    A cosy black-box theater with good acoustics. Tucked into a mostly industrial area, it's a half mile from Terrapin Beer Co.

    Get season tickets and se!! One of the great things about…read moreAthens-so much talent because of the University and the music culture-and this is a great venue to enjoy both drama and musical theater at a reasonable price. It's an all- volunteer venture, providing lots of opportunities to spend an enjoyable evening watching or participating in the events. It's not a large theater, so all the seats have a good view of the stage. The sound system and lighting are fine. Parking- limited, so go early. Location-just a block or so off a main thoroughfare (Prince Avenue) Behind one of the beautiful old white mansions -but watch for the small sign on Prince -it's easy to miss. There is free (good) coffee (provided by a local favorite, Jittery Jie's coffee) and a tiny concession stand.

    So I've seen a few shows here at Town and Gown and I know a small group of the actors, directors,…read moreand others who help make it what it is. And I have to say, this is probably one of my favorite places in all of Athens. I really like Town and Gown. It's sad that not more college students take the opportunity to go here, and act or direct or just generally have a good time helping or watching the shows. As it is, I know with the tragedy of what happened at the beginning of the summer, the people are tighter than ever, and it has only strengthened their resolve. $5 for sitting anywhere in the theater just can't be beat. The theater is small (and I wish it was bigger) but the fine quality of the acting really just makes this place a treasure for Athens. GO, get involved, and enjoy this place that I hope stays in Athens forever. 5 Stars well earned.

    The Classic Center is an amazing venue for the physical education event that I have attended twice…read more Tons of space, high ceilings and generally good acoustics. There is so much room to move! The staff is a bit inconsistent. Some are friendly and helpful and some aren't They keep the bathrooms quite clean. The parking situation here is not very good. Of you are lucky enough to snag a spot it's good but the lot fills quickly. Overall I would come back to more events here in the future.

    My experience here left a lot to be desired…read more If you are attending a large conference here, please be advised that they DO NOT have sufficient parking for all attendees. You will likely have to take rideshare or find somewhere else far away to park. When I attempted to park upon arriving at the Classic Center, an employee who was stationed outside the parking garage (to let people know it was full) pointed me toward parking for the courthouse a couple blocks away. When I drove over there, a courthouse employee told me that parking there is not allowed unless one has official courthouse business. So not only is their parking area very small, but they do not even give accurate information about where alternate parking can be found. It was incredibly frustrating. I ended up driving around for 30 minutes and finally settling for an expensive lot nearby just so I could get to my conference. Signage within the venue is virtually non-existent and employees are few and far between if you happen to have questions or need assistance. It's like they expect that everyone visiting this place has been many times before and knows the lay of the land, which is decidedly not the case. The sole reason I am giving two stars is because they did not skimp on air conditioning. It was on in full force the entire time I was at my conference, which is beyond necessary given the outdoor temperatures averaging 95 degrees with 80%+ humidity when I was in Athens. I would not have expected the air conditioning situation to go off without a hitch given the remainder of my experience here, but sometimes there are small silver linings.

    Love canopy so much. Great community and fun exercise…read more People of all size and shapes always positive energy

    If you're a beginner aerialist, you'd probably have a fine experience here for the most part…read more However, for more experienced aerialists coming from somewhere else, you're going to be put through the wringer and have to jump through a lot of hoops (pun not intended) that you wouldn't have to jump through at other aerial facilities. That is, unless you already know the staff there. 1) They expect everyone to start with beginner trapeze -- or at least they did for a long time. First, I'm not a beginner. I'm not advanced, mind you, but definitely intermediate. Second, trapeze wasn't my apparatus of choice, and it seems silly to *only* offer beginner trapeze classes. 2) They expect everyone to be able to go to the exact same time slot for whatever class you enroll in indefinitely. EX: If your beginner trapeze class is at 6p on a Monday, well, during the next session when you have to enroll again in Trapeze 2, it's *only* going to be offered at 6p on a Monday. You have to move up with your fellow students in the same class. For someone like me whose schedule changes every few months, that's just not feasible. So, my chances of getting anywhere beyond "beginner" are slim because I can't adhere to their time slot. 3) They really don't like people testing in to more advanced classes. They get really weird about it, and some of the staff have been less than pleasant about it. And they want you to take costly private lessons in order to, "catch up," even though you likely already know a lot of what you need to or could adapt really quickly. 4) Their communication is terrible. EX: one person will say you're okay to come to a certain class, and another person will say you're not allowed. 5) They don't have open practice for anything other than trapeze and pole. How are you supposed to get better at anything when you can't come in to practice what you've learned...? I'm just not a fan. So much so that I drive an hour away to go to aerial classes at a facility that's much more welcoming and accommodating.
