I attended a fantastic networking event here and was very impressed with the potential. There was a gentleman playing live music, there was a spot for you to lay out catered food and a spot for a drink cart. Parking was fantastic as well with so much available parking in a couple lots. I know this space is usually for plays and musicals but this opened my eyes to a much broader use.

They keep making changes/upgrading the theatres and so it keeps getting better and better. They offer movies outside (drive in style), have a few different options as far as theatre and seat style, and all the yummy treats and drinks you could want. They're also nowhere near as expensive as some spots are these days Restrooms are always clean too, which is a big one considering how many people use them daily.

A True Local Gem Worth Supporting!…read more In my quest to support local small businesses, I've driven past Joy Cinema many times while heading down 99W toward Tigard -- always thinking, "I really need to stop in one of these days." Fast forward to the 40th anniversary showing of Back to the Future, and I finally did it! Sure, I could have gone to one of the big movie chains nearby, but I wanted to support a locally owned theater -- and I'm so glad I did. While Joy Cinema doesn't have its own parking lot, there's plenty of parking in the shopping center just behind it. The lobby is small but welcoming, and you'll likely be greeted by the owner himself -- who runs everything from ticket sales to concessions to the movie projector. It truly feels like a one-man show, and that personal touch makes the experience so special. Plus, the prices for both tickets and snacks are refreshingly affordable compared to the big chains. The theater itself has one large screening room, and it's impressive -- spacious, comfy seats, great surround sound, and a large screen that makes for a perfect movie experience. They don't drown you in endless previews, just a couple quick ones before the feature starts. I also appreciate some of the fun movie history and facts they presented prior to the screening. I also appreciated that they have clearly marked spots for wheelchairs in prime viewing areas -- a thoughtful touch that shows care for accessibility. Unfortunately, one rude family arrived late, talking loudly and even letting their kids run around, which disrupted the movie for a bit. The owner handled it as best as anyone could -- even stepping in multiple times to address the situation. It's tough when guests behave poorly, but I really admired how he tried to keep things under control while protecting his business. After the show, the owner greeted us again and asked how we enjoyed the movie -- that kind of personal connection is rare these days. I'll absolutely be back to Joy Cinema. It's a local treasure run by someone who truly cares about movies and the community. If you're in the area and want to enjoy a film while supporting a small business, skip the big chains and check this place out!

Last night we attended their first performance in their new adjunct, The Playhouse, located in the Cedar Hills Crossing Mall, of a short play called "Anybody for Tea?" by C.B Gilford. Done in improve style, the cast was, according the introduction, given scripts and some time with the director before the presentation, but they'd not met each other and had no idea who was in other roles or how it was going to play out. We recognized several of the actors from previous productions, including the play's 'coach,' the always talented, Les Ico. The only down-side was a bench that broke during seating, but the folks looked to be fine and the bench was quickly replaced by chairs. I hope they do more of these smaller productions along with their main stage plays. We'd definitely attend. It was great fun and the Peachwave just down the mall has a non-dairy frozen dessert offering that's pineapple and not vanilla.

For smaller venues, I've seen productions in Napa valley, Sacramento's old Town district and others. Two smaller town venues are the Village Theater in Issaquah, Washington which is one of the best, and then there is the Gallery in McMinnville, Oregon. I'm encouraged that there is even a theater in the Willamette area, but alas it's quality of stage, theater design and performances need improvement. I hope that someday some patron of the arts will increase contributions to their efforts, but for now I'll be driving 4 hours to Issaquah's Village theater or wait for performances in downtown Portland.

Fun | Great for all kids…read more My daughter expressed an interest in doing dance this past year, so I thought I'd enroll her in a class here. I was recommended to also join this school from one of our neighbors. If you're looking to enroll your kids, they go by the academic school calendar, so enrollment begins around the time school starts. When schools are off on holidays and snow days, it applies to this dance school as well. It's something to keep in mind. My 6 yr old is enrolled in Miss Megan's Tap-Acro-Jazz Dance once a week. This age range is 5-6yr olds. She's about 4 months in into this class and enjoys it. Parents are not allowed to sit in and watch. However, there are two dates when parents are allowed to sit in and watch how much progress the kids have made since the start of class. It's a popular class, so it seems like a full class. They start off with tap warmups then work into their choreographies and switch to Jazz. They end the hour long class with acro, and this seems to be the favorite part of the class. My daughter tells me she loves acro because she gets to do fun exercises, like walking on a balance block. Everything is safe and appropriate for their age. Miss Megan has the class flowing well and transitions all of the kids onto the page somehow. Sometime in December they do measurements for performance clothing/ costumes in June. I believe it is about $100. Every month, the tuition is $72 paid through their website. For this particular class, kids need to buy jazz shoes, tap shoes, and a leotard or something similar. Communication is great, as Miss Megan sends a monthly newsletter with important events and dates coming up. We're excited to watch the showcase in June. So far, we recommend this activity and this school.

I highly recommend Innovative Dance to parents who are looking for a dance classes for their kids…read more Prior to Innovative, I had no experience with dance studios. I signed my daughter up in second grade, which is pretty young for a structured activity, especially for my then dreamy, imaginative child. Within a few weeks, she was loving it. Eight years later, she had taken most of the classes and levels, including three years of performance company and was ready for a steady stream of high school theater productions and classes at NW Dance Project in PDX. Now that she is in college, she is a teacher and choreographer herself at places like Willowbrook, Musical Theatre camps and dance classes. Campus organizations and professors invite her choreographic input. What's nice about dance is that it is not only a physical outlet but also a musical, theatrical and collaborative experience. Dancing is one of my daughter's greatest joys. I appreciate the whole extended team at Innovative from the past decade. Their collective work makes the world a better place.
