When brought to the attention of the owner there was just an acknowledgment that they replace the wooden seats every few years and it always gets moldy again. I understand the challenge as an owner but it's unacceptable to allow people to unknowingly be exposed to something that causes such gnarly health issues. I encourage you to do better.

Nice small theatre, no bad seats. Staff is amazing. I have attended with a group of seniors many…read moretimes and staff are right there helping them to their seats, stowing away walkers until after the performance and then appearing right away after to help patrons leave. This last time, we were offered blankets to either sit on or cover ourselves as the theatre was a little cool. What a nice surprise! We have never been disappointed by the productions. Talented actors, fun props (Mary Poppins was flying!) and a live orchestra tops it off!

They dont just offer swim classes for kids, they have private lessons, adult refreshers to sharpen…read moreyour swimming skills and also swimming for beginners. The class that I was in was 25 minutes, and they make sure that its 25 minutes and not a second more. Dont get me wrong, you can really learn a lot from instructors if you show up and apply yourself. One recommendation for Finley would be to pull someone who is holding a class behind. Its not benefiting them in anyway and a lot of attention gets put on them leaving the rest standing(swimming) around alone. Implement a plan where someone can retake the first week of classes instead of allowing then to go on to week 2 when they're still struggling with week 1 assignments. Just be aware of this if you decide to sign up for any of their courses.

Thinking about trying water aerobics? Good for you! Watch out for the cranky water fitness instructor (she's been there forever). Her classes offer a combination of the same exact set of movements on repeat sprinkled generously with yelling and general crankiness. You'll understand what I mean as soon as you take her class. Lap Swim Hot Tip: I tried lap swim for the first time, and was quickly educated by another swimmer about one of the unwritten 'rules'; when sharing a lane, always let the swimmer in the lane know you are entering.

She was extremely patient and took all the time we needed to go over our dance step by step no matter how many times it took. Her expertise and passion for dancing really showed in each practice.

Emily McAuliffe was great! Both me and my husband had zero ballroom training and Emily introduced the foxtrot to us in a way that was stress-free and fun.

We're so grateful to Emily and we are thinking of coming back for group lessons.

He looks at Ali and Warren like they are celebrities and is absolutely enthralled with them.

They created a warm, safe, loving environment for children and parents alike. I remember my son would run to them after every class and give them the biggest hugs. Their music is fun and rockin and listening to the CD's in the car (on repeat) was actually fun for the whole family.....we still sing some of the songs years later! I believe this early exposure to music is part of why Reed, now almost 8 years old, is studying the guitar and in choir at school. Such a wonderful foundation and a place to build community with like minded mamas and papas. I highly recommend for anyone with a young child or infant!

Knowing some of the actors brings a whole different reality....seeing them in character so opposite of their normal personality you wonder if they have a multi personality disorders...Interesting to see the play with a room full of people and the actors act as if we did not exist and were watching through a one way mirror. All of them completely consumed with perfection for the roles being played...Being a one stage setup the change of scenes are limited but effective. To compliment the evening they have a well stocked bar of local wines, beverages and treats.....
