It makes me so proud to see the talent in this city whenever I attend one of their shows. I guarantee you that if you check back each season you'll find at least one show to enjoy. Every year their line-up changes and it always features an incredible variety of shows. I've seen a classics such as "Antony and Cleopatra" to the interesting (but potentially uncomfortable) "In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play)." My outright favorite evening with PICT was during a premiere of a play named "Our Class," which was an incredibly shocking but important play about, sadly, real events: a WWII mass murder of the Jewish community living in a town in Poland. No one wanted to speak during or after that show, and the actors handled the roles and portrayal of both inhumane actions and traumatic events incredibly and impressively well. Kudos to them and all of PICT for tackling such an imposing but important project. I have plans to see at least one more if not two more PICT performances this year; not once have they disappointed me, and their contributions to the theater scene in this city are always outstanding. Thank you, PICT!

I would definitely recommend CLO Academy to anyone interested in performing arts as a career in the future or really just for fun and to showcase your talent. It is a pretty expensive, but there is financial aid and can is doable.

I used to regularly attend City Theatre performance but reduced my support over the past few years…read more I won't be going back to any performances at City Theatre until there is a major change in leadership. I saw Hedwig at Greer Cabaret Theatre on Sunday. They changed the script to include Pittsburgh references but decided to leave in the line "and the colored girls sing..." in reference to Lou Reed's song Walk on the Wild Side. There were millions of other lines they could have chosen to reference Rock N Roll culture. Why choose this line? Why have white actors say that line? Regardless of who Lou Reed was referencing in the song, describing people as "colored" has a very specific meaning in the context of the United States history. Furthermore, he has omitted the word "colored" from the song and has other questionable songs in regards to race. City Theatre is comprised of a predominantly white board, white staff, and this show was primarily white actors with a largely white audience. I reached out on Sunday and asked for them to refund my tickets. I have not heard back from them.

I first attended this outstanding community theater group in Hickory, PA, when my daughter and…read moreson-in-law performed here earlier this year. More on that later, but let's talk about the group. The Old Schoolhouse Players (OSP) is a community theater group established in 1992 with the primary goal of bringing quality theatrical performances to the Hickory and Washington County areas in Pennsylvania. Over the years, OSP has presented over 100 dramatic and musical productions, enriching the local arts scene and fostering a strong sense of community through a shared love of theater. OSP was formed in 1992 by a group of passionate individuals who wanted to create a platform for local actors, singers, dancers, and theater enthusiasts to come together and showcase their talents. The theater group is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to nurturing the arts within the community and providing opportunities for members to develop their skills and passion for theater. OSP stages their productions in the Bud Allison Auditorium, located within the historically preserved Mount Pleasant Township Community Center at 20 Wasbash Avenue in Hickory, Pennsylvania. This charming venue offers an intimate theater experience for audiences and performers alike, with comfortable seating and excellent acoustics. Restrooms are downstairs, but they do have a handicap-accessible restroom on the first floor on the theater level. Notable Productions: Over the years, the Old Schoolhouse Players have presented a diverse range of theatrical productions, including popular musicals, dramatic plays, and original works. Some notable past productions include "The Sound of Music," "A Christmas Carol," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Our Town," among many others. Each production is carefully selected to appeal to a wide audience and showcase the talents of the theater group's members. I attended several performances here in May of this year, for a great production of Clue. The internationally popular game is a fun-filled musical adaptation that brings the world's best-known suspects to life and invites the audience to help solve the mystery: who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room, and with what weapon. The audience receives forms to help them deduce the solution from clues given throughout the fun-filled evening. Three audience members choose from cards representing the potential murderers, weapons, and rooms; there are 216 possible solutions! Only one hard-nosed female detective is qualified to unravel the merry mayhem. Comic antics, witty lyrics, and a beguiling score carry the investigation from room to room. Even after the culprit confesses, a surprise twist delights the audience. This colorful crowd-pleaser was devised by the authors of Murder at Rutherford House and other popular interactive entertainments. My daughter gave a fabulous portrayal that brought Miss Scarlet to life, creating a multi-dimensional character that was both enigmatic and charming. Catherine's portrayal of Miss Scarlet in Clue was nothing short of extraordinary. Her undeniable talent, beautiful vocals, charisma, and dedication to her craft made her a true force to be reckoned with on stage. She really rocked the blonde look, too! Also performing was my son-in-law, who not only sang but also danced with Catherine, which were my favorite moments. Alan's portrayal of Mr. Green in Clue was nothing short of outstanding. His hard work and passion for theater shone through, as he showcased his undeniable talent, charisma, and commitment to his craft, making for one of my most unforgettable performances that was both dynamic and energetic and lots of fun! Bottom Line: My experience with the Old Schoolhouse Players' production of Clue was truly unforgettable. The outstanding performances by the cast showcased their talent, dedication, and passion for theater. The intimate venue and engaging audience interaction made this theatrical experience even more special. I highly recommend supporting this community theater group, as they continue to enrich the local arts scene with their diverse range of productions. Don't miss out on future opportunities to witness the magic of the Old Schoolhouse Players on stage.

They have a fairly well stocked concession stand that offers a variety of chips, candy and popcorn. In the summer months, they also often serve ice cream in the ed center located next door. Seating is either in the balcony or on the ground level and seats are decently spaced out and fairly comfortable.

Dedicated staff, and volunteers, add their personal touch to help their patrons have an enjoyable outing. Because the theater is small, foot traffic in, and around lobby can get a little tight at times. Especially if ticket purchase, snack counter, and rest room lines overlap. During intermission, it has been a tradition to offer a serving of ice cream in exchange for a small donation. Nice gesture and well-received.
