(A several block walk over the choke-point of a small bridge.) This was disgusting for a severe storm. I can only imagine what they would have done in an active-shooter situation. Do better!

Ok so I had never heard of this venue before. We had attended a music festival in the beginning of…read moreMay that was held here. We had absolutely no idea what to expect. We had purchased a parking pass as well so we were able to park on the premises. We loved it here! It was the perfect spot to have this music festival! The venue isn't terribly big so it had a intimate feel for what it was. They had an outdoor stage set up and they also have a man indoor theater that they held some acoustic sessions in and the sound quality was wonderful! There was plenty of room for the amount of food trucks and vendors they had set up. Along with some chairs, the sound booth, etc. we are already looking forward to the festival next year which will be held here as well I believe.

Loved the huge beach balls they let us volley throughout the audience. It's great fun to be had for everyone.

It's $35 and assuming you take the time to soak it all in, it will take about an hour. Be patient and watch all the moving pieces and read the placards.

This is such an incredible way to experience Van Gogh's art and I highly recommend it.

Checked out "Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience" from seeing all the promos around the net. It was…read morea unique technological experience. In the late afternoon on Saturday, decided to purchase the basic ticket online for $49.90 and took myself on a solo date to The Tower Theater. The staff had some technical difficulties finding my ticket in their system when I arrived, but eventually they found it. Before you go into the experience, you can grab a drink, which I did. I went for the "The Van Gogh". It was a very light cocktail, and I wasn't expecting much from it. It was interesting to read some of Van Gogh's life and to see his paintings in a moving visual or in a 3D dimensional type of way. Afterwards, you can color one of his paintings with medium sized crayons and/or do the virtual reality (which I did not purchase). I think the price for the weekend was way too expensive for what was offered. The entire experience was decent. Also, was able to find nearby street parking and downloaded the needed app for meter parking.

A family friend recommended the Old Academy Players to me and went so far as to buy two tickets for…read moremy birthday (one for me, the other for a date) to one of their shows. I stopped in this past weekend to see "Murdering Marlowe". I'm no stranger to the arts, but wasn't sure what to expect, especially since I didn't get a chance to read about the play beforehand. I was surprised by the size (or lack thereof) of the Old Academy's auditorium. Their seating area can't handle a huge audience - but is that really a problem? The venue's intimate setting does make performances more personal; it was easy to become absorbed into the characters on stage. In particular, the actor who played Marlowe was a hoot! (Check out their show!) The Old Academy Players is a not-for-profit, largely volunteer-driven, community theater so if you've time to spare, sign up for their mailings and see where you can help!

Went for our first visit to Old Academy Players last night and loved it. We saw Oscar Wilde's…read morefamous "The Importance of Being Earnest" and it was great! They were very hospitable, much moreso than theaters downtown. For example, they offered refreshments during intermission, and a champagne reception after the production for opening night. Other playhouses do similar things, perhaps asking a modest fee for refreshments, etc., but it's normally one or the other (refreshments or reception), not both. It just was a few small touches like that that made us feel welcome, even when a long way from our neck of the woods. Thank you, Old Academy, for a great production, and since your season boasts some heady plays that look like they have some real content and intellect to them, we look forward to going back. Please note, we found no designated parking lot (may have missed it). They are in a residential neighborhood so we found a spot, but on show night these spots are few and far between... had to park a bit far, so be prepared to walk a bit (noting shoe type and foul weather).

I love the recent updates made to the Mann Center. I visited in July to see Death Cab for Cutie…read more Off the bat, the venue has a more "luxurious" feel walking around concessions and other areas. The bathrooms were pretty clean and they had plenty of stalls, so no need to wait in a long line. We had seats on the balcony, and the staff was kind enough to escort us to our seats. The view was solid and the sound quality was great. The balcony seats felt relatively comfortable. Like most venues, drinks and food can be a bit pricy. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my strawberry vodka lemonade. The nachos were a little weird -- carrot does not belong on nachos. The chicken on the nachos was still juicy though. I wouldn't mind coming back for another show here.

You are able to tailgate in the parking area...we brought some wawa hoagies and drinks to consume before going inside. We should've brought some lawn chairs to sit on while tailgating. Highmark is the new owner of the The Mann. They did some sprucing up inside and it looks great! The staff were all very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the show that we went to see. I did not get anything to eat but I got one drink...the large can of Bud Light Seltzer...for $19.80. Definitely the most i've ever paid for one of those. You can bring in with you: one sealed bottle of water or an empty vessel for water. My friend brought ice in her vessel and they didn't even look inside.
