I've been going to Cutting Edge Center of the Arts for quite some time now. My first show was going…read moreto see Rent with some coworkers. This was when the theater was inside of Attraction's Salon and the experience was like no other. I had quite a long hiatus, not due to anything in particular, but by the time I returned to Cutting Edge as an audience member, the theater was a whole new place with lovely theater seating and an elevated stage as well as very professional sound and lighting. I want to say my first show back was Beauty and the Beast but that's all it took. It wasn't long before I was a season passholder. I have seen many shows at Cutting Edge from big musicals to small straight place and also many original shows that paid tribute to some of my favorite musical artists of all time. One day I got brave and auditioned for Rock of Ages that began my time on stage at Cutting Edge Theater instead of in the audience. The people I've met throughout my experiences there have all been wonderful and being a part of Cutting Edge Center of the Arts has truly made me a happier person. I am proud to now be among the board of trustees and to support this theater in as many ways as possible. There is something unique about Cutting Edge Center of the Arts. It truly is the most intimate and innovative theater I've ever been to. I believe everyone should strongly support all of their local community theaters as well as other arts in their community because without art the world would be so dull.

There's a bar with snacks as well before the show and during intermission. Brian, the owner, also does great youth shows throughout the years. Two shows coming soon include Moana and Aladdin.

And this theater is the perfect size with several hundred seats available. The sound is pretty good and the seats are a good size.

Fine spot to catch a show, especially when adolescent family members are in it!

Poor technique taught at lower levels. To say that my child has a grasp of proper technique would…read morebe a bold faced lie. She has been attending for a year now. I would think she would at least know some. Tons of costs that you are not told about upfront. If you want your child to be in the recital, prepare to spend hundreds on top of the costumes and tuition. There is ALWAYS something new that is "mandatory" and expensive. They say it is all in the packet you get when you register, but I read that packet cover to cover several times and either I was missing a page, or this is just not so. Classes are canceled and not made up nearly once per month. You are not reimbursed or have any tuition deduction for these missed days. Some higher level classes will get a make up day. Some. You cannot watch your child practice either. At first, I thought that was because this was a start up sort of place, but no. They have been doing this for over 20 years and still cannot put in 2 way window/mirrors so you can watch your child. There is also not adequate seating. If you want to stay and wait for your child to finish, be prepared to stand or sit on the floor. Also note, you will want to bring your child already in their dance clothes as the only changing room available is their only bathroom. In the year I have been bringing my daughter, someone has always been in that bathroom. So I hope you and your child have an empty bladder too.

I have attended about a dozen productions at the Columbia, and only had one real problem, i.e. the balcony. I was told by a employee that I might be too tall to fit up there, but I did not listen to her advice. (I spent the entire show with my legs sticking out into the isle.) If you are tall, the balcony is not for you. Parking is not an issue. Spaces are available on the street or in the nearby parking lots.

They will accept the tickets on your phone rather than printed. You can find out which play they are putting on by searching them via Facebook or their website.

I went to my first concert here last night, and I am hooked. The trailhead is a perfect venue for an outside concert. The stage has a concrete dance area directly in front, and the seating area is a grass area that slopes upward, ensuring everyone can see the show. Outside food and drink weren't allowed, but two local restaurants served food and the venue sold drinks. One of the food vendors (Lago) sold shrimp fajita plates for $5. Beside the fajitas, the plate came with rice and beans. It was great. I cant imagine another place to get food, drink and music for so cheap. The performer last night was Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots and they were incredible. I have always enjoyed Sunpie, but in this small of a venue, he really shined. The dance floor was packed with kids, and adults dancing to every song. I thoroughly enjoyed this concert and hope to attend several more in the future. These concerts are perfect for families or couples who want a cheap night out.
