Just adding my voice to that of others who are fans of this local theater company. Venue is small…read morebut they make the most of it. We are constantly amazed at what they can do with the very small space! Kudos to the Stage and props folks! There are no reserved seats but every seat is close to the stage. A line usually forms out front ahead of time and part of the fun is meeting your fellow theater patrons. Every production we have seen has been first rate. They don't shy away from any genres either, musicals, comedies, drama, you name it! The talent that is active in this area is outstanding. After each performance, there is also an opportunity to meet, greet and thank the cast members out front of the theater. Last weekend, we were able to experience Guys and Dolls, a classic musical theater production and they did an incredible job bringing it to the "small stage". Well acted, well performed, the music was spot on and a big shoutout to the Costumer - those "period" clothes were perfect, right down to the broaches and earrings worn by the ladies. If you want to take in a show, you need to contact them early. Given the small space in the theater and the large number of season ticket holders, there aren't usually many available seats. Even better, become a season ticket holder (like we did!) and you won't regret it!

The actors were very talented, the set was perfect, and the intimate venue made for a personable and welcoming experience. This was our first time attending a Pull-Tight Players production and now we're already excited about attending the next show! (For what it's worth, I really enjoy plays but my husband isn't typically a big fan...yet we both had a blast.) Don't miss this gem!

Because the theater is relatively small, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. They have some basic snacks and drinks, including a good selection of beer and wine.

It is refreshing to have a studio where learning how to dance is emphasized as opposed to just…read morelearning a dance over and over to compete. Every child's progress and development is fostered. Your dancer will be inspired to do his/her personal best. All of the classes are considered important for any level a child is dancing at, and all dancers, whether on the company or not, receive the same training. We had noticed before that if you are in "recital classes" at many places that you learn very little and can only achieve significant training if you are on their company. Ballet and technique are emphasized. This studio has drop in classes as well. My daughter has progressed significantly in the past year, and she is doing things she would not have had the opportunity to do before. My son also takes some classes here to compliment his athletic endeavors and lay the foundation for dance for whatever he may choose to do in the future. Hard work, discipline and amazing teachers have made both of them more successful. Whether you are on the company or not, all are invited to attend the conventions in which we participate. The company does participate in competitions in order to have the opportunity to perform, but they are not mandatory. They also will work with individuals to clean up dances they may be doing elsewhere or to enhance their training. I am thankful that this studio opened and that we had the opportunity to be here.

Music City Roots is a hidden gem of the Middle Tennessee music scene. The live radio and music show…read moreis held in Liberty Hall, the largest venue inside of the Factory in Franklin. Seats are set up in rows by the stage theater-style and then they have food from Puckett's Grocery available for sale on a side area of the hall with tables and seating. There is also a cash bar which you can purchase beer, wine or mixed drinks. Upon arrival, they have a table setup to get you checked in if you have reserved tickets ($15) or if you are buying door tickets ($10). Considering that there are several artists for each show this is an amazing deal. We had reserved tickets which was nice to not have to worry about seating as our names were already on our seats. The show has co-hosts who will begin the show with a bit of banter and dialogue. In between acts they will interview the artists and allow them to answer several questions. The artists were selling some of their merchandise in the back of the hall as well so you had time to check that out. When we came the artists included Sunny Sweeney, the Rev. Peyton's Band and the Blackfoot Gypsies. If even one of these artists did a solo show they could have easily charged that amount alone. I was amazed that I was able to see Sunny here as she has done shows at the Grand Ole Opry before. She was absolutely incredible! This event is well-organized and I was so surprised at the quality of artists who participate in this radio show. It's a unique and fun experience that anyone would enjoy.

What a great place to check out a show! Music City Roots is an old throw back radio broadcast with…read more4 or 5 acts each playing about 30 minutes or so with interviews during set changes. We have seen great popular entertainers new and old. Just check out their webpage to see who all as been there and you will be amazed! Another great part of Music City Roots is seeing bands that you have never heard of before and becoming fans of them! Tickets are only $10 for general admission and 15 for reserved. But there is not a bad seat in the house. They only have one bar, I think, so the line can get kinda long. But no worries. They also have local restaurant that caters the event, but we have never ate there. This season it is Pucketts. I have heard great things about their food.

Our family had been a part of ACSD since she was 2 years old in 1989. When she went to Belmont she was one of the BEST dancers in the Musical Theatre Program!!! We have seen parents come and go (just like the previous reviewer) who wanted to change the way the studio conducts its business. The program is sound. I find it interesting that ACSD is voted BEST DANCE SCHOOL in Williamson County 13 years in a row. I also find it interesting that there are many students dancing there that are 2nd generation students. (and some 3rd generations) I hope the last reviewer is content to drive his daughter out of Franklin. I will always recommend ACSD.

After her first class: "Mom it's so hard, there's so many steps and they go so fast!" Going from that to absolutely throwing down on stage at her first recital was amazing to see! She's been searching for her thing; and dance has become "it." Miss Jessica was her teacher, and she's just so sweet and good with the kids! The establishment as a whole is very warm and welcoming. The staff as well. And the recital they put on is so great! They make it entertaining for attendees. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately I had to move and quit but I recommend anyone interested in music or dance go there.
