It was so well performed and the ending made me tear up. I must mention the set because it was incredible. Everything about the theater is so enjoyable from the lovely lady at the box office, the refreshment staff, the ushers and the actors. I highly recommend a visit to the BRCT.

The husband and I are big fans of the perfuming arts and are regulars at The Maverick Theater in…read moreFullerton, which we LOVE!!! So, whenever we take a trip somewhere and if time allows I try to find the local theater and catch a play, sometimes two. And, so since our last trip to Blue Ridge did not allow for a show; I decided that this time we would catch one despite our schedule. I went online (BlueRidgeMountains.com), started doing some research and found the Blue Ridge Community Theater. After clicking here clicking there I learned that their next show would be taking place the same time our trip...YAY! The theater is located literally across the street from the Swan Drive-In (which by the way is on our itinerary for our next visit--so keep an eye out for that review) the parking lot is small and was full (much to my surprise) the Saturday we visited. You may have to make our own parking space in the lot, or park on the street, but don't worry about parking on the street it's not like parking in LA, your call will be safe. When you enter the box office is located directly in-front of the main double doors. To the right end of the hall is the snack bar where you can get candy and drinks and to the left you will find the restrooms. I believe staff mentioned that the theater sits 100+/- people, so it's a good size and seating is standard stadium seats and set up. We had tickets in the front row and I had some concerns about the height of the stage. I didn't want to be looking up at the stage and even further up at the actors, but don't worry, the stage is at the same level as the first row so neck kinks will not be an issue. They company did a great job with the set and the overall performance was fantastic. They play we saw "Whose Wives are they Anyway" was hilarious! The actor's comedic timing was on point and my husband and I along with the rest of the audience laughed to no end. Ok, now being from LA the movie capital of the world where everyone is an aspiring actor and aims for physical perfection, I was glad to see actors who A) can act and B) look like normal people. I get tired of the perfect looking man and woman...I don't know about your but I can't relate to them and I like being able to connect with the actors in some sense. So, not only did the Blue Ridge actors know their craft but they are individuals who you can connect with. They are real people unpretentious, polite and eager to meet the audience. They are grateful to be doing what they love and they don't have the LA entitlement complex. We definitely plan on becoming regulars at the theater and look forward to our next show. If you, like my husband and I, like small production plays then I give Blue Ridge Community Theater a try. Oh, and tickets are available on-line and they take credit cards.

They also have a gift shop full of adorable merchandise: cups with the bear claw logo etched on (I got a wine cup lol! ) , cork bracelets (we got two), dog clothes, goat milk soap, t shirts etc. They have lots of seating options indoor tables as well as lots of tables with little fire pits outside and lots of games. On the weekends, they have live music. When we visited artist Russ Stills was there. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. He even came around the audience meeting and greeting with each table and taking requests. This is a fantastic spot to grab a drink and listen to good music and take in the beauty of the vineyard. 10 out of 10 for sure!

They offer private farm tours, carriage rides, a bed & breakfast, a wedding chapel and lots of flowers to enjoy. My family went on the carriage ride with Brian and Barbie. They use an original carriage from the 1800s which has been updated with fiberglass wheels and hydraulic breaks. The carriage is drawn by Moses and Aaron (Gypsy Vanner Cross horses). The ride takes about one hour along a mountain gravel road. For portions of the ride, Brian & the horses kick up the speed to around 40 mph. It's pretty cool and exhilarating. A fun family friendly experience. The kids enjoyed petting the animals. They have a donkey, a pony, fainting goats, chickens and pheasants. You'll also find daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, a type of cherry blossom and other flowers.
