thank goodness for the price they want. The show was great, definitely entertaining, and the one-on-one combat was hilarious. You must go to medieval times at least once!

I'm not a big time gambler. I'm more of a "sit at the penny machine, hope and dream" kind of girl…read more From my experience visiting other casinos, this one was pretty decent. It's dark and loud, like most casinos, with plenty of slot machines to choose from. When we walked in, we did go through a metal detector, but no one asked for ID. There's free parking, plus valet parking if you prefer. The casino is connected to a huge shopping complex, so you have the mall, several restaurants, and plenty of other things surrounding it. We were only there for less than an hour, but we enjoyed our time. It was clean, and the bar area was nice, with a huge flat screen playing the games. It had a lively vibe over there, which was cool. Overall, a nice place to stop in, try your luck, and enjoy the atmosphere, even if you're just playing the penny machines like me.

Upon entering, my husband and I lined up to have our IDs checked and go through the security…read moreprocess. My husband gave his ID to the security man and he literally lost his ID. Completely dropped it or purposefully put it in his pocket. The situation should have been solved quickly but the man continued to just scan everyone else in line (even after acknowledging he lost the ID). After a minute or two of him making no effort, I tried to explain to him that this was a major problem. We were traveling from out of state and losing my husband's ID was an emergency that should have been taken seriously. I was told multiple times to "calm down" and how he "could find it in 2 seconds" - like, okay? Then find it in 2 seconds! I had to get multiple other employees involved to help look. The security guy who lost his ID continued making jokes about the situation, downplaying the severity, and telling me to calm down. 5-10 minutes later (at this point multiple employees are looking for the ID), the security guy pulls it out of his pocket. I have no idea if it was an accident or if this man attempted to steal my husband's drivers license for some reason. We were so stressed in this situation. Completely ruined the vibes of the night and our trust in the casino. If you can't trust the security at a casino entrance to handle things professionally, why go? Seemed super shady and I do not appreciate this man telling me to calm down as a paying customer when he failed to do an extremely simple job of scanning an ID and giving it back. We did not stick around after this experience.
