Had to…read morecancel due to an illness and was given a time to rebook, but the time wasn't enough, especially with the holidays around. They were not willing to be flexible to allow for rebooking. It's truly the easiest way for them to KEEP your money. As parents with NO VILLAGE and no one to watch our children we are extremely limited with timing. Very disappointed that I couldn't experience this. And very disappointed that I couldn't enjoy this. I gave the rep the exact date and time that I wanted to book for but because it was "out of their window", they didn't allow me to book. That said, if you ever think you're going to have a MINOR inconvenience. DON'T BOOK HERE!!!

My family went yesterday for a girls' day, and we had a great time painting together. The girls…read moreworking there were wonderful--very friendly and helpful, which really added to the experience. However, we were very surprised by the drink prices. The board only listed single prices, and there was no pricing shown for doubles or larger drinks. After looking later, I saw that the full price breakdown is on the website, but I wish we had known this before ordering. Being charged $29 for an espresso martini, and 29 for a mule served in a plastic cup with no garnishes was pretty outrageous and definitely took us by surprise. I understand now when I put my apron on and found 3 empty nips in the pocket why this happened. Clearly the person that wore it before me had been before and paid too much! Overall, the painting experience and staff were great, just would wait next time and get a drink at the capital grill for the same price after.

Kept complaining about the noise (there couldn't have been more than 30-40 people at the event) accused almost every teenage there of under age drinking, believe me they were not!

If you want to spend $600++ on a venue and have the host call the cops on you. Go for it: )

There is on street parking and a municipal lot behind the main street business. Enter through the side door and you're in the main waiting area with plenty of historic pictures and local art.

It is also wheelchair accessible. The performance of Miss Holmes was really good. Good acting, and the set was really clever and creative. They also had snacks during intermission. Only a dollar for a bag of chips or a soda! The ticket price was also very reasonable. I can't wait to see their next play!

I rented out an office here at the Workbar location inside the Space Center and I can honestly say…read moreit was a very poor experience. This place is very raw and industrial and is more for artists and like metal shop or construction type companies, not professionals to use the space. It is basically an old warehouse turned into offices and small spaces for, what it looks like crafters and artists and not much else. The office I was in was freezing during the winter, the ceiling leaked all over my desk and the entire place is drafty and just not a nice place to work out of. As I mention in my profile, this is my opinion of course and not sure what I was expecting for the price I paid but this was not it.

NSC is a fantastic casual place to spend an evening. Informal seating, some tables and scattered chairs, seems like more chairs were brought out as needed but not sure there were seats for everyone though. Easy entry, no big city search and crowds, no parking worries or cost, beer, wine soda and snacks available. Meant to ask if ok to bring in a beer from Percival. Will definitely watch for future events to attend here. One suggestion would be to be a little more accurate on length and schedule of performance as Refugee did not actually play for 3 hours as described and we left wanting more.

They hold…read morefull-on puppet shows with elaborate puppets crafted by world-renown artists and with stories told by famous storytellers. You've probably driven by a hundred times looking at the bright lettering and the cool paintings on the windows but really, stop by for a show one night. They have adult shows too (not that kind of adult show) which is what I'm recommending. I'm sure the kids shows are amazing, great for brithday parties etc. but I've never actually seen a kid show. If you're looking for a funny interesting night, check out a PuppetSLAM which is what I saw... This is from their website: "It's an evening of short varied theatrical mini-plays for adults that use (or sometimes abuse) puppets for all or part of the drama. Each piece is performed by a different artist or artists, and the content can be wide-ranging; some are elegant or poignant, others are satiric, irreverent, or humorous, and still others can be passionate, political, or spiritual in nature. The performers range from the seasoned professional to the nascent puppeteer, and often include poets, musicians, dancers, mimes, actors, and other sundry affiliated artists." These guys are also non-profit, so help 'em out and go see a show. They're funny and you'll have a good story to tell about how you went to a puppet show :)

She had everything up and ready before the start of class, and she didn't exhibit any annoyance when our large group ended up getting settled late. She also didn't seem to stress when our class ran long. I've done a few Paint Nite type activities and kind of missed being in an actual classroom where I could refresh my cup of paint water at my pleasure. But it was nice that we didn't have to worry about clean up. I don't feel particularly comfortable with a brush in my hand, but even my painting looked pretty decent when class was over.
