Hands down, the Concord Players have put on the BEST community theater shows I have ever seen…read more While they only put on a few shows every season, they are always fantastic. You will forget that you're at a community theater. This year, they are in their 92nd season. The players perform at 51 Walden, a performing arts center shared by the Concord Players, Concord Band, and Concord Orchestra. Last year I saw The Scarlett Pimpernel, and this year I saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Both very funny musicals, of course. I'm always impressed with what this group is able to pull off in terms of the set and scene changes. In both shows, there was a very dynamic set, with moving and changing parts. Very cool. Actors are great. It was a pleasure to see some of the same faces in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels that were in The Scarlett Pimpernel. See a show here! You won't be disappointed!

They mastered the physical comedy and comedic timing to a T, keeping the audience in stitches most of the evening. I cannot imagine a better performance, and the audience reaction suggests others thought the same. We will be going back for more!

I came here for almost 10 years as a child, so granted, my review is reflective of my experience…read more at WCDA from almost 20 years ago (woah! time goes by fast). However, it appears that the studio is still run and owned by Robin. I have the most amazing memories from my time at WCDA, and for that I'm extremely grateful. I remember that the instructors were so kind, the studio itself was beautiful and in a great location, and the recitals were organized and well-produced. I praise WCDA for instilling a sense of positive self-esteem in their students and providing such a sacred space for creative self-expression. I'll never forget the pure joy and excitement I felt on the day prior to our recitals that they hung up the photos of our dance recital costumes we'd be wearing. So many sequins!

I've been involved with Acme Theater since 2007 and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made…read more As an actor, director, patron and volunteer I've found it to be consistent in its ability to be inclusive, nuturing and most importantly, FUN. Their shows have great production value matched only by the enthusiasm of those who support its continued success. I couldn't possibly recommend them highly enough! Come and see what I'm talking about by checking out their latest show running until December 7th, Crimes of the Heart! You will NOT be disappointed!

My husband and I moved to Maynard in 2002. While walking downtown, we saw posters for "The Nerd,"…read morean upcoming comedy being produced at Acme. We both love theater and met doing improv with the UMASS Amherst group Mission: IMPROVable. We were delighted to learn of a theater within walking distance to our new house and bought tickets to see the show. The production was well-paced and hilarious, and we were impressed with the welcoming atmosphere. I became involved with the theater almost immediately, appearing in the 2003 New Works Festival and working backstage for their production of "True West." My husband was also in a production that spring. We have remained involved with Acme ever since. We have both been given the opportunity to expand our skills (him: directing, me: stage managing and producing) and count our Acme "family" as among our closest friends. I can't imagine life in Maynard with Acme Theater.

Context - There's a horror collectible shop in downtown Hudson called "JR's Spooky Shack" - and one Sunday a month (sometimes two) we head over to the theater to watch a mystery screening of a horror film. It's a great time! What makes it even better is the theater we watch it in. It's an old theater but kept up really well; super friendly staff, plenty of concession options, great prices and visually a great looking cinema. I always look forward to head back for the next Spooky Sunday!!

For $40 I thought it would be different. It's a nice sort of community dance school vibe, just not what I was hoping for.

I had the misfortune of sitting in front of two little girls who kept talking the whole time. They were with what appeared to be their grandmothers.. who either spoiled them rotten and wouldn't dare tell them to keep quiet.. or the grandmothers were short of hearing. Who knows. But definitely ruined the experience. Also, there was no live orchestra which was a disappointment. The sets were very simple if not dismal. And the dancing was ok... they tried their best. For the price they were charging ($45 for adults!!!) I expected a lot more overall. Next year I'm heading to the Boston ballet.
