    We have been season ticket holders for years and have seen lots of plays. Beauty and the Beast is one of the best performances to date! It is a classic story which came alive with flawless acting, great costuming, and effective staging and lighting. Congrats to the whole cast and crew!

    The theater itself is just the performance culmination of a backdoor stage shop and practice theater. It is older and smaller compared to a newer theater, but this doesn't diminish from the over feel of the performance. If you have a loved one that goes through one of the play wrote and stage performance, you quickly realize there isn't enough parking in the back square where you would drop your loved ones off for practice. Turn left directly past the corner store to get into the square behind the theater for practice. The stage shop is also located back there. If you are coming for the performance only please park on the free parking garage and walk across. Use the appropriate crosswalks while assuming no car will stop for you. It's usually pretty safe. However, some non locals don't realize they have to stop.
