Community theatre is the heart of downtown Concord is full of charm, local talent and so much fun!…read moreI have attended quite a few plays, but this time we took in "A Time to Kill" and it was a delight! The quaint theatre boasts beautiful stained glass windows and comfy seats and the cozy community theatre vibe where no seat in the house is a bad one. We were on the front row center this time and loved it! The actors in this production were spot on and I loved the OCT adaption of the book/movie. The comedic moments had us laughing, but the serious moments were quite powerful in this intimate setting, and even though I knew the story, found myself leaning towards the stage waiting to see what was next! Visit the website for upcoming plays and patronize this precious hometown gem, you won't be disappointed! There is local artwork for sale in the lobby and light refreshments offered as well for reasonable prices. For every play I've attended at least part of the cast is mingling with the patrons following the play and I just adore that! So fun to chat with them and share your thoughts about that night's production. I can't wait to go back soon...seriously - check it out! It's not fancy but full of charm, not pricey but well worth the ticket price and not broadway, but an awesome way to spend a couple of hours and support local actors and musicians - what more can you ask for?

The instructors have taken the time to educate her on point shoes fit, lacing and even sewing your ribbons as well as tips on foot care.

My daughter likes to perform but finds competitions at times stressful so having the opportunity to perform in recitals both in dance and music multiple times a year has always been a fun highlight.

I did not attend the theater and on a Saturday morning, the building was locked up. But I did get a…read morechance to see the outside and the historical marker posted on the front entrance. The marker reads, "When Dr. L. J. Meroney and his sister Lena built the theater in 1905, its large seating capacity attracted professional troupes to Salisbury. Two of the most famous thespians of the day, the "Divine" Sarah Bernhardt and the glamorous Lillian Russell, performed on its stage. Also appearing here were "The March King," John Philip Sousa, and the New York Symphony Orchestra. With the advent of motion pictures, part of the building was turned into a cinema; eventually the whole theater became a movie house. Through the years the theater-movie house was known by many different names: Bijou, Fotosho, Grubb, Colonial, Strand, State, Center, and lastly, Towne Cinema. "Piedmont Players Theatre, Inc., purchased the building in 1992. After extensive renovations, they inaugurated the 1995-96 season in their new home. Once again the Meroney Theater is used for stage productions." The plaque was erected in 2006 by the Salisbury History & Art Trail. There is street parking in front and a free lot nearby.

Walking into the theater was a red carpet where I was greeted by 2 gentlemen with the biggest smiles who opened the door for me. As I arrived at the doors to entered the area to be seated I was handed a program and directed to my seat. Everyone was super friendly. It made me very comfortable and ready for the play. The Theater has 2 level seating (Orchestra & Balcony). I was on the lower left side which gave me an awesome view of everything. The Theatre was clean but extremely cold. I had closed toe shoes on and my toes were freezing. The Chairs were very comfortable with cushioning on the seat and back. I was impressed with the "fancy" stage that rotated 360 degrees for the different scene changes. Something like this in little ole Salisbury is pretty big. Afterwards we were directed upstairs to the 3rd for the reception. Again, the staff was super nice, I mean super. The room was huge with wooden floors. We wondered if they rented the area for private parties as it would be a nice space to hold events! In the future when I am looking for a space, I will definitely inquire! The entire theatre gave us this nice Historic/Antique feeling. It made you feel like you were a part of something great. Can't wait to attend the next production at Meroney.

The local theater community is active, and the actors are typically quite talented. The space is very nice, with an open lobby and a bar, which has a decent variety of beer and wine as well as some snacks. All of these can be brought in to the theater during the show. There are several nearby restaurants which are great for a pre-show dinner or drinks, and a few places open late, if you want to get something after the show. Actors are out in the lobby after the show to meet the audience. If you have a chance to see a show here you should grab it!

This is one of my frequented musicals, so I sat toward the back of the Orchestra, and the seats were still fantastic.

Speaking of pricy, parking is hard in Uptown so I highly recommend taking an Uber or Lyft here, it made our night way easier. We had a beautiful night, I can't wait for our next show here!
