SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL THEATER!…read more Sterling Playmakers production of Godspell was nothing short of amazing and it was a momentous occasion because it was their first production since being shutdown due to the Covid-19 virus. The cast was very diverse In every way; age, race, religion, size, you name it! It was beautiful to see so many different and relatable actors up there, it made my heart so happy, & all the actors were incredibly talented with some real powerhouse voices. WOW! The stage was simplistic and perfect for the performance. The pit band was actually on stage where you could see them play & they did an amazing job as well as lighting and the rest of the crew. Due to the recent surge with the Covid Delta variant everyone was required to be in a mask but I appreciate the safety and concern for others. I was so thrilled to just be a part of this special occasion and wonderful performance! Way to break a leg Sterling Playmakers!

Usually you feel so rushed at these dinner/shows but we had plenty of time. The food was very good and there were choices that should have made everyone happy. I cannot say enough good things about this performance!! We absolutely enjoyed it. None of us had ever been to a Murder Mystery before so we were ready for something new! The 2 Cast members were amazing! They kept us entertained and laughing the entire time! At the intermission, they have coffee/tea and desert at the same time. We appreciated this because you're always too full to eat desert with dinner but this gave everyone plenty of time to be ready for the delightful carrot cake they provided. The 2 Stars also stood around after the event to talk to everyone and take pictures! I highly, highly recommend this event! What made it even more special was that I was able to take my 15-year-old also!

We attended an Agatha Christie-inspired event. It was held in an industrial park building on the…read moresecond floor and came with food. There was a buffet. After that, I have to say things went off the rails a bit. For a start, this is the first "theatre" that had no stage. Not a small stage, no stage at all. We found ourselves, a group of 30-40 people crammed into a large room on the second floor with barely any room in July with AC so weak it was never below 76F. Then the show began. I was expecting a curtain to rise and a stage to appear, but sadly all the story and acting was done between the tables. I will say the acting ranged from surprisingly good to the obviously inispired acting of the audience members who decided to join in. The story was comedic and easy to follow, with references to Sherlock Holmes and even Indiana Jones. Sadly the heat and the terrible location without a stage made it hard to enjoy when the cast is constantly moving around. If they get a proper venue, I am sure they do wonderful things, but this was more like a test run. That I paid for.

Before I end my "positive list" I would like to recommend getting here early. Here is what they need to improve on: 1. The reason I recommend getting here early was because of their poor concept of crowd control. Luckily I got here just in time to squeeze inside the doors, but the other unlucky audience people had to wait outside in the 90+ degree weather. They could have easily fixed this by having people wait under the covered walkway connecting to the school. 2. The sound from the speakers was a little "wonky". In other words, it was loud at one second and the next second it was muffled. Other than that, I didn't have much against this place and can say it was a good Church show! I would defiantly recommend giving this place a try!

I am so glad that I did not allow the reviews I saw before going to the show talk me out of going…read more This show was amazing! I attended the 8:30pm show at Potomac Mills on Saturday, 8/1. Here are a few suggestions to make your experience the most enjoyable! 1. Remove any expectations of Cirque de Soleil. This is NOT your traditional Cirque de Soleil show. I have seen three Cirque shows, 2 in Vegas and one at the National Harbor in DC. This show is not on that level, it is however a nice upgraded circus filled with acrobats, water and lots of of oooh's and aaahhhs. We had two children and two adults. The kids are 5 and 7 and the entire time their eyes and mouths were open wide. Besides, you get what you pay for..and the last few Cirque shows I saw I sure didnt get the tickets for as much as a discount as I got these! 2. Arrive early! Especially if you have discounted tickets. We brought our tickets on GoldStar and there are two lines that will form. One to switch your printed confirmations for a wristband and one to actually get in. Call me a super planner, but we arrived in the area at 5pm. Had dinner at Red Robin, got over to the ticket trailer at exactly 6:30pm (wristtbands available 2 hours before the show) and then waited in the car for a few and got in line at 7:15pm (doors opens 1 hour before the show. They were a little delayed (about 5 mins) but it wasnt bad. Yes, its a lot of waiting, BUT we were the 3rd family in line and had front row blue level (the middle level) seating. Remember seats are 1st come, 1st serve. Although the tent is very intimate and there really are no bad seats, we still wanted to pick the seats we wanted without effort. Gold level ticket holders have a special VIP line and get to go in before everyone else. We had blue levels and our seats were fine. 3. Go to a later show. The heat comments freaked me out! We even saw a woman come out of the 5:30pm show as we waiting drenched in sweat. Our show however was very comfortable and cool and I'm thinking because the sun had gone down. It was warm, but not unbearable hot. So if you can go to a show a night. It will help! 4. Bring cash. The price for food was reasonable--$5 slushy, $5 funnel cakes, $3 large popcorns, etc. Not bad! But they only take cash so plan ahead of time. Also- we didn't do this, but bring your own snacks! They did not check our person and a few bags of popcorn in a ziplock and juices and water in a big purse could save you some money! 5. Sit back and enjoy! With a little planning this is can be a very enjoyable show. The show was long! We didn't get out until 11:15pm, BUT the show was so captivating that we didnt even realize that the time had gone by. It really is a great show!

Lots of booths of the same type of items. They should jury the booth participants and get a better variety. Long lines at the food booths and man what a wait for crossing at the train track, which bisected the town. The train stopped every 30 mins or so to drop off and pick up people and then there was the Amtrak that came through also. I probably wouldn't return as there wasn't enough to capture my interest for long. Seems like this is better suited for families with young children.
