Walking around outside was a delight. The theater sits along a lovely. Creek in such beautiful nature. The building was originally a gristmill built in 1840 & it became a theater in 1923. A gentleman took me to upstairs to show me a space with wonderful room showing off some of Hedgerow's green room displaying old photos of theater and it's actors during performances , piano , wooden furniture designed by Wharton Esherick, a beloved and accomplished American craftsman and a one-time set designer for Hedgerow!! He is very special to this area and if you Google him, you'll see how special is to American Folk art. I am honored to see one of my very very favorite theaters and favorite plays SHIRLEY VALENTINE! 2pm show ! It was absolutely such a good time and wonderful performance ! This theater has some amazing actors and great staff! A delightful comedy and 'feel good' play ! One woman show! I really had a wonderful time here. And I can't stop talking about it with friends !!

I have never seen a bad show at PCS. Just yesterday I saw Hamlet. I had read the story but had…read morenever seen a stage production. It was excellent. In September I saw The Drowsy Chaperone. Likewise, I loved this production as well, having seen it on Broadway and a local university's production. So as you can see they are varied in what they chose to present, catering to a variety of tastes. The cost of the tickets are extremely reasonable. For two Hamlet tickets (1 adult, 1 senior citizen) the price was $37.98. There are not many places one can go to see a quality show for about $20.00. I will be paying more attention to what they are offering and going there on a more regular basis.

I can not recommend this studio. While it is great that they accept all students, putting a…read moreteenager that has never danced before on pointe is irresponsible and dangerous. The owner is nice, but absent. The ballet instructor cares more about The Nutcracker than teaching. The jazz and modern teacher states who her favorites are in front of the class. The tap teacher chews gum while dancing (another safety hazard). Imagine trying to get a 3 year old ready for dance and they refuse to wear a leotard and tights because their teacher wears sweats and teaches tap in mismatched socks (only socks, not tap shoes).This is who your kids are looking up to. Irresponsible instructors. With irresponsible instructors comes bullying and cliques. Teenagers should not be "hanging out" with their dance teachers outside of anything dance related. They may win multiple awards at the same competition every year, but that is only because they compete at the lowest level and bring the most dances. Competitions want you to continue to come back so they award you for the money you give them. Do you want your child going to a place where the teachers don't teach? Do you want your child to take ballet and then sit in the corner while they rehearse Nutcracker and competition dances during class (something that is part of Parkside Performing Arts Company, not the studio itself)? Do you want a teacher that plays favorites and bullies students, yet is the designated peer mediator if there is a problem? Do you want your child on pointe, but not get the proper training? There are plenty of other studios in the area.

I also enjoyed that they have the online ability to sell their tickets, as I usually don't have cash on me and I was able to buy it ahead of time. My only issue is that the space between the rows of seats is TIGHT. I understand that allows them to seat more people, but room to move legs is always appreciated.

The Block is the intimate concert venue (read 823 occupancy) inside of Harrah's Chester casino, and…read moremy main draw to make the trip. The good: -The venue was small. Even the back is good (although the front is best). -It was an extremely easy GA experience. I've spent many hours waiting for GA shows in my lifetime, but that wasn't the case. -Drinks were dirt cheap in comparison to other casinos and venues. The vodka club was made with Sky and Absolute (depending on the flavor) and were only $6 a pop. -The sound quality was clear, even from the front row. The band complained it was loud, but I thought it was good. The bad: -The bathroom was located in the casino and a hike. That's unfortunate with drink prices being so low. -The smell. Sometimes it smelled like garbage. Sometimes it smelled like bacon. Sometimes it smelled like incense. It was gross and distracting. All and all, I'd return for the right act.

(I'm picky about my venues.) I would give a 4.5 if I could.. not going for the 5 star mainly Bc I wasn't feeling the beer selection.

I see Paul Klocke every time I go to this studio. It is comforting to see that he is present and available. He is very easy to talk to and often jokes with the students of all ages. It is not uncommon to also see him in a class demonstrating moves. There are pictures of him in the studio on stage dancing, so he is not all talk, he is a real dancer. The waiting room has tv's so you can see your student in one of the 3 studios. The waiting room also has tables, chairs, and retro toys which the students or their younger siblings enjoy. If you are looking for a joyful atmosphere where your little girl can dance, I'd choose this studio.
