THE SHOW: The musical "Assassins" was playing up here and my…read moreboyfriend insisted that we go. First off, the show was AMAZING, AMAZING, AH-MAZ-ING! I had never seen Assassins before and thought it was just really great. This is a pretty small theater with only about 8 -10 or so rows of seats. CONCESSIONS: They do have concessions that were pretty cheap and they also said that we could bring in our own. Everyone seemed pretty laid back. SEATING: We bought regular admission seats, but for $5 more, you could get reserved seating. On the night that we went, it wasnt necessary at all....but if you typically run late or just want certain seats, it may be worth your while to reserve. These seats were plastic seats, no arm rests....which is fine for us, actually I prefer that type of seating unless they are newer theater seats. ...We are bigger people, so they old theater seating really is uncomfortable to us. BATHROOM: The bathroom was a single room. It needed a bit of an improvement, but it did the job Overall, I liked this theater and look forward to any shows that may come to it. I would def go again! And the drive is BEAUTIFUL!!!

It's disheartening to get ready for an audition only to realize later that the "casting directors" are the cast. The reused cast members are all clearly very talented, but the advertisement of "open auditions" is false, and I advise hopeful actors outside the predetermined troupe to not waste their time and energy auditioning for Sierra Stages. I think that this establishment might fair well to brand themselves as an "Acting Troupe" rather than advertising open auditions for each production.

I called and the lady that answered the phone "Sharron" was very rude! She stated that maybe it was the tax that was wrong or that the credit card company has a service charge. I stated that you should have charged me what the receipt had been written for while I was present not a different amount later. She then states that this is for .06 cents. I was like is that really the point...NO! The point is that you did not charge what you wrote up the receipt for. I will not shop at this store in future visits!

The Neighborhood Center of the Arts is housed in what I'm guessing is an old hospital. Or a…read moresanitarium. It looks old and crazy, stale and, to use the parlance of fast food, melty. If it had teeth then they'd be about to drop off onto your head. The center has a wing on the far end (I don't know what other parts of the building are used for, but I've heard there's a glass studio). It's upstairs, and you can either take the stairs or the elevator. At the base of the stairs you'll see a series of totemic ceramics. Art lies ahead. The center is an expansive working art studio, as well as an open art gallery. The aim is to provide resources and art classes for adults with developmental disabilities. They work in many different mediums, including paint, photography, ceramics, weaving, computers, and pen and ink. Further information can be found on their website. They have a new exhibit every few months. Hours are 10am to 4pm. Until about 2pm the studio is active, with artists working, milling about, and attending classes. But visitors are free to step in and check out what's going on. Basically, this is my favorite gallery in the world. It's such a positive place, free of pretentions, and the work is great and presented well. The staff is very friendly, and the artists are nice and available to speak about their work. I (and my family) have a whole collection of art from here. Some of my favorite pieces that I own are from here. Once you walk inside, there are a few rooms walling the latest exhibition. Past that you get into the studio areas, where there is also more art to look at. Basically, every room has art on the walls. One time I was browsing some abstract religious icon paintings, and one of the artists came up to me and asked, "Hey, do you want to know what happened yesterday?" I said, "Yes." And he handed me the newspaper. Then walked off. Then I bought a piece of art -- a woodblock with an all-text Volvo advertisement printed on it, and sprawling on top of the text, in various mediums, are words and nonsense. My family and I recently invested in a huge painting, a collaborate effort by a few of the artists. It looks somewhat like a Basquiat. I highly recommend visiting the Neighborhood Center of the Arts. The artists produce amazing work, and it's very accessible, engaging, and enjoyable. The center does a wonderful job at cultivating their talents. A lot of care and hard work goes into the place, and their efforts are rightfully deserving of praise.
