It's a little hairy getting to the actual location, as you have to walk along a very busy road on the UNC campus, and it's a narrow path to follow. I think they should figure out a safer way to enter the theatre, and they don't have safety railings on the steps getting in. But, I understand the theatre has been there a long time and I guess it works. Many of the puppets were ruined from the hurricane that came through here a few months back and a location near UNC volunteered to help rebuild the lost puppets and money was collected from the community. It's a wonderful example of community coming together to support such an amazing theater. I enjoyed the show and the interactive pieces were great for kids and adults.

Good signage, had no problem finding our seats. Friendly folks at the door. Clean, nice restroom, with surprisingly less of a wait than I would have expected after a 90 minute show. Only issue is PARKING. Plan accordingly, as there isn't any that we could find on campus, at least not while school is in session. There is plenty of public parking behind Franklin Street on Rosemary, and it's a short walk. TIP: The Carolina Inn is within close walking distance. Great spot for a before or after drink, snack or meal. Of course Franklin Street is full of places as well.

I saw one of the Paperhand Puppet shows there last summer - the great venue played a huge part in the surrealist entertainment of the show. I believe most of the shows at the Forest Theatre are coordinated by Playmaker's Repertory Company, but tickets are only sold at the door. Admission is usually $10 for adults, with a discounted rate for kids. The Forest Theatre is a beautiful place for weddings, as well.

There will be a little lake on the right of the road. Go past the "No trespassing, We prosecute!" signs and then, as you get close to the parking lot, take the gravel road that goes straight (left) down into the woods. About 100 yards down that side road it will open into a clearing where the DanceArts Studio is. The Studio offers classes for all ages 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 8+up. The younger age classes are movement classes which get the kids prancing and dancing, growing like flowers, or learning some basic ballet movements. For the older kids (8+up) I think they offer various classes on different dance techniques (ballet, hip/hop, jazz, ...) Classes (for the younger kids) typically meet once weekly for 45-60 minutes and cost a monthly fee of around $45-55. Parents don't have to be present during the class - feel free to head off to do grocery shopping, etc. During the summer months, they also have some variety of part day summer camps although I have never tried them.

Here's the gist of the Storyslam: eight storytellers tell five minute stories (based on their experiences) that are judged by audience judges. The storytellers' names are picked from a hat, so you can attend as a storyteller or as just an audiencemember. The storyslam has a theme. For example, Pissed. So people told stories about pee, anger, and/or drunkenness. However they interpreted the theme. All the storytellers are local heroes, as it takes courage to get up there and bare your soul. Tickets sell out by the day of, so get on their mailing list.

I started my daughter (5) here at the recommendation of several people who take dance seriously in…read morethe area. We tried a dance studio close to home, and while the people were friendly- I felt that they tried to pack too many dance forms into one class leaving the kids lacking in developing any real skill or retention, painfully obvious at the dance recital. Even though she turned 5 just after the deadline and was 4 in the 4's class for a very short time, I don't resent as the previous commenter does, this choice. Schools have to have a cut off somewhere, and I respect their decision. I am so pleased with the switch. My daughter is gaining skill and learning ballet consistently. The whole 45 minutes of her 4 year old class is ballet, and the kids have a higher retention because of the repetition and the dedication to just ballet during this time. The teachers are very skilled. TYB also does a great job incorporating their older dancers in with supporting younger classes. I am really happy with our time here so far and know my daughter will continue to grow in both confidence and skill here at TYB.

The theater seats around 600 people. Accessible seating is located at the top of the venue. There are stairs to get down to the other rows. They are on the steep side and the heights of the steps are uneven but there are handrails on the two sides. I sat in the front row so I'd assume the slope makes all the rows have a good view as you shouldn't be looking at heads. I'd recommend checking the sports schedules before buying a ticket with the box office as if there is an event you cannot park in the nearby garage but need to park in a lot further away which makes finding the venue harder if you are not familiar with Duke's West Campus.

Allow plenty of time for parking, especially if other things are happening on campus. Seating in the theater is quite steep. There's a wide aisle that goes down the middle with no handrails, then more narrow aisles on each side that have handrails. Steps are uneven and you do have to be careful. Be careful where your seats are if you have special needs. We had front row seats, so exiting for the restroom meant climbing back up those stairs.
