How do you separate and rate the material, the actors, the facilities and front of house? How can…read moreone rating represent all aspects of such a multifaceted endeavor? Well, it helps if everything is top notch. While I'd been to the nearby House on the Rock as a kid, it took many years for Shakespeare to embed himself so deep into my interests that I'd drive ~3 hours into the wilds of Southern Wisconsin just to see a play. In case my preamble didn't show my hand, it was all worth it. That said, there were thunderstorm and tornado warnings as I made my trip. Calling the office informed me that they aren't the type to cancel shows. Wild weather did delay the start (and derailed many a picnic dinner), but the show was held, the complimentary bug spray was used, the seats were wiped down (I brought towels to supplement the paper towels they handed out), and an incredible evening under the bats was had. I saw their Midsummer. It was a revelation. I can't wait to go back next summer for As You Like It (I imagine I'll love it).

We've seen a number of shows here over the years, and all have been excellent! On this trip in…read moreAugust 2022, we saw A Raisin in the Sun and Hamlet. Both had exceptional casts, and I really like the fact that they're including a range of types of works in their season rather than just standard summer theater fare. The big theater is outside, and so weather can impact performances. We had a delay during Hamlet due to lightning and heavy rain, and then they had to cancel before the end for the same reason. We were glad that if that was going to happen it was during Hamlet as we knew that story well...and we can now say we saw a version of Hamlet where only Polonius dies - I mean Ophelia seemed OK when we last saw her... Anyway, just be ready for the weather! The grounds are beautiful too, and you can either bring your own picnic or pre-order one from them. We opted for this one night and it was delicious. I had the chicken, almond goat cheese salad which came with a cup of a bean salad, fruit salad and a brownie. All was fresh and tasty. There are a lot of picnic tables around the grounds. The walk up the hill to the theater is a little steep, and so they do have shuttles for those with mobility challenges. They also have bug spray everywhere if needed. One last note...there are always bats flying around the stage. We find them entertaining and it's interesting to see how the actors have all learned to ignore them.

Set up as it is in the middle of town, you still have access to other local businesses, bars, restaurants, and the best bookstore ever, and there is a common area as well with lots of seating and live music. It's easy to spend the better part of the day here between the art, the entertainment, and the food and drink options, like The Shack, Freddy Valentine's, and the Spring Green General Store. Fun people watching and doggie-watching, too!

Could not have asked for better. Would hire them for future needs in a heartbeat!

There were 7 of us in our group and she spent time with each person individually answering questions and doing thoughtful readings. She never rushed anyone and made sure everyone had the chance to ask what was on their mind. Afterward we were all comparing our readings and talking about how much they resonated. It was such a fun and memorable experience for everyone. I'm really grateful for the time and care she gave our group and would absolutely book with her again. If you're looking for something unique to add to a girls' night or celebration, I highly recommend her.

This is my second time visiting this restaurant and this time I brought my husband…read more We start with a very friendly "hello" from the bartender who was quick to get our drinks out to us while we looked at the very extensive menu. We decided to start with the artichoke dip which was a generous amount and tasted great. The chips were salty but that's what you get for commercial bagged chips. My Bloody Mary was delicious. Thick and full of flavor, just the way I like them. At least really good for anywhere in WI that I have found so far. I had the thin crust hot honey pizza w added black olives and mushrooms. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this pizza. It was just so good! Just the right amount of honey sweetness to offset the salty of the cheese and pepperoni! I could have gorged myself and ate the whole thing, but I did restrain myself fortunately. We had a couple slices reheated in the air fryer for a late snack (we NEVER do this!)", and my husband decided he was also a fan. He had a burger and o'rings that he thought the beef was bland and the o'rings were too greasy. Over all, it was a very nice meal and the whole staff that interacted with us were so very friendly. Everyone kept asking how the food was and made sure we didn't need anything else. We drive over 30 minutes just to get other options than the few local places here that don't offer much. We are going back today to have the pizza again.
