My friend and I attended our first play at the Oak Ridge Playhouse in July 14th to see 9to5. It was…read moreexcellent!! This is considered a community theater although it did appear from the playbill there were some professional actors as well. Everything about the show, except for a few 4 letter words(all of which we have heard before), was outstanding. This will not be our only time attending this theater and we are already making plans to see Blithe Spirit. Our only complaint is lack of legroom between rows of seats if you are tall or leggy.

Great local place to see a play or ballet. Hairspray tonight was great.read more

What a great addition to downtown for artist and instructors to rent to hold classes!

Rooms are Medium size, to create an intimate setting but large enough to have your own space. The location has hardwood flooring and full length wall mirrors to make this a perfect spot for yoga class, it also has its own parking in the back. This is a great community spot, as anyone can rent it.

The Grove has been a nice addition to the local arts scene. After years serving as a movie theater,…read moreit's become a "real" theater again, thanks to local initiative and the generosity of the church that owns the building (and uses other parts of it for church services and Sunday school). The stage that was hidden behind the movie screen for many years has been exposed once again and is used for concerts and other performances. It's not exactly Carnegie Hall, but the acoustics seem to be OK, the refurbished seats are fairly comfortable -- and there are plenty of them (several hundred -- I'm not sure how many the auditorium holds), and the spacious lobby is a good place for mingling during intermission.

The Knoxville Children's Theatre has been a lovely experience for our 10 year old. He took two…read moreclasses and summer camp before venturing into his first play. If you are looking for an excellent, inviting theater program for your child this is the place. Get thee to Knoxville Children's Theatre to see the current play, The Reluctant Dragon. The whole cast is outstanding. The dragon is so funny, St. George and his vanity will make you laugh over and over. Glaston is charming and Woolchester is a stand out, not to mention that hair. What a fine production from the kids and Steve Sherman.

I don't know where to begin. This studio claims to have a positive atmosphere but DO NOT be fooled…read more False rumors are spread by the "director" (if she really deserves that title) about her paying customers. She tells other dancers and dance parents these rumors to turn everyone against them. Hannah Hale makes claims things have happened when she knows for a fact she made it up. She is a liar. If she truly had an issue with a dancer, she should go directly to the parent, however, she did not because she knows she is making stuff up. She is honestly not experienced enough to be teaching dance either. She puts people in pointe shoes way too early and when they are not ready. She also puts people in pointe shoes that DO NOT fit. She will ruin your child's feet and confidence. There is a reason SO many people have left in the past few years. All of these positive reviews are left by Hannah Hale's posse. She has asked them to leave these false reviews to make her business look good. Also, the floors are extremely dirty and never cleaned. If you want yours or your child's feet to be black and COVERED in grime within thirty minutes... this might be up your alley. Please go to any other dance studio in Knoxville and save yourself.

Despite being in the middle of a move, I was able to schedule a private lesson with one of the instructors, and I was so pleased to work with Young! The new Dragonfly space is gorgeous, and I hope I get to return to see what it becomes as they live there longer. The studio is located in a warehouse so it can feel like you're arriving at the wrong place at first! (But we know that can be normal for aerial studios)
