I haven't really tried parking at the venue, instead opting to walk half a mile from the nearest Amazon garage (and since I was coming on weekends/ weekdays after hours, it's free!), but there is a paid garage that's pretty close by. Personally haven't really used the concessions stand (and find it expensive like most of these kinds of places), but I did notice they were kind of long :) They also sell merch! to support the Seattle Rep. I've sat in the far back corners (cheaper/est seats) and the show was still enjoyable! In case you wanted to visit but was worried about nosebleeds, the balcony seats really aren't bad at all. I watched The Play That Went Wrong and I have to admit that the balcony/far seats had a much better view of the whole stage and could capture more of the silly side stuff than when I watched it on the ground floor at a closer seat.

I didn't receive any notification about the time change and arrived 10 minutes early to the time listed on my ticket and 20 minutes late to the show. I wasn't ushered in to the performance hall with any sort of direction, there was no acknowledgement of the mixup, I stood (in platform heels) for the entire show in front of a door and with a partially obstructed view, had to leave fairly unceremoniously due to the late show they squeezed in afterwards (presumably to sell more tickets) and to top things off they didn't have sparkling water when I tried to order it after the show, which is less annoying but was the cherry on top. Don't book with them.

A remarkable fact is that it has been planned, organized and run by volunteers from The Seattle World Percussion Society (SWPS) and it is Totally Free! The festival starts on Friday evening (this year 04/13/07) at 7 PM. There are opening ceremonies from 7 - 10PM that will include a sampling of performances by an incredible assortment of percussionists ranging from the near and far East, Africa, Latin America and Cuba. Saturday and Sunday will be filled with workshops on dance, drumming styles, rhythmic variations and a stunning array of percussion instruments, offered by local and world renown teachers. The dance workshops alone are fabulous. You can learn Rumba, Brazillian, Middle Eastern, Cuban, or various styles of African dance. The requisite hippies (reviewer included) will be drumming and dancing our hearts out in small and large drum circles in every possible spot on the Center grounds. Various groups perform in The Center House throughout the day and Saturday night offers a dance party to the live music of some wonderful Afro-Cuban-Latin bands. This is a 'get it on' event of the first order. Sunday offers more of the same, concluding with The Great Northwest Drum Circle, led by the Godfather of Rhythm, Arthur Hull. This is an event that is guaranteed to melt any Seattle Freeze. You will be in a *Certified Freeze Free Zone*. Got a drum or any other percussive instruments? Bring them with you and get involved with this Seattle Only Party and tradition. OOH! I almost forgot. There's a marketplace with some VERY cool instruments for sale. Look for it.

Though it's going to be hard, I'm going to try to write an objective review about this group. A…read morecouple of words come to mind as I think of this group: Community - They are a completely non-profit theater group. The actors, orchestra, and stagehands all are volunteer - yet there is such a love of the craft that they come back again and again for each show. Family - Not only are there numerous whole families that are part of every show, you quickly feel like a member of a huge family when you get involved in a show with these guys. Our mother, of course, being Mary Springer - the mastermind behind Twefth Night. Talent - wow, holy geez, goodness! What a talent power house!! And half the company is either still in high school or just graduated!! I love these kids! Most of them have grown up in this group and their creativity and acting ability that they put into their characters is top notch. As a newbie - I am in awe and humbled by it. You gotta check out these guys sometime!

Having seen the original off-Broadway show at 5th Ave Theatre in 2012 I had to get tickets to see it again when I saw the listing for it in 2017! I had been telling my best friend about it for years and I was finally able to share it with her. We got there just before the show started and it was neat to be in an old school auditorium. The band that played accompaniment to the actors singing was spot on and the sound in the theatre was just right, not deafening, but projected well enough for all to hear. The dance choreography for the show was wonderful and you could tell the actors worked hard rehearsing for the show. Incredible! I will be looking out for future shows this production company puts on!

