    I'd heard of the White Plains Performing Arts Center before, but this was my first time seeing a…read moreshow there -- and it definitely won't be my last. The ticket prices were reasonable, and the seating was surprisingly spacious. The seats are wide with lots of legroom, and there's enough space for people to walk by without you having to stand up -- which was a nice change from most theaters. The staff was super helpful, and during intermission, they even let us know we could use the movie theater bathrooms next door to avoid the lines. That kind of hospitality is something you don't usually get in Manhattan theaters. We saw Dreamgirls and it was a fantastic performance. All the singers had incredibly strong voices, the stage design and costumes were beautifully done, and the choreography really brought it all together. My only critique is that at times, the orchestra overpowered the vocals, making it a little hard to understand the lyrics -- and I imagine that might have been tough for some of the older audience members as well. A slight adjustment in sound balance would make a big difference. I went to a Saturday matinee, and while I'm not sure how many shows they do per day, the crowd leaned more toward middle-aged and older folks. Parking was a breeze -- there's a paid garage, and if you park on the fifth floor, you can walk right across the bridge directly into the theater. A few days before the show, I received an email with all the info I needed, including where to park and what to expect. Great communication. Overall, it was an excellent experience and a top-notch production. I'll absolutely be keeping an eye on future performances at this venue.

    I've seen about 5 main stage events and some are great while some are jsut ok. However, a recurring…read moreBAD is the woman who sits in the will call window. This woman is so miserable, it probably hurts her to smile. She's never once said hello to me nor my family; and gets some sort of a power kink by tossing the tickets instead of handing them to us. Please give her some customer service friendliness training. It's funny how the PA literally begs for support and money before every show...but with that woman still being rude to everyone, yall will lose our support soon. Let's hope she doesn't pull this nonsense again at "Finding Neverland" in December.

The staff is open, friendly, understanding and responsive - they really do try to make each class experience a positive one. There's a no frills, compact organization which creates a more causal, safe environment that allows people to explore both individually and as a group to see what acting feels like. The program's teachers are focused and supportive...and students are friendly, nervous and hard-working. There were folks from many different generations which has made it dynamic and interesting. Some of my fellow students are already working as extras or in student films, some are taking class purely as a way to get back their authentic voice after spending years in office environments and there's a few who have the moxy to possibly go onto to do something professionally in the future. Most classes are one night a week late (from 7:30-10:30PM), so you can put as much or as little into it as you want. The church that hosts the program is beautiful and has a big space to roam in. I highly recommend giving one of their programs a try, or attending one of their Open House nights to get a sense of the place.

    My first visit to Curtain Call was really nice. A friend was in "Guys and Dolls" so we got a…read moregroup of people to see the show and I was impressed by the theater, the staff, the performers and the production values. 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!!

Each show has been great! Of course I have my favorites. But essentially you're getting to see Broadway shows in Ridgefield. They have a snack bar where you can get soda and alcoholic beverages. And also munchies. I however use the time to chat with my friends. So after you pass the snack bar, you can enter the theater. The seats are wonderful. Close enough to the stage that you can see everything at once. There is intermission halfway through. Most of us either visit the restrooms or get more refreshments. Once it's over, it's a quick exit to the parking lot. If you chat for more than 15 minutes afterwards, you'll be alone in the parking lot, lol We have season tickets each year. This means we book our seats early. Give them a try, you'll be glad you did.

A lot of drinks you can purchase, I had a local beer from nod hill on tap and it was great. The sound system was clear and just right I could hear every line. The only problem was the play itself very boring, the video highlights were the best part and very well done. There just wasn't any story at all, fortunately only 80 minutes so I got thru it. Would certainly return for a different play.
