The building, Pickard Theater, is beautiful and looks like an old church. The ushers were friendly and helpful. We were sitting midway back in the balcony and had a perfect view of the stage. I doubt there's a bad seat in the house. The tickets were more expensive than we expected but it was absolutely worth it!

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.

I can't believe this place doesn't have a single Yelp Review…read more PLEASE, somebody, TELL ME YOU'VE BEEN HERE! I should start this review by saying that I was born and raised right in quaint little Harrison, Maine (and had never been either)... Smack dab in the middle of 2 beautiful lakes and surround by mountains. It. Is. Perfect. We're small and quiet and we like it that way. So it may surprise you to hear that it's home to "Maine's Most Enchanting Theatre", which was built in 1935 by Enrica Clay Dillon, who was a prominent opera singer and sister in law to Clark Gable! (I learned all this last night at my very first show, so naturally I gotta drop some knowledge on y'all!) It's a 350 seat theatre built of rose hemlock and the second you walk in the doors you can understand why the word "enchanting" is used to describe it. It's a woodsy, warm & inviting place. Not a bad seat in the house, however in the middle of July it does get quite toasty in there considering it has barn doors and camp style windows, (remember -- enchanting) .. Last night, I accompanied my grandmother to see "Open The Door For 3" which is an incredibly talented Celtic Trio. I know there was an Irish Guitar player... and a lady Fiddler.. and then.. the man with the weird pile of stuff-- which I can't tell you what it was, but, BOY did he know how to play it... it was a flute and a tin whistle and another bagpipe-y thing on his arm (he was all over the place!) Not only were they are extremely, EXTREMELY talented musicians, they jived SO well together!!! If you ever get the chance, let them entertain you, it's a really remarkable thing to hear music that's hundreds of years old. One minute it felt like the Titanic was setting sail, and the next I felt like I was Rose, in the basement of the cargo space dancing and drinking beer with a bunch of rowdy Irishmen. But, you be the judge yourself. Regardless of whether or not you like a Celtic Trio, or the theatre in general- Please please do yourself the favor of visiting this breathtaking little venue for at least one show. They do kids shows during the weekdays and on show nights they encourage you to pack a picnic and sit on the lawn before the curtain bell rings. Whatever you do, just go! And tell a friend. This place is really something special.

Maine is full of out-of-the-way venues with special flair, and the Deertrees Theater is at the top…read moreof our list. Built in 1936 when Americas were first beginning to vacation by car, Deertrees Theater is in the cute town of Harrison at the tip of Long Lake. I can envision that it was a great hangout for the rich and almost rich to enjoy productions put on by top performers from the NYC and Boston opera and Broadway shows, because it was too hot to stay in the cities. Now the audience is made up of locals and summer visitors who clearly know what a special place this is and visit it frequently. Deertrees Theater is billed as the most acoustically perfect theater north of NYC. I can't say whether that is true, but I can tell you that the acoustics were terrific. The audience could easily hear un-amplified performers from any seat in the house. The Deertrees Theater has a really full schedule while it is open. The playbill we saw had something going on at least 3 days a week. Some were plays, many were musical performances. The show we went to, Susie Pepper and Mixology, was of the highest quality for musical showmanship and talent. The theater sells homemade cookies, coffee, wine, beer, and lots more. There are restaurants and taverns in Harrison, and Bridgton is right around the corner with several more places to eat. We drove over an hour to attend the show, and we are so glad to discover this wonderful place. No matter if you are not close by, you will not regret exploring this part of Maine and coming to the Deertrees Theater. There are just so few places as well maintained, well managed, and with so many great shows. We had a spectacular time and hope that others will too.
