Between the actors knowing when to move to other people and when to gather around.

Absolutely LOVE this place but only receiving 4-stars for the following reasons:…read more First, If you sit back near the SRO (bar area), ALL you hear is people talking and the clinking of glass. Horribly distracting. The WORST place to stand or sit near if you're in the back of the Orchestra (latter rows)! Two, if you sit along the left wall (Orchestra), there is an alcove of sorts closer to the front of the stage. There is a TV in there (WHY, I don't know!), that is left on during performances. If you're in seats along the wall, you 'will' be distracted from the glare of the television light (as I recently was back in Row N!). Lastly, lobby bar prices are INSANE: $38 for a single serving CAN of wine and a single serve bottle of Prosecco. We had just come from a very nice restaurant and paid well less than that for quality!

The theater itself has a big stage. The seats are basic but comfortable. We were able to hear everything pretty clearly and had a good view from the right orchestra. I would be careful about center back orchestra because there's a sound/tech space right in the middle which might be distracting.

I arrived at 11:05a, right middle of Wednesday open and the line was 1hr 15min long. It's a hot day, not much shade, so bring a hat/umbrella/water. 10+ windows so moves faster than the one up at Lincoln Center. Discounted tickets (30-60%) available for same day matinee, evening and next day matinee (varies for shows, so check the app/website/sign). Be nice, though. Lots of people waiting in line, we're all outside waiting and the folks without much grace are going to get a short attitude from those around them. Located under the red stairs. Don't buy resale tickets from the hawkers. Get the ones here at the window. They accept credit card only (no cash anymore).

I kept an eye on my #1 pick so I knew there was a good chance there would be seats available. I had second choice ready just in case.

While the St. Paul's Church National Historic Site (NHS) may not be as popular as other National…read moreParks in the North Atlantic Region (it's hard to compete with the Statue of Liberty!), it's a small but mighty national park site. We wanted to support the national parks given the current cuts happening to the federal government. We booked the 45-minute tour on Recreation.gov (very reasonable $1 fee) and arrived about 15 minutes early. The tour guide was dressed in a colonial outfit and was super knowledgeable about the history of the church and stable house. Some highlights of the tour: * We were allowed to ring the 260-year-old bell. The bell was made by Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London, the same company that made the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. * The church features one of the oldest functioning pipe organs in the entire country. It was crafted by Henry Erben (1800-1884) whose father Peter Erben (1771-1863) was the organist at Trinity Church in Manhattan (where Alexander Hamilton is buried). * Dr. Charles Sabin Taft was a physician who was attending a show at the Ford's Theatre in Washington DC on April 14, 1865. He was a bystander during Abraham Lincoln's assassination and one of the first responders to treat President Lincoln. Dr. Taft is buried in this church's cemetery! * This National Historic Landmark is open during many federal holidays like President's Day, Memorial Day, and Juneteenth and it's a great way for people to learn about history via historical re-enactments and guided tours. Don't forget to collect your National Parks passport stamp! There's also a Junior Rangers program for kids, which is pretty challenging compared to other National Parks sites that we've visited. Ask for the program guide before the tour because some of the questions ask about very specific dates and names of people that come up during the tour.

The visitor's center is also closed and if you need a NPS passport stamp, they will bring it outside for you to stamp after your tour. We came on a Thursday morning and were the only ones that showed up for the tour. We basically had a private talk with the guide about the history of this small, one room church. The building itself dates back to the 1700s and has an organ upstairs from the 1800s. Unfortunately due to covid measures we weren't allowed to go upstairs, however, the guide went up himself to play the organ for us. After the tour you're able to walk the grounds on your own which includes a decently sized cemetery with headstones dating from the 1700s to the early 2000s. It was a great experience and best of all, it was FREE!!! You can either drive here or take the 5 train like we did. The church is about 0.7 miles from the subway station although you do have to walk through some pretty sketchy industrial areas that looked like chop shops...

The movie theater at that time was very quiet, not too many people around. The 11:30 am showing of Challengers was basically empty excluding myself and one other person. Theater was very clean, no sticky floors or anything. I didn't order any concessions at this time. I wish the chairs reclined, but that was my only issue. I actually fell asleep in the movie and thought I slept my way into another showing! (I didn't) Would definitely return, especially to try the concessions.

The theater itself is intimate but I loved that the seats had actual leg room, much more than in some Broadway theaters. It was efficient to get in and out of the theater itself as well as the parking lot. Everything was well run and very organized. There was a line for concessions at intermission but the folks running the stand had things moving right along. Again, the staging, lights, music were all top notch. The production professionals do a great job. Additionally, the cast was amazing. Reading the bios, it's not surprising some of them had performed on larger stages. This is a real gem in the community.

That's because the Curtain Call Theater Complex lies within the golf course. Curtain Call has two indoor theaters and an annual free 'Shakespeare on the Green' summer program. They entertain over 30,000 theater lovers every year. I attended last night's 7:30 performance of The Taming of the Shrew. The gate opened at 6:00, and yes, admission is free, but $20 donations ($10 for seniors) are suggested. After I checked in, I was escorted to the lawn seating in front of the stage. There are a few seating options. If you wanted primo seats, you could bring a blanket or "low chair" right up to the front of the stage. If you want to sit in the next tier of close proximity to the stage in a traditional height lawn chair (behind the blanket crowd), you can reserve a spot for $28, and they'll put a big sign on the lawn with your name on it. If you don't choose to have your spot reserved, you'll set up your chair right behind the reserveds. I didn't reserve and ended up with a great location -center stage in the third row of chairs. I saw a lot of patrons with some pretty fancy food spreads -salads and charcuterie and sandwiches, etc. BYOB is NOT allowed. If you want a freshly made burger or hot dog, a short walk to The Stillery restaurant will get the job done. The Taming of the Shrew is a Shakespeare comedy about courtship, gender roles, and marriage. Curtin Call is a non-profit theater with volunteer actors and staff. The Taming of the Shrew's cast was phenomenal, they all had strong voices and commanding stage presence. In my untrained opinion, I thought Miranda Falk in the role of Biondello stood out. Her comic touch, body language, and mastery of long rapid-fire monologues were outstanding. I thought she deserved a standing ovation after one of her very funny scenes. And in case you're thinking of checking out Curtain Call, you might be intrigued by a December offering called "The Three Scrooges". Imagine Charles Dickens meets Moe, Larry and Curly!!
