Of course no pictures BUT we did get a little snake the other day and since I usually do only food reviews on Yelp....... here is one for the FST. Banana Ice Cream Sandwich (new) is fantastic!!! And the Pecan Pie with vanilla Ice cream is very good (in truth the pie is pecan covered on top but the pie filling is just a sugary gelatinous filling and could be improved....but it was slightly warmed and was very nice. (see pictures) We don't go here for the food, but a lite snack and drinks are awesome and convenient and fairly priced!!!

The sound and lighting effects are phenomenal here. We popped in to visit a friend who had flown down from Broadway and we were treated to the sights and sounds of an amazing production: Lucky Stiff! Will be planning a trip back to the Sarasota area and will have to catch another show when we return. The prices were very reasonable for such an equity cast. Brava!

The youth were superbly talented in their approach to this classic play, in full, glorious voice & touching roles well-played. Very hard to believe these were not professional actors - but then they were! It is brilliant, it shines, it is not to be missed if you can get on standby as the plays are all sold out at this point - but I got in, so tickets can be had... DO NOT MISS IT! Absolutely stunning in presentation, quality & presentation!

Service wise, I have never had a negative experience here and performances are always great, considering that it's a community theatre. I would also recommend volunteering if you can, it really helps the theatre out and it's allot of fun working with and meeting new people every show you do.

I should have said something as checking with others this is a common complaint! The actors/ singers are so talented and the theatre is so small they honestly don't need the microphones which make it over the top loud. Still love this place!!!

Nik and his amazing family topped the show with their wire-walking abilities, and inspiring true story of overcoming adversity that lifted everyone's spirits. Our own "hometown superstars..."

We arrived after everything started and sat where we could find a seat for 4 people together. Our seat was located in the front but we did not want to disturb the show. It turns out the people who belonged in these seats came after we did. The usher told us we had to move but we negotiated with the other people and they took our unused seats up front. It's a cute little place but when you walk in you don't know who works there and who doesn't. The ushers should have something in letting you know they are an usher.

Our table had no problems with ordering and receiving drinks. We didn't order food but what we saw looked ok. The place is very nice inside. There is a separate lounge area inside the door that is convenient for waiting or chatting. We went for a concert and look forward to more in the future. The location is walking distance so we didn't need parking but you should have no problem finding a spot.

This was the last email I sent. I'll leave it at that. It's been 8 days with no response…read more.. Thank you for the detailed explanation, but I have to be honest -- I find this situation unacceptable. Prior to signing up, I made multiple attempts to call and get information, but no one answered the phone. That lack of communication left me with very little guidance, yet I still chose to move forward and register, trusting your studio's reputation. Unfortunately, that trust has only been met with confusion and poor customer service. I wasn't given proper direction from the beginning, and now I'm being told I'm essentially locked into a credit for future classes -- when, based on my experience so far, I have no desire to return unless I choose to. I also want to be transparent that the person representing your studio showed little care or concern during my interactions. That reflects directly on your business, and I'll be sure to share my experience with any parent who may ask for my opinion moving forward. Additionally, I'm not sure why the message keeps being pushed that your summer classes are full or have waitlists and that's why you cannot refund . When you call the recording states your still taking summer students and I actually just went to your website and it still shows summer sign-ups as open and is allowing me to sign up as a new student to all of those classes my daughter was in?!!! With that said, I respectfully decline any credits and do not wish to be locked into your programs. I believe the fair thing would be a full refund, considering the circumstances. Please let me know how you plan to proceed.
