The first several classes were a learning experience for our young granddaughter. She initially enjoyed the classes but with every week that passed the class teacher seemed to become increasingly agitated with our young granddaughter and didn't seem to have the patience for this age group. our granddaughter was to my knowledge one of the youngest participants in the class and did require redirection during class to ensure all the children's safety (she would run around enjoying herself) on our last day we attended our granddaughter was running a muck and Miss Angie held her hand to redirect her and our granddaughter pulled away crying and was told to matter a fact to leave. She ran out of the dance studio in tears. I get it safety is # 1 priority. But she was already leaving the statement from the teacher of "leave then" was uncalled for and made her not want to come back to dance which breaks my heart because the teacher has surpassed her tolerance for this age group. Very sad experience

Restrooms are outside just a short walk from main entrance. Ticket booth center of building on the outside, single window so plan accordingly. There was only one person ahead of me on arrival about 20 minutes prior to the show to pick up my ticket. Very friendly staff, quickly directed to my seat with ease. Seats are a little aged, but this is also a historic place to enjoy shows. Had clear stage with single level angled seating arrangement. Concessions had a good little variety of drinks and snacks to choose from (no cash, card only). Glad I was able to catch a show in this historic venue!

I wouldn't expect such a small theater to have Broadway shows, but it seems this had developed as…read morean important theater where many famous actors have performed. Because it's an older theater, their solution to a smaller parking lot is to have everyone park in a long row, and they make you pull up so that you're bumper to bumper. If the cars in front of you hustle to the parking lot, it's fine. If they don't, you're stuck until they show up as the cars park so close you can't even get out. I don't love that, but there is nowhere else around to park nearby. The lobby is pretty small and gets very crowded before the doors open. There are snacks and souvenirs for purchase. They don't have a bag check, so I brought my own water, which was great. The theater itself is small and cozy, so most seats will have a good view. I saw Come from Away and was definitely seated closer and more affordably than I could have been in a NYC venue. The performers were all very talented - this isn't just some locals who got on stage. The warned many, many times there was no intermission, and they wouldn't let you back in if you needed to use the restroom, which seemed a bit extreme. There were a lot of other good shows in the upcoming season, so if you are from nearby or staying in the area, it's worth checking out what's on stage. It's a good experience at a good price.

The facility and property has been well maintained. The new ownership and staff working were very outgoing and kind and helpful. I think the lady serving the liquor was part of the ownership or management. Very nice and welcoming. They are going to be showing Hocus Pocus, classic 90s Halloween film this season. Along w Rocky Horror Picture show and other classics from the golden era of film. Horror movies like Halloween or Friday the 13th would be great as well. It's a great and perfect throwback to yesteryear with the layout and how they do things. The owner said they do trivia and Cuban dance lessons among other fun events there. It's really a great find and I wish more towns had these small local joints where it's intimate and fun and a great experience. The burlesque show was awesome. All the woman were attractive and the show was great. My first ever. Looking forward to my next visit at the Strand. A great spot when in Dover to visit.

I was able to get my ticket online. When I showed up for the film, I was surprised to learn that building opened in 1878 and still has so much character. The theater is beautiful and even the lobby and restrooms are unique. All of the staff was helpful and friendly as well. It holds about 900 people, so I imagine it'd be great for a concert as well. I sat 10th row, center and had a perfect view of the screen. The sound was solid as well, but don't expect IMAX or anything like that. I'm glad I popped in. I don't know if I'll ever be in Portsmouth again but if I am, I'd happily stop in again for a show or film.

It was at the now defunct Damariscotta Performing Arts Center, housed in a converted barn still faintly redolent of pigeons. We learned about the performance on a now defunct local radio station, WAVX and bought tickets. It was a rainy night and we had a short drive back to the B&B where we were staying in Wiscasset. The concert was wonderful and we bought all 5 of his CDs, which we continue to enjoy. We are planning a trip back to Maine the end of August. Today I received an email from Paul Sullivan about summer concerts he will be performing. The final one will be September 6th, in Ogunquit, where we will be staying. We were due to leave Ogunquit that day for Rockport, but have rearranged our schedule so we can attend the concert that night and move to Rockport the next day. I bought a couple of tickets online via the Ogunquit Performing Arts website. The process was easy and prices were extremely reasonable. We are looking forward to this treat.
