Not sure why this is the first time checking in here. My daughter has been coming here for many…read moreyears. She's grown up here. She's become a young lady here. That's a big part of what they do here. Dance, of course. But both girls and boys learn about basic decency and manners in addition to the many types of dance (ballet, tap, jazz, modern, etc). Note: This is not a competitive studio. However, they do follow the Cicchetti ballet method and there are grades/levels the students are tested on regularly, if they so choose to be. They also can be tested on tap. The owner of the studio is on the Cicchetti board and having CDC as a test center is great. This is a global organization and the students get to meet kissers from around the world as well as students coming here from around the country for a period of time. There is a summer program that runs 8:00-1:00 everyday as well as access to other summer programs (and competitions) around the country and even the world. If you're looking for a dance studio, you should definitely come check it out and take a class or two!

Get there early to get a parking spot! It's a cute area to walk around on a nice day, or the bar opens well before the show and there are nice velvet couches to hang out on.

I was fortunate enough to have one of my plays included in the 2008 Playwrights' Conference, and…read moresince the playwrights are asked to stay for an entire month (even though our own workshops are only 1 week), I got to have the full-on O'Neil experience. While in Waterford I saw an extremely diverse batch of plays (in terms of style, content, and execution), a handful of so-new-they-wrote-the-music-yesterday musicals, and all kinds of special panels and events -- all worth the price of admission. The staff at the O'Neill were beyond friendly, and the creative team we worked out for my play were top-notch. My room in the cottage did what it needed, and a bit more by being a mere 50 feet from Blue Gene's Pub. The productions at the O'Neill are workshops, meant to help their creators refine and develop the work. Consequently, the actors have scripts in hand and the design is only sketched out. I thought this meant things would be pretty rudimentary, but I was surprised time and again at how there were just enough elements present to allow me to imagine a full production. The work they do is truly remarkable. I haven't a negative thing to say. If you can make it up, catch a show. You won't be disappointed.

They have indoor and outdoor theater settings and there's more than one thing going on at the same time. Very cool.
