For smaller venues, I've seen productions in Napa valley, Sacramento's old Town district and others. Two smaller town venues are the Village Theater in Issaquah, Washington which is one of the best, and then there is the Gallery in McMinnville, Oregon. I'm encouraged that there is even a theater in the Willamette area, but alas it's quality of stage, theater design and performances need improvement. I hope that someday some patron of the arts will increase contributions to their efforts, but for now I'll be driving 4 hours to Issaquah's Village theater or wait for performances in downtown Portland.

After waiting in line for about an hour I got to the ticket booth and they said that someone…read moreaccused me of cutting in line. I told them that when I got in line there was nobody behind me, and I didn't cut. He then says that he's going to talk to some people and verify this, which is totally fine. The part that is not fine was his logic of how we went about this. He asked the 2 cars that were right behind me and they both said no, that I didn't cut. Then he proceeds to keep going further down the line and 4 cars back he finally found someone to say yes. So then he kicked me out and told me that I could get back in line if I wanted to. I didn't and I left. What I have a hard time with is that if I did cut someone in line, then the car directly behind me would have known I cut, because they would have been the ones I directly cut. But no, they said I didn't. So then a random car 4 cars back says I did and that's all it took? So I can just wrongfully accuse someone of cutting at the drive in and get people kicked out of line, so I can ensure a better spot. Cool. Awesome. Anyway, I will not be supporting this business.

I caught several shows, a bit of music, and sat and admired all the incredible costumes of the staff / vendors and the other guests. There were archery lessons, a blacksmith with a forge, several vendors with beautiful swords, and so much more! They had a booth with a game for kids to catch "rats" throughout the faire - I didn't catch the details, but the kids were clearly having a ton of fun with this. I arrived shortly before the gates opened and was happy to see plenty of parking, and plenty of staff on hand to direct vehicles (sounds like this is an improvement from last year). I would happily make this drive again, it was very enjoyable.

Fun | Great for all kids…read more My daughter expressed an interest in doing dance this past year, so I thought I'd enroll her in a class here. I was recommended to also join this school from one of our neighbors. If you're looking to enroll your kids, they go by the academic school calendar, so enrollment begins around the time school starts. When schools are off on holidays and snow days, it applies to this dance school as well. It's something to keep in mind. My 6 yr old is enrolled in Miss Megan's Tap-Acro-Jazz Dance once a week. This age range is 5-6yr olds. She's about 4 months in into this class and enjoys it. Parents are not allowed to sit in and watch. However, there are two dates when parents are allowed to sit in and watch how much progress the kids have made since the start of class. It's a popular class, so it seems like a full class. They start off with tap warmups then work into their choreographies and switch to Jazz. They end the hour long class with acro, and this seems to be the favorite part of the class. My daughter tells me she loves acro because she gets to do fun exercises, like walking on a balance block. Everything is safe and appropriate for their age. Miss Megan has the class flowing well and transitions all of the kids onto the page somehow. Sometime in December they do measurements for performance clothing/ costumes in June. I believe it is about $100. Every month, the tuition is $72 paid through their website. For this particular class, kids need to buy jazz shoes, tap shoes, and a leotard or something similar. Communication is great, as Miss Megan sends a monthly newsletter with important events and dates coming up. We're excited to watch the showcase in June. So far, we recommend this activity and this school.

I highly recommend Innovative Dance to parents who are looking for a dance classes for their kids…read more Prior to Innovative, I had no experience with dance studios. I signed my daughter up in second grade, which is pretty young for a structured activity, especially for my then dreamy, imaginative child. Within a few weeks, she was loving it. Eight years later, she had taken most of the classes and levels, including three years of performance company and was ready for a steady stream of high school theater productions and classes at NW Dance Project in PDX. Now that she is in college, she is a teacher and choreographer herself at places like Willowbrook, Musical Theatre camps and dance classes. Campus organizations and professors invite her choreographic input. What's nice about dance is that it is not only a physical outlet but also a musical, theatrical and collaborative experience. Dancing is one of my daughter's greatest joys. I appreciate the whole extended team at Innovative from the past decade. Their collective work makes the world a better place.

My only complaint, if I had one, would be that there's only one screen so only one film shows at a time; I'd love to be able to go here more often if there were more movies playing.