I am always looking to support the Arts, small businesses, museums, and such - especially now - and this seemed like a good way to do that while also having a fun, unique work-out experience. I have actually had this place on my bucket list for years, so I was super excited to go. My husband and I paid $100 for a 1-hour private aerial silks lesson. We decided on a private lesson partly due to COVID, partly because we were hoping for a class that was at least partly-tailored to us, since it would be just the 2 of us, and partly because I am at one of the least physically-fit points I've been at in my entire life. (My excuses are: a couple of severe medical issues that affected my weight and my energy levels, and my rescue cat who is very needy and loves to cuddle, but he's worth it... but really I just need to get my butt in gear and get fit again.) Despite my low level of physical fitness currently, my minor physical limitations, and my total lack of experience, I was feeling confident that I could adapt or modify anything that I couldn't do, hopefully with the help of the instructor. I didn't even necessarily expect to be able to do every move. What I didn't expect was to be able to do NONE of the moves. None of them. Okay, I'm not THAT lacking in physical fitness... at least, I didn't think I was? I've done many virtual physical fitness classes throughout the pandemic - though yelp, through a few friends of mine who are fitness class instructors and I wanted to support them financially while trying to stay fit, and a handful of other classes, too. For some of these other fitness classes, I wasn't able to do every single move, and I did have to modify some of the suggested moves. However, this is literally the first time in my entire life that I was able to do NONE of the moves. I started feeling frustrated by this. My husband mentioned that it seemed like the instructor, Jen, had no idea what to do when I started feeling frustrated. I certainly didn't receive a single word of encouragement from her, which might have been nice. Although she did suggest corrections, she didn't really suggest modifications or alternate moves for me to try. When I asked her if the private lesson had a set curriculum and was really similar to the intro class, just with only 2 people, or if she was able to adapt to our specific needs and limitations, she got really defensive and insisted that she had given me "another option" for a move. But there were only 4 total moves that she taught us in the entire hour, and it seemed like the "other option" was just the next thing on her list of moves in the pre-set curriculum. My husband also mentioned that Jen seemed ill-equipped to trouble-shoot if one of us was having an issue with any of the moves. He only really had an issue with the last move of the 4 (go, Leo! It was neat to watch him go!!), but the instructor gave him feedback 4 separate times but none of her feedback enabled him to complete the 4th move successfully so she clearly had no clue what the problem was. My poor husband, who is an excellent problem-solver in general, felt badly that HE, as a first-time beginning student, wasn't able to figure out what the problem was - isn't that a big part of the instructor's job, especially for a private lesson? My husband also commented that the instructor's energy was really "flat". I agree with this - she had zero enthusiasm whatsoever, and almost no encouragement. When I was encouraging my husband and cheering him on for the 4th move - by this time I was sitting on my mat letting the lesson be his lesson since I hadn't gotten anywhere on ANY of the 4 moves - she looked over at me and then said a couple of encouraging things to him herself. This was the first time in our entire lesson, with about 5 minutes left to go, that she had said anything encouraging. This seems weird for a fitness instructor, they usually have a pretty infectious energy that is really motivating, and I started out this class super excited to learn this. We sadly would not go back, unless maybe in 5 years when I'm super fit again (it might take that long, LOL), but if we did go back, we would request a different instructor for sure. I will say that our instructor was friendly and welcoming to me when I arrived. My husband was still parking, so I arrived alone for the first few minutes. This reminds me - parking is horrible at this location, and super hard to find. We went today, on a Thursday afternoon. We arrived almost 10 minutes early. By 1 minute until our lesson started, we still had not found a place to park near the studio. Really sad and disappointed. It was nice to watch my husband do 3 of the moves, though. I feel like giving 2 stars really, but their COVID precautions are/were A++ which matters a lot to us since we're super strict ourselves, and the facility was nice.

We played some blues and some jazz standards and it all came out sounding better than you would expect for a bunch of folks who hadn't played together. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in Jazz and performing live music. The studio location is easy to find and well situated in a residential neighborhood with plenty of parking.
