It was so well performed and the ending made me tear up. I must mention the set because it was incredible. Everything about the theater is so enjoyable from the lovely lady at the box office, the refreshment staff, the ushers and the actors. I highly recommend a visit to the BRCT.

So, whenever we take a trip somewhere and if time allows I try to find the local theater and catch a play, sometimes two. And, so since our last trip to Blue Ridge did not allow for a show; I decided that this time we would catch one despite our schedule. I went online (BlueRidgeMountains.com), started doing some research and found the Blue Ridge Community Theater. After clicking here clicking there I learned that their next show would be taking place the same time our trip...YAY! The theater is located literally across the street from the Swan Drive-In (which by the way is on our itinerary for our next visit--so keep an eye out for that review) the parking lot is small and was full (much to my surprise) the Saturday we visited. You may have to make our own parking space in the lot, or park on the street, but don't worry about parking on the street it's not like parking in LA, your call will be safe. When you enter the box office is located directly in-front of the main double doors. To the right end of the hall is the snack bar where you can get candy and drinks and to the left you will find the restrooms. I believe staff mentioned that the theater sits 100+/- people, so it's a good size and seating is standard stadium seats and set up. We had tickets in the front row and I had some concerns about the height of the stage. I didn't want to be looking up at the stage and even further up at the actors, but don't worry, the stage is at the same level as the first row so neck kinks will not be an issue. They company did a great job with the set and the overall performance was fantastic. They play we saw "Whose Wives are they Anyway" was hilarious! The actor's comedic timing was on point and my husband and I along with the rest of the audience laughed to no end. Ok, now being from LA the movie capital of the world where everyone is an aspiring actor and aims for physical perfection, I was glad to see actors who A) can act and B) look like normal people. I get tired of the perfect looking man and woman...I don't know about your but I can't relate to them and I like being able to connect with the actors in some sense. So, not only did the Blue Ridge actors know their craft but they are individuals who you can connect with. They are real people unpretentious, polite and eager to meet the audience. They are grateful to be doing what they love and they don't have the LA entitlement complex. We definitely plan on becoming regulars at the theater and look forward to our next show. If you, like my husband and I, like small production plays then I give Blue Ridge Community Theater a try. Oh, and tickets are available on-line and they take credit cards.

Last minute idea for a Sunday Funday option. This little school house is in downtown Cumming and is…read morecertainly a blast from the past. It's a 1920s school turned into a theater, with a majority of the original school intact. I was able to get some last minute tickets for the show, The Producers, literally 2 hours before the play. Cost was not bad at all, $25/person. They offer a VIP experience too, for another $25/person, that comes with heavy hors d'ouevres and non-alcoholic drinks (not offered on Sundays). Parking was not bad. We got there early and ordered drinks from the bar (fairly full bar of offerings). Costs on alcohol were not bad either. It was fun touring the school house and seeing all the old pictures of class photos taken there, and all the frames photos of previous plays put on. Even the school rooms had the window above the doorway. There is also a restaurant in back with some great mural art/paintings on the wall. The theater was fairly large and presented well, with cushy seats and convenient drink holders. My expectations were low and I was very much surprised by the skill level of the cast and how well the show was run. I've never been to Broadway but I've been to the Fox, and this show would equal some of the stuff I've seen there or at other theaters. Very talented cast! The show was also incredible. Overall, this was a wonderful visit. If you live in the area, you'd be crazy not to check out a show here!

The facility is undergoing some renovations at the moment, and those, too, I'm certain are being done with love. If you haven't done so yet, go see a show here. In addition to whatever happens on the stage, I'm confident you'll feel the love that permeates everything and everyone you encounter.

We discovered Desoto theater about ten years ago, and ever since we have been meeting there to watch a show. One of the most memorable ones was "The Cats". We sat on the front row and watched very talented amateurs act and sing. We even saw the facial expressions of the actors. It was awesome! Six months earlier I had seen the same broad way show at The Fox Theater. Then, I paid a lot of money for the tickets. We loved the show, but did not see nearly as much of the details of the performance, as we did at the Desoto Theater. Also in Rome, GA, parking close to the theater was not a hassle! All the performances that we have seen at this theater, have been worth driving from Acworth, Georgia and Gadsden, Alabama. We are looking forward to seeing the next play soon.

The cast was mostly very young, but the hard work was so evident from the production I saw in Cedartown, which was actually the final dress rehearsal that I had been invited to see since I would be out of town for the actual performances. My wife and I enjoyed seeing the show again so much, which we have seen many times professionally and in fact I even played Old Deuteronomy ten years ago! But these kids sang and danced their hearts out, and the set was very simple and yet effective, and the costumes and props were magnificent. I knew many of the performers but did not even recognize many of them until well into the show because of the excellent make-up. This production was surely just as good as many of the others I have seen. Director Don Rusaw once again outdid himself on this third reincarnation of his "Cats"-life ;-) and musical director Donna Hester excelled with the beautiful singing she coaxed forth from these kittens. If you missed this one, be sure to attend and support UTC's next production, to be announced on the Facebook page. Congratulations to all on a rousing success!
