We came here for the first time tonight with our four-month-old son and our three-year-old daughter. My son sat totally upright in my wife's lap, and his eyes couldn't have been open wider as he watched the puppets. And they made our daughter feel so special; they treated her like a princess when she won the raffle at the end of the show, and they let her (and everyone else) see the puppets backstage. She was so excited that she was jumping! This was such an unexpected delight: it made our night! The people there are so talented and friendly, and we hope to come back again! (Oh, and did I mention the lovely little "enchanted garden"? We will need to explore that more next time!) read more

The family visited the Drawbridge puppet theatre this afternoon. We had passed it a few times and thought it would be a great weekend excursion. The theatre has public performances every Sat and Sun at 11am and 1pm. Each performance has 2 shows and lasts about an hour total. The show encompasses marionettes, hand puppets, and shadow puppets. This month's performances were "The Three Goats Gruff" and "The Frog Prince". Before the show, the host came out and talked to kids about the stories they were going to see and about the types of puppets they would be using. It was a great interactive educational session for the kids. After the show, the host demonstrated some of the puppets used in the show and allowed the audience to tour the backstage area and meet with the puppeteers. Tickets only cost $5 for all ages. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling the theatre or their website (via Paypal). Highly recommended! read more

Took the kids today to see Pinocchio; what a great job the theater does. Watching the kids swept away by the story made my heart ache. The production is so retro, no glam, no screens...just fabric, plywood, and cloth; it's the anti-screen event. We go once a month; it's a very special day for us. read more

This puppet show is awesome! Everything about this place is wonderful for families and kids. You can't beat the ticket prices, AND every performance they have a raffle for the kiddos where they can win a prize from the famous treasure chest. If you don't win a prize, all the kids can pick a small prize from the treasure chest inside the gift shop! All of the puppet shows have a central message that are great lessons for kids to learn. All of the staff is very accommodating to families, especially Mr. Jeff! If you're hungry they have snacks and drinks at a very low cost. If you arrive before the show and have some time or even after, they have an enchanted garden that you can explore. After the show the staff is available to talk to you about the puppets and show the kids how the puppets work. Hands down this place is so fun and I'm sure your kids will love it! read more

Jason was easy to communicate with via phone or email and we quickly had a contract in place. He arrived at the venue and was set up on time.

Besides the strolling entertainment, Jason also performed a 45 minute show. The graduates were enthusiastic and eager to be a part of the show.

My husband and I had a wedding song which isn't really a frequent play, and John was more than willing to accommodate us and play our special song. It really made our night to have it as our wedding song! :) From start to finish, planning was an absolute breeze! John was extremely helpful in suggesting mother/son and father/daughter-in-law music. The mother/son pick turned out to be one of mom's favorite songs!! With only a few generic suggestions from us, the band played an amazing variety of music that suited us and every last guest. People we never expected to see dancing completely rocked the dance floor! I can honestly say that we left that night wondering what kind of party we can have next, just to have a reason to work with Shine Band again!! No DJ will ever compare to a live band, and Shine tops the charts!!! Thank you Shine for making our reception a night we will never forget!

I've been to this IMAX theater many times -- love it -- and may have even written a review. This…read moreis unusual in that I'm reviewing an experience where I *didn't* get to see the movie. I arrived an hour before Dune to be sure to get in line and get a seat. As I was entering, the fire alarm went off and people were ushered out and away from the building. An hour later we were let back in even while the strobe lights were still going off. We were given "updates" (no new info really) periodically and even mildly entertained by a genial staff member who offered some jelly bean trivia. An hour in we were told the movie was being cancelled and we would get free tickets to return. I want to commend the audience for staying chill throughout and as far as I could see not getting upset or outwardly annoyed. Disappointed yes, antagonistic, no. But most of all I want to commend the staff for the way they handled the matter. To a person they were pleasant, calm, apologetic and courteous. They seem to be a well coordinated and cohesive group, which is not something one often sees in movie theaters. Three cheers to the Jordan's Reading IMAX crew! -----Update: I returned later that day and was able to see Dune, which was awesome. There is nothing like this theater, with it's floor to ceiling screen, surroundsound and "buttkickers" (vibrations in your seat when appropriate). There were about 7 tickets of 500 left when I got mine so I was advised to get there an hour early, which I did. There were already about 75 people in line. We were let in about 20 minutes before the show was scheduled to start and I had no trouble getting my preferred seat near the top and center, but I would NOT have wanted to be near the end of the line. I think sitting at the end of a row would take some getting used to but be manageable, but I can't imagine anywhere in the first 5 rows would be enjoyable. Takeaway: get there early people!!

You stand in a line for a bit until they let you in and when you leave they make you walk all the way up and leave that way so beware if you have some mobility issues you may need to have them help you. The theatre is large and comfortable. The screen is giant and the movie was quite the experience. 3d plus butt kickers makes for a real experience. We had a great time
