I have been bringing my two boys here for several years since we homeschool and NPAC has an awesome…read moreschool program with special performances just for kids. Jill Reeves is the woman in charge of the school programs here and I have had to be in contact with her to make reservations, take payments, and to ask questions. She has always been so kind and quick to respond; and with the quality of shows put on for the kids, you can tell she cares deeply about this program and her job. Before some performances, NPAC will even create a study guide for the students/teachers/homeschoolers and send out in an email. Again, since I homeschool my two boys, this is a wonderful resource and extra step that is greatly appreciated! Some of my family's favorite memories are of taking field trips to see shows here--so we will keep coming and promoting this center and program!

It's a small enough venue that even balcony seats are fairly close. The service is friendly. Unlike…read morelarger venues, ladies can take their regular purses in rather than wallet sized ones.

Parents, actors and patrons of the arts need to check out the new space for ENCORE Theatrical…read moreCompany! Whether you want to come see a show, work on set or brave the stage ENCORE will prove to be a resource for you and your family. This company produces shows for children and adults alike. I've seen the first two productions of their current season. Speaking of season, as it starts to warm up couples around the Morristown area will be looking for something new to do and an outing to the theater makes a great date night. SEASON TICKETS are a great gift idea! Recently I helped backstage with the production for End of the Rainbow, a musical by Peter Quilter, which tells the humorous, touching story of the fabulous Judy Garland. While unveiling incite to the elusive abuse endured by this iconic legend of the silver screen and her unfortunate passing, this show will make you laugh and give you pause. The set was great. Lighting was spot on and under the direction of Interim Executive Director Dr. Dennis Elks, the cast of local actors kept our eyes glued to the stage. Tennessee is the Volunteer State and over this past month it has been an honor to volunteer for Encore Theatrical. It feels good to work alongside other creative, passionate individuals all focused on helping not only our youth but new and seasoned artists alike have a space in which to grow. People can offer their help to assist with costumes, set construction, painting, organization, marketing, community outreach and so much more (all while exercising an old skill set or developing a new one)! Theatre will always have a place in the world as its roots are grounded in storytelling and empathy which connects all types of characters across all walks of life and sometimes you see a performance worthy of an ENCORE.

We didn't see any plays or anything but the staff was kind enough to let us walk in the theater and it was absolutely nice. I loved how they remodeled this entire place and it looks so historic and well maintained. I would say that there is about a couple hundred seats here and a cool little Lounge on the second floor. Great to see plays and even movies too! There's always events being featured here. It's a great place to go to brings the community together!

Read that, "close, intimate, and not too stuffy." Parking can be a trick sometimes, but that's just anyplace in downtown JBO. We really like it, maybe because it's so close and we like Jonesborough. But, really, I'd recommend it for visitors too. If you're into live performance art and cool stuff like that.

When I arrived yesterday, the White Horse announced that it was now a membership based non-profit business that will allow it to continue on indefinitely in service to performers and the community. One doesn't have to be a member but membership bring additional benefits depending on the level of participation. The performance was well attended, the music and acoustics outstanding, and the bar service appreciated. Just visit their website for info on upcoming shows and a breakdown of the new membership levels. This venue is definitely appreciated and supported by the community. It is worth a visit, contribution, and/or membership.

FUNNY IMO the old prudes in front of us left half way through the showing because they thought it was too risqué. God forbid two women kiss for a second- adding in details of LGBTQ+ had a plot reason in the end if they would have stayed for it. Looks like they found their way to the reviews here too unfortunately. Personally, I wouldn't take it with a grain of salt This got me interested in the lore behind Lizzie (had no clue about her previously). Would return again If you do some research many of the rumors surrounding Lizzie ranged from incest, gay lovers, and other things too which help make her an outcast along with the murder of her parents back in her days. We will be back!!

We were excited to see the opening show of Lizzie, but were sadly disappointed. The description of…read morethe show did not mention that, with artistic license, the play immediately included race, incest, and homosexual behavior. Why?

The food was delicious and included prime rib, grilled vegetables, meat and cheese wraps, a cheese tray with probably 10 varieties of cheese and accompaniments, bread, crudité, and some sweets. There were drinks of all kinds and some lighter fare offered in the concession area also. Unlike most theaters, the food and drink can be taken into the performance. The show was two hours with an intermission and I brought a soft drink back for the second half. The show was wonderfully acted and well-presented by all technical and back stage staff. The staff and ushers at the theater were very friendly and helpful too. They told me---more than once---that they were grateful for my support of the arts. I'm glad they were there, and hope they remain so for many seasons to come. Bravo, to all!
