Our very first attendance at this small venue was great. Not knowing what to expect or where to go,…read morewe were greeted by friendly and helpful staffers. There was a very nice young man (possible UT student) stationed at the underground parking garage who directed us to the entrance to the theater. Upon arrival, we were greeted by personnel at the lobby entrance who directed us towards the ushers, who awaited ticketed patrons at the theater doors. As you enter the actual performance theater, the seating arrangement becomes visually pleasing towards the stage. I found the seating to be quite comfortable and roomy, where people could actually get by, without you having to stand to allow them to past. There's also a concession area for refreshments which is a nice touch, if so desire. This theater brought great pleasure to a wonderful evening.

The first time here for me and my wife. It wasn't difficult to find, and the addition of an…read moreattendant at the parking garage to direct you to the theater from the garage was a very welcomed touch. It's a great size for a small dramatic performance. There are restrooms on both sides and, like all theaters, a concession stand for drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and snacks. The automated ticket readers worked perfectly and it was easy to locate our seats. The seats were comfortable and had just the right amount of space between the rows to avoid having to stand every time someone passed by. The set (for Trouble In Mind) was amazingly realistic and helpful to understanding the play. The talent was outstanding too. However, the on-stage talent projects their voices without technical amplification, making it difficult to hear their lines at times. We were engrossed in the acting so much, that the 2-hours seemed to fly by. Afterwards, there was an informal reception in the lobby with food (because it was Opening Night). A very nice touch. Overall, it was a positive experience, and one that we would repeat.

This was a fun little dinner show, the food was really simple and your typical faire for a dinner…read moreshow in that area. Fried chicken, barbecue, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and their signature creamy vegetable soup. The show itself was fun natured and the cast were fun and energetic as well as funny. Our server, chip, was hilarious himself, and that just added to the front of the experience. At the end, you're going to find yourself wandering through the gift shop, and I'm not going to encourage you or discourage you either way, but it's a great place to meander while you're partner or spouse are in the bathroom.

They did a $5 off on each ticket but any of the coupon books you see in town have a $3 off adult ticket coupon that is good for up to 6 people. The food was good but definitely not anything special. We were served fried chicken and pulled pork which those that ate it said was good. I had a vegetarian meal which you have to request when you get the tickets. They served me a large portion of steamed veggies and a large portion of veggies and rice. I also ate the corn on the cob and mashed potatoes and I had the creamy soup which was very good (but does have a chicken broth in it). The drinks are Coke products or iced tea. One thing to know, they stop serving food when the show starts so make sure you get there at least 30 minutes before so you can get seated and get served. The show was really entertaining! The kids (7, 9, and 12) were mesmerized the entire show. The have an entire pool under the floor which they dive into. You can buy beer and other adult beverages at the bar outside the theater. I also bought the group photo which was 2 pictures for $40. It was expensive but it was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed it!

**I will never return to the Cumberland County Playhouse.**…read more My values do not align with an organization that allows or excuses discriminatory behavior toward individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). I recently spoke with a volunteer to inquire about tickets and show information. Once I mentioned that the individuals attending with me had IDD, the tone of the conversation shifted drastically. I was told that it would be "embarrassing" and "disruptive" to bring them to a mainstage production. The volunteer went on to suggest we instead attend a show in the smaller theater, stating that the handicap seating there was "up against a wall," and that the acoustics were so loud we "wouldn't cause a distraction." This kind of language and treatment is deeply offensive, unacceptable, and discriminatory. No person should be made to feel like an afterthought or a burden simply because they experience the world differently. If this volunteer's attitude reflects the values of the Cumberland County Playhouse, then it is not a place I can support. If it does **not**, I urge leadership to immediately address this issue and **retrain all volunteers** on how to respectfully and inclusively interact with guests of all abilities. People with IDD deserve access to art, culture, and community without being "tucked in a corner" or treated as less-than. ---
