    We saw Private Lives here. Great production, sets and costumes. Seating was pretty cramped though. We didn't sample any of the refreshments.

    Very nice little theater. Plenty of parking. We had a beer before the performance-cute area outside…read morewith pretty gardens. The seats were comfortable. Clean restrooms. Unfortunately, the show we went to was a bit of a snoozer. But, that wouldn't stop me from returning to see something different.

    Located in what appears to be an old barn from the outside is this wonderful little theatre. There…read moreis ample parking alongside the building and in an unpaved lot across the street sufficient to handle a full house performance. This is a small (emphasis on small) theatre with a tiny patio at the front entrance to sit and sip some wine and munch on some baked and other goods that are available for sale in the foyer prior to a performance. The theatre has very comfortable seats, access for the handicapped, and even some seats that are wide enough to accommodate obese patrons. There is not a bad seat in the house. The most distant seats from the stage are still able to hear the actors when they are not amplified by microphones. The front row seats require only a minimal viewing angle upward toward the stage and thus do not strain the patron's neck. The facilities are clean, including the restrooms, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The performance that we attended, "Sherlock Holmes And The Case Of The Jersey Lily," was extremely well staged by the theatre's staff, not to mention the actors. This is not a review of the play or the actors, but I must say, if this is the caliber of a typical presentation, then no performance here should be missed.
