What a lovely theatre. We love classic movie palaces and drove about 90 minutes to see a show here…read more The size is just right... not too big, not too small. The bathrooms were nicer than I expected. I heard they recently did a renovation and I thought expanding the lobby was a great idea. We saw the ballroom area on the second floor and wow, what a cool space that is. I had a few concerns though which I thought negatively affected my experience. During intermission I couldn't figure out why there was such a hold up exiting the theatre. Yes there were a number of older patrons who walked slow or with walkers, but that is totally fine. When I exited the auditorium I saw this HUGE bottle neck of the men's bathroom line, elevator line, people exiting the theatre and people entering the theatre... and to top it all off... they put the refreshment bar right there. OMG... it was so frustrating and such a bottleneck. I'd consider moving the refreshment bar to the main lobby area which seem to be much more spacious and give more room for the auditorium doors. While I thought the bathrooms were unexpectly large and spacious but there were some concerns I had. The line to the men's bathroom went well into the lobby, but the door needed to be handled by every person in line. I think a door stop might help to prop the door open and so not everyone had to touch the door. Every single person (hopefully) is washing their hands - but with a manual on/off lever, it just stalled the sink line. And, it made a mess with everyone's wet hands handling the faucet lever and walking to the paper towel dispenser. I think they could speed up the line and make less congeston by using automatic on/off faucets. This is what the Pantages recently did and it was a game changer. Same goes with the paper towel dispenser. Everyone had to wave their hand to get the towels to dispense. Ugg, it was sooooo slow. I'd much prefer the towel dispensers which would automatically dispense a towel immediately when one is ripped off. And, worst part, with just 2 dispensers in the men's bathroom, there was one that was not working with dead batteries. OMG... that should be a priority to check before opening the house. In many ways this is just inexcusable.

You can't get better than this with a community theater / production and you can't beat the price. Many of the musical shows are composed in house (like Wizard of Oz) and are unique to this theater which I didn't know - impressive. I was expecting the same songs as you would expect with such a well known musical, but it was all different and just as enjoyable. There was a few times they added Christian element to the story, but it was subtle and not in your face. The singing talent in the cast was pretty good as was the sound system. There is probably not a bad seat in the place as we sat near the back and had no issues. They have boosters for the kids as well.

I was entranced from the start to the finish. It ran at about two and a half hours I believe with a 20 minute intermission about 1 hour in to the show.

There was a silk dancer, rope dancers, tons of acrobatics, a guy with a nifty metal hoolahoop thing that he did several cool tricks with, jump rope acrobatics, etc. It was fantastic. I'd recommend this show to anyone.

At first I wasn't…read moreaware of what I was going to experience so I took it to YouTube to give me a few minutes of examples. At that point I was crazy excited to see this live. I loved how the performers engaged the crowd. At times the show were comedic, romantic and for the majority of the performance I was sitting at the edge of my seat. These super hero like athletic performers know how to put on one heck of a show. When you're 30 or 40 feet in the air swinging around on a curtain or rope doing flips and turns there's something to be said. If you're afraid of heights like me you'll know that nervous feeling you get in your feet when you're looking down just a few stories...this performance had that nervous feeling going up my legs and making my palms sweat. Yes, I was nervous watching (an amazed nervous if that makes sense) and there were a few times throughout the show I swear I was drooling while watching. Here's how I describe this: breathtaking, adrenaline rushing, scared (why? they're the professionals), nervous, jaw dropping, drooling, amazing, athleticism...the list goes on. Expect all of this and more: flips, jump roping, hanging from curtains, swinging, rope climbing, an exhibition showing off pure strength and laughter. I'm even missing a few things on this list. Oh...the music is live! That alone is worth going. It really is off the hook!!! And acrobats performing to music? It can't get any better than that. I can't pick a favorite performance of the night but one thing that I know everyone enjoyed was the filming act where the performer grabbed four people in the crowd to assist him play out a scene. When the audience participants weren't following along he made fun of them and had the entire crowd laughing. For sure I will be coming back to future performances and when I'm in Vegas for a business trip in September I'll make it a point to see this performance on their grand stage. I loved every moment of this performance. I sure do hope the guy whose popcorn was taken from him received another bag. It was part of the opening act that started the evening off with several laughs. I'm sure that makes no sense. That's why I recommend you see this while they're in town.

About 75% of the plays are geared for and to children, but adults find humor in the jokes and acting as much as the kids. The other 25% of the plays are sure to make an emotional impact, be it pure comedy or heart-wrenching stories based on real history, and all of it is truly awe-inspiring to watch. The set-up is fairly simple; some couches mixed with tables and chairs in the audience. Audience members are provided with a small dish of light snacks to start them off, and more snacks and drinks are available for purchase in the lobby. There's usually an intermission for people to take a bathroom break or to buy more concessions. The folks at this theater also sometimes provide silk roses for purchase that have tags attached for notes of encouragement and praise to individual actors. These are delivered during intermission, so it's best if they're bought and written early on. (Usually the actors also appreciate candy tribute, so you can do it with either a flower or a candy!) Following the end of a performance, the actors gather in the lobby for a meet and greet with their audience members. You can shake hands, ask questions, and take pictures with your favorite characters. This is one of my favorite theaters to attend. It really is a hidden gem in Yucaipa!

The parade includes fine gentlemen and ladies, a chimney sweep, a properly-kilted Scotsman playing his bagpipes, and another Scotsman that has to be at least 10 feet tall. Too bad they only do it one weekend each year. You will discover well-delivered lectures by 19th Century impersonators of notable people (such as Dickens, Van Gough, Emily Dickens for starters), imaginatively anachronistic storytellers (you cannot miss the zany Professor Peanut!), poetry lovers, and a wonderful collection of musicians. The Promenade in downtown Riverside, once known as Main St., is actually no longer a street at all. Instead, you will find a broad, public walkway lined with small and medium sized storefronts, graceful shade trees, benches to stop and breathe a spell, special water features, sculptures, and entertainment. The eye-catching historic Mission Inn, a glorious testament to old California architecture, is located about a block down from this delightful activity. This is all part of a permanent Downtown City of Riverside transformation. But during the festival, the walkway is infused with food vendors and retail booths, street entertainers, and strategically positioned stages scheduled with well-organized programs, so there is never a dull moment. Very ADA compliant, you will find little something for everyone...even friendly vibes if you wish to bring the family dog. For the kids (of the human variety), there was a goat petting tent. But later, we saw their appropriately 19th Century-garbed caretakers rambling down the promenade, mingling with the crowds. There are an eclectic list of street musicians to amuse, a Punch and Judy puppet theater to captivate your inner-child, and other regularly scheduled events (indoors and out, some free, some requiring tickets). The point is, slow down, allow yourself to be distracted, and absorb the full experience. Don't feel intimidated that this is only for the artsy types; costumes are fun but not necessary to have delightful memories. So, whatever your preference, come one, come all. Best of all, with the exception of having to pay for parking (in one of several large parking structures nearby), there is no entrance fee. The festival is active during daylight hours only.
