    A quick check of your vaccine card and you are good to go! Last night we enjoyed their Diamond Anniversary review. A fabulous and fast paced performance with over 30 songs performed by their outstanding resident company. The resco is made up of 12 top college performers that you WILL be seeing on Broadway in the future. There are many more performances scheduled for this summer season. So stop in, buy a ticket or a season tick and enjoy lots of great shows this summer. Enjoy cocktails in their garden or air conditioned tavern. It's a great night and fantastic venue to return to live theatre.

    The Forestburgh Playhouse is the hidden gem of the Forestburgh/Monticello area. Celebrating its 75th anniversary of musical theatre and performing arts in 2021, this theatre has stood the test of time in its community. After visiting for the first time, I heard common words spoken such as "I've been coming for 45 years" from some patrons. The theatre is clean and offers a cabaret show with meal and bar service before most musical performances. By the looks of it, the theatre can hold about 200 people -- a room size which offers an intimate experience from any corner of the playhouse. The theatre itself is extremely rustic in nature, resembling a barn interior in its walls and ceiling. The staff are all incredibly passionate about their work and Franklin, the owner, couldn't be more dedicated to the satisfaction of his cast, crew, and customers. After watching the world-premier of the Babes in Arms revival, I would be delighted to make the trek back from NH at any point in the future. This theatre hosts some seriously talented performers with direction from Tony nominated writers. Keep on with the great vibes, FP

    This summer's Children's theatre production "Willy Wonka" was highly enjoyable. Kids and parental units had a great time.

    My husband and I were visiting Shawnee on Delaware, and I was looking for an activity for us to…read moreenjoy that didn't involve hiking! I looked at the Shawnee Playhouse's website, and found that two shows were being offered during the dates that we'd be in Shawnee -- a children's show (no kids with us) and a headline show (The Full Monty). We decided to get tickets for the latter though we were a bit concerned about the "adult content" warnings. We purchased our tickets and selected our balcony seats on-line (for a headline show, $29/each - regular, or $26 for a senior, plus a few dollars for ticketing fees). On the day of the show, we arrived about 30 minutes before the show. The (free) parking lot was already filling up but we found a good spot. We were warmly greeted at the door, and a valet offered to take us to our seats. Some concessions were available, at reasonable prices -- water, candy, etc. We had a wonderful experience at the playhouse. Obviously, this wasn't a professional Broadway performance but we would much prefer a community play as we saw at Shawnee! As a small theater, all audience members have "good seats" and, as noted by my husband, you can actually see the expressions on the actors' faces. It truly felt like a community get-together, with old friends greeting each other at the entrance, and comparing notes about the play on the way out. The quality of the acting/singing was very good, and the show was entertaining. I look forward to returning to the Shawnee Playhouse on our next trip to the Poconos.

    Great seats anywhere. Very entertaining. No lines. The actors were good. I'd go back againread more
