Talent + Seating +…read moreOriginality + Production + Environment + Talent in spades, it never ceases to amaze me how much talent is hidden in this Northern California gem. Seating is cozy, comfy, tiered, and has plenty of accessible seating for the other abled. They do so much with such a small area it's commendable. Originality, not only do they put on some of the best classics, masterfully converted to a smaller setting, but plenty of original ideas as well. Production is fantastic! Lighting, stage, set, even the canned music and audio are fantastic, I did experience some technical difficulties during one showing, but the actors and stagehands handled it gracefully. Environment, the atmosphere is professional yet casual enough that you can enjoy it without feeling you require a black tie. Perfect for dates, as even with the smaller tables in the middle section, they have "candlelight", the lounge is always a great place to be, plenty of snacks, even baked goods, and cocktails to die for. The staff are always pleasant, I couldn't be happier. Update: there was a bit of a fire and they're currently using the historic Cascade Theatre for shows for now. The seating there is a bit outdated but absolutely worth it to enjoy the finest the Axiom has to offer.

Such a wonderful theatre! I am quite surprised that the production and venue is so good. Fair…read morewarning, I am not super knowledgeable when it comes to theatrical productions but maybe my inexperience is a plus? What I do know is that Axiom is a community gem. The environment is intimate and comfortable with a nice space during intermission. Beer, wine, other drinks, and snacks are available. I loved having a little bistro table during the performance to enjoy my wine. I believe you can also rent the bar/dining room area for events. Last time I checked, I heard they also have connections with good caters. Kinda like a plug and play event space - awesome! I love seeing local talent in action!

Short Version Talent +…read moreSeating - Originality - Productions - Environment - Although they have some phenomenal actors, talent only goes so far. The seating is lacking, uncomfortable, and has no real accomodations for the handicapable. Their productions are often ripoff of old 80s films with unclever title and character name changes. Music is canned, audio is hit or miss, lighting leaves a lot to be desired, badly timed changes and intermissions, overall feels almost High School Drama Quality. Not worth admission fees. The environment... It smells reminiscent of old sweaty gym socks, the building design is confusing and inconvenient, the seating area looks almost like it was once a pool or gym or something, the stage is tiny, it feels as if everything about this place is a hand me down after thought that reaks of B.O. As a patron of the arts and retired performer/director, I love supporting local theatre, thankfully there are other options in this town. Sorry the review is negative, I hate writing bad reviews. Hopefully you can use this as constructive criticism and work on it. I always give multiple chances and hopefully I can edit this in the future as a 5 star.

We were very excited to have a studio to be apart of in RB. After one Pee Wee Acro class however, I…read morewould not recommend this studio for you or your child Or anyone. It felt very Exclusive And did not promote positive self image or emotional well being or expression for a child. Instead it reminded me of the bad stereotypes ppl experience in Cheer with exclusivity, shaming, and mean- girl behavior and overzealous cheer moms. For one, instead of showing up as is to have fun and learn there is a mandatory dress code using their branded outfit/uniform (can't buy tights from a store). Which everything is expensive. Then they sell other items like off brand crocks for $86!, branded dance bags ect. Which is outrageous and makes kids without feel like the outsider. The coaches were mean (in my and my child's opinion), strict, and did not teach any new skills or acrobatic technique. They focused on a single dance routine to showcase at end of year. They made demands instead of making your child feel warm, welcome and congratulations for making good efforts in class. Made multiple requests for my daughter to clean her feet in class !? She's 8 and went to class in uniform right after school - class started at 5:30. They did not teach the standard 8 count to structure their dance. Kids were frantically looking to the teacher every practice for them to yell out demands of placement and moves to the kids instead of teaching how to listen to que or counts from the music. The amount of makeup they require for Pictures and rehearsal was gross. Children should not feel like beauty and grand presentation requires make up and fake curles. A tone of makeup was mandatory. Picture day ($$) and the end of session recital were not scheduled during regular practice session. Parents had to pay $22 for a ticket to see their kid. Recital week was multiple 4pm-8pm rehearsals. How they made time for dinner IDk. We weren't able to participate in the recital which was supper unfortunate- they completely ignored me when I asked if I could get the recital outfit we paid for to take home, or receive a full or partial refund -which was very Bizarre (yes I read the contract: despite it being in the contract that it was automatically paid for up front as a separate purchase) . All notices and communication was required through a separate app, which wasn't supper easy to navigate or effective when you had specific questions. They were not helpful or provided detailed information. It was like you had be be apart of some exclusive secret club if you wanted to know all the details of pic day, parade, recital, what to bring, uniform requirements. Very difficult to get clear and direct information. Lastly, you Can't wait or watch your kid inside the studio for practice. All the other parents I've spoken to prefer CALIFORNIA DANCE COMPANY in Anderson CA. It's worth the drive if you can do it!

This is the perfect place.

We now do our festival at Anderson Fairgrounds. We started off in Caldwell Park that should give you an idea on how much we have grown over the years. We try to make the festival, fun and enjoyable for all ages, we offer multiple different vendors to check out durning the day. We also have multiple different fire and circus acts that we offer in the evening. A lot of which most have actually reached out to us, wanting to join our festival. We make sure to have all safety protocols for our fire dancers we have multiple volunteers for these acts with different safety measures to put out any accidents that may happen on stage. We take our performers and the public's safety very seriously especially after the Carr fire. We keep our festivals professional and fun for all ages.

The festival offers something for everyone between the entertainers to vendors of great foods and a wide variety of art and unique items. You should come early to stroll the festival, have some food and stay to watch the night performances of fire dancers. It's a great festival. We have sold (been an artistic vendor) for two fire festivals here and each year gets better and better. Everyone should go once to experience a great unique adventure. It's great for families and well worth spending a day having fun.

At this location a matinee showing is only $8.00 while in Redding the cheapest ticket for a matinee movie is $11.50 and the prices go up substantially from there depending on if you want the surround sound or the fancy reclining seat. This theatre here is simple and old school. And absolutely perfect for me and my families budget. Trust me, the buttered popcorn is just as delicious!!

Five stars isn't high enough…read more I went to the Pageant Theater and even before I walked in, I noticed this place is on a killer block: a movie theater, vintage clothing store, hair salon and coffee shop all in a row. It's the perfect brick and mortar/ walkable town experience. When I went in, I felt like I was in a different era. The building itself has so much character and such a unique layout, I felt like I was Travis Bickle from taxi driver in that scene where he gets off his shift and goes to a movie theater after (but in a wholesome way of course). It's so assuring to know that places like this are still out there. If you're a Chico local or just blowing through the town, be sure to make a stop here because you definitely won't regret it. Can't wait to go back.

Their style is both effortless as well as endlessly entertaining, and they seem to be able to play across styles and genres.

Band leader Josh Hegg is also one of the most professional and hard working musicians in town right now. I would not hesitate to book these guys for any event, wedding, party, or engagement.
