Both of my daughters have performed in numerous ICE shows and keep wanting to go back for more!…read more Emilie is an outstanding director who encourages the kids to build their own character- allowing them to take risks and expand their skill set. She promotes teamwork, dedication and responsibility.. all tremendous life skills needed on and off stage. ICE has filled a huge gap for our community where other theater programs were lacking- we had tried numerous other programs before and I felt like it was just a money grab. Emilie not only teaches the kids in rehearsals, but works tirelessly to bring subject-matter experts in for workshops (resume building, how to nail an audition, etc.) We are so proud to be part of the ICE family!

Wine & Design in Leesburg, Virginia is such a great spot to tap into your creativity and have fun…read morewhile doing it. They offer a wide variety of classes, so there's always something new to try--everything from chunky scarf and blanket making to paint nights, ornament pours, paint pours, charcuterie boards, and tons of resin projects. No matter your skill level, you'll feel comfortable here. No prior experience is needed at all--they walk you through everything step-by-step and make crafting feel easy and approachable. Plus, there's always wine available for those who are age-appropriate, which makes the experience even more fun and relaxed. The owner is incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly, and she keeps the atmosphere light, upbeat, and enjoyable. You can really tell she loves what she does, and it makes the whole experience that much better. This is a perfect activity for a date night, a girls' night out, or even a solo creative reset. Be sure to check out their website for class options--they're always rotating offerings, so you'll never get bored. I've always had a blast and will definitely be back!

Oatlands is a beautiful house that merges the history of the 18th-century Carter owners and the…read more20th-century Eustises, who donated the house to the public. The house was beautifully decorated at the holidays. The tour guide seemed not to like or want to focus on the history of the house or the objects inside unless asked. It felt like she was bringing a lot of personal biases to her perspective, which made the experience a lot less enjoyable than it could have been otherwise. She took us through the first-floor rooms and then announced the top floor is self-guided only. At the admission price, that detracted from it being a better experience. The National Trust for Historic Preservation is the new manager of the site, and they bring a historical interpretation to the site that some visitors may not find as valuable as the tours given by the previous volunteer staff. There is a garden, a greenhouse, and a nice-sized gift shop. It's a beautiful house, and I did like getting some information on the inhabitants and the long history of the property. The presentation itself needed improvement, but the site was worth preserving.

I wasn't going to rate the Oatlands because we attended the Stage Coach Theater at the Oatlands but…read moreI believe it also deserved to be rated! The road down to the main building was not paved, very long and bumpy. Once you arrive to where you're ready to park there really aren't any signs directing you of where to go so we went up to someone at the big building and asked if we were at the right place to which they confirmed we were. I would suggest a larger sign on the main road stating that the entrance is coming up rather than right at the entrance. There was a very cute store inside which would have been very nice to shop at but there was only one person working the pay line which was also full of people buying drinks and cocktails. I highly suggest at least 2 people working that area in the beginning when people are arriving and definitely at intermission. We would have purchased more if we were able to get in line, purchase our items, and be back in time but we didn't think we would make it back in time. Also, when leaving any event, PLEASE be very careful. There weren't any lights leading away from the building to the parking lot which was pretty scary given that it also was not paved or a sidewalk. It was rocks/dirt and we all had to use our phones to leave. This could be dangerous for others that may have more of a difficult time seeing at night.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL THEATER!…read more Sterling Playmakers production of Godspell was nothing short of amazing and it was a momentous occasion because it was their first production since being shutdown due to the Covid-19 virus. The cast was very diverse In every way; age, race, religion, size, you name it! It was beautiful to see so many different and relatable actors up there, it made my heart so happy, & all the actors were incredibly talented with some real powerhouse voices. WOW! The stage was simplistic and perfect for the performance. The pit band was actually on stage where you could see them play & they did an amazing job as well as lighting and the rest of the crew. Due to the recent surge with the Covid Delta variant everyone was required to be in a mask but I appreciate the safety and concern for others. I was so thrilled to just be a part of this special occasion and wonderful performance! Way to break a leg Sterling Playmakers!

I will definitely be back soon!!!
