Being my first visit, I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. I recommend taking an evening off and joining the Maplewood Barn family for what will be a worthwhile event for sure!

I remember going out to the barn and seeing Annie as a kid. Now I take my kids, and they really…read morelove the shows. It's so great that I can take a kindergartner to see Macbeth or Beauty and the Beast and it's in a place where it's ok if they get up or need to move around. We never miss a show. My favorite recent show was Raisin in the Sun. If you've never been, try it!

Refused to refund the deposit after their last-minute changes to child masking policy…read more I am very disappointed and disgusted with CPAC. I should not have to argue with a company about returning MY money when a service is not rendered. CPAC changed its child masking policy after the deposit deadline and is now masking all children except toddlers. You can believe what you want about masking children, and private businesses are entitled to whatever discriminatory COVID policies they want. However, as a consumer, I have the right not to do business with companies that do not align with the values I feel are best for my family. I am utterly opposed to children being required to wear masks during physical activity, especially young children. CPAC touts that their staff is 100% vaccinated, and for the last year and a half, they did not mask children under ten. They were socially distanced, isolated in their classrooms, and used hand sanitizer before and after class. There were zero incidents of COVID among the children's classes to my knowledge; if there was, it was not disclosed to the parents. When I enrolled my child, this was the policy, and I was ok with it. Once they made these last-minute policy changes, I withdrew my child. When I requested a refund of my deposit, CPAC refused to refund my money. I was offered credit, which I declined because they have no clear date set to reverse these policies, and I will not be using the credit for any classes in the foreseeable future. I also refused their store credit because why would I waste my money paying a premium for an item I can order online for half the price. I was told that their policy only allows refunds for medical issues, and I expressed that this is a medical issue for me; at that point, they said they disagreed with my opinion. After phone conversations and serval emails back and forth, CPAC refused any concession or accommodation whatsoever. I have been a customer of CPAC since last fall and, I do not appreciate the hostility and condescending tone I have experienced during this disagreement. All of this, over $50, shows how much CPAC really cares about its customers.

I visited a couple of times during the course of the True/False film fest. Cute little theater! Not…read morevery large, but I was able to get into the screenings. The floor is not sloped, so if a very tall person sits in front of you, oh welllll. I will also say, the screening room only has one aisle to get into the seats, and it was a bit tight to squeeze past people if the only seats open were against the wall. I was also surprised that the bar served drinks in real glasses. Definitely saw a few broken wine glasses, which :E Sounds like I am full of nothing but complaints, but it is a nice microcinema and I would visit for a regular screening if I'm ever there not for the fest!

Terrible staff and theatre. Had a very long wait to receive any attention at the register, and when…read moreI finally got someone, they messed up my order. Wouldn't give me a refund either.

Retro theater is going strong…read more This small movie theater is still alive because of the college as they give a great student discount on tickets. If they didn't have that I am not sure it would stay afloat. Here you have to buy directly at the ticket counter or prepaid online, but no assigned seats so you need to go early or you risk not being sat with your group. The screen rooms are not stadium seating so its a slight lower slope. A seat in the back at this place is actually the best. The seats are leather material but do not recline or have any features like adjustable arm rests -- just a comfy chair. The concessions are mid and lack luster so I recommend eating before your film and just enjoy a box of candy and slushy there if you need to. For accessibility it's decent with the accessibility parking on the side. They need automatic doors. The bathroom smelled awful so I just washed my hands and got out.

If you have ever seen the show "Dance mom's" that's exactly what most of the mom's here are like. I do not agree in putting make up or fake hair on 3-4 year olds for pictures or performances and 98% of them do! VERY snotty place! Teaches the girls to start getting into clicks at an early age. I have seen mom's yell at their daughter's for "Not trying their hardest" they are little kids!! It is ridiculous!!!
