As a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop and Black History Month, this was a unique event. There were 2 guest DJ's who spun old school hip hop throughout the event and a DJ who spun a live score throughout the entirety of the film. It was refreshing to see so many people of color come out to this side of town to gather. There was merchandise being sold in the lobby and food trucks such as Presto and Go Yaki in the parking lot. It was convenient for those attending this 3 hour long event. The staff kept things organized and they were kind and welcoming. The facility itself is in need of some renovations and updating. I get that this is a old historical building. I will definitely return for further programming of interest.

I am a member of an organization that, for the past few years, has held its annual holiday party at…read morePrestonwood. We have been very pleased with the outcome for the past two years and have already booked our next event. Although a bit pricey, you get what you pay for -- a large elegant ballroom that holds 150+ guests, a fabulous location in beautiful Cary, great food, a spacious dance floor, and an upscale feel for your affair. We generally provide some of our own customized decor, but the venue itself is lovely even before decorations are hung or added. And our event is usually a Christmas brunch. The staff is courteous and professional. They work closely with the org's planning committee to ensure successful implementation of the vision for a magnificent afternoon with family and friends. TIP: If you want to have an event here -- particularly during the holidays, plan many months in advance (we booked 12 months ahead of time for next year's holiday party).

This is probably the nicest theater I've ever been to. I went to a movie that had already been out…read morefor a while so I ended up in a smaller theater. The chairs recline and you can put your feet up. I love that there's so much space between the rows so no one can kick your back. A couple issues I noticed: *The audio quality was terrible in my particular theater; the movie sounded like it was playing on an old boombox from the 80s. *The check in process is very confusing! I bought my ticket online before I left home. I walked in to the theater without anyone even stopping to ask me if I'd purchased a ticket. I figured there'd be a person waiting somewhere to scan my phone. *No one ever came by to close the side doors when the movie started. After half an hour of hearing people walk by, I got up and closed the doors. Not a big deal, I'm just used to other theaters always having someone close the door once the trailers are done playing and I wasn't sure if they were supposed to stay open for some reason. Besides that, I'll definitely be back!

The love seats provide enough privacy where you're not elbow to elbow to other people so it was especially enjoyable for me, a person who does not like going to regular theatres because of that.

I usually don't write reviews, especially negative ones, but I couldn't let this experience slide…read more We enrolled our 7-year-old son in TAP's beginner summer acting camp for just one week. He enjoys performing in school plays, and we wanted him to experience formal theater training in a fun and supportive environment. I understand that not every child can be given a major role, so I had no issue with the small part he was assigned. What surprised me was the repeated feedback we received about him "wiggling," asking questions, and talking during rehearsals. When I met with Ms. Melissa, these behaviors were described as disruptive. He's seven years old. If a 7-year-old moving around, asking questions, and occasionally getting distracted is considered disruptive, then I question whether this program is equipped to work with young children. A beginner camp should be teaching kids, not expecting them to behave like seasoned performers. The most disappointing part was being told that our son could not participate in the final performance because he was "struggling." Rather than helping him succeed, they excluded him from the very experience he signed up for. Based on our experience, TAP seems better suited for children who already fit their definition of "well-behaved" than for energetic, curious kids who need guidance and encouragement. Parents should keep that in mind before enrolling.

Bottom line: The Wake Competition Center campus is pretty impressive. A multi-sport complex that…read moreoffers outside fields as well as centers for gymnastics and volleyball. The main building houses Invisalign Arena that has the nice practice ice rinks facility for the Carolina Hurricanes including its own cafe. Very nice sports center! The Deets: I was made aware through Yelp actually that there was a practice arena for the Carolina Hurricanes in our lil ol' town of Morrisville (complete with its own cafe, another review to come) so I ventured out to see it. The Wake Competition Center is a big sports campus including the Invisalign Arena that houses the ice rinks and cafe, as well as other centers for gymnastics and volleyball that I saw and large fields for outside sports (see their webpage for details on all aspects of this multi-sport complex). Those outside sports fields were packed with people when I went in, as it is mid soccer season. The sports fields were very well kept from what I saw, very nice. I ventured inside Invisalign Arena and saw the ice rinks (one Red and one Black, for the Hurricane team colors). There was a bit of rink action going on while I was there, and not only can you sit in the stands to watch but also there are seats with tables lining the rink like a work area (see pic). This place is a pretty impressive ice sports rink facility and the arena was as packed inside here as the outside fields were, this is a bustling place! There appears to be ample parking but again it was near capacity when I visited on the weekend. I think this sports complex is pretty nice and has a lot to offer for an active sports area like the NC Triangle, I dig it!
