Lovely afternoon at The Paramount Theatre where we attended a ballet production of Snow White and…read morethe Seven Dwarves. Our tickets were inexpensive for genuinely good view of the stage in row J. Ushers were friendly and eager to assist everyone who needed help finding their seats. The antique decor, paintings of 17th century ladies & gents, and yellow upholstery all give an authentic live theater experience. There was a strange little wall mounted water fixture (see picture) that I really liked even though I'm not sure what it is practically for. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We expected live instruments and were surprised it was set to prerecorded orchestral music, but the sound quality was great so no worries. My only real complaint is that when we stopped by earlier that afternoon to buy our tickets, the fellow at the window seemed really put out . He answered our questions, but it felt like we were imposing on him. There was no one in line behind us and it's our first time going to a ballet since childhood, so we had some newbie questions. To engage with something like this for the first time is to step outside of our comfort zone, and I wish that the guy helping us had shown a more generous tone in the customer service department. His palpable annoyance very nearly scared us off buying tickets to this show at all.

The best extracurricular I was ever a part of. James Dearing was our conductor. Old Cabell is a beautiful building.

The theatre is downtown in the Old Town Hall building. There is ample parking in the rear. The building was older and seats are foldable chairs, some regulars brought their own personal cushions, but I found our seats to be just fine. They have a small snack bar with sodas , wine and snack items like chips and candy. Ticket prices are very reasonable and a great value. Besides plays they also have live music performances and a really fun Mystery Dinner show on their schedule. Definitely worth checking out if you are near or in the area. Great time had by all. Well done

Performances were magnificent as were the costumes. Casting was spot on. Rutledge and Dickinson were great counterpoints to Adams and Franklin. A very young Jefferson lived up to the role. Our 8 year old granddaughter absolutely loved it and stayed engaged for the entire 3 hour performance. Highly recommend without reservation. (Our granddaughter strongly voted for 5 stars.). Can't wait for the next performance!

She also let us know we could eat and drink in the theater. And let us know about the Intermission pre-ordering which worked great! My snack was waiting for me and I didn't have to wait. The only downside is the small seats, why it's 4 not 5. It was hard to sit for the 2 hour show in the seats. Also they had no recycling for the bottle my beverage came in which was kind of a bummer.

Making the trek from D.C. with a friend to hear Yotam Ottolenghi, a chef and food writer, speak was worth it. Here's why. 1) Space: The music center itself is massive with a hall that holds almost 2,000 people. The space also comes with a few bars and dining areas with a buffet and grab-n-go food. There are an art gallery and classrooms too. The restrooms are clean and spacious. 2) Location: It's very far from the city, but a free parking garage is nearby that connects to the music hall. Additionally, the Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro Station is right there too.

The location is great and connected via walkway to the Metro parking lot (Go to Floor 4 directly for the walkway). Getting out of the parking lot is a bit harder, but not impossible. The bathroom facilities could be updated, but they are also strategically placed all over for intermissions. The photo is from the Promenade Right. Would I come here again? Yes if the event is right. Also, always eat before coming to an event. The food served here is way too expensive.
