The theatre is small and classic with a little concessions area and nice bathrooms. It's a single-level theatre but the seats are angled well enough that no one's going to block your view of the stage. Really, any seat is a good seat. I attended the inaugural Virginia Cat Festival (day 1) here, with Jackson Galaxy as the keynote speaker. I enjoyed my visit all around and the venue was clearly clean and well-kept. I'd attend another event there in the future.

They perform about six shows September through June, with a mix of plays and musicals in their own comfortable theater. Tickets sell for under $25 a show. Season ticket holders can easily exchange their tickets for another performance if they cannot attend the one they originally purchased. Parking is free in their lot. Concessions of beverages and candy support the theater. Local artists exhibit their work on the walls, which patrons can enjoy before the show and at intermission.

For a small company in a nice but intimate facility this was a fun show with great talent. The director did an outstanding job choosing great talent for the leads ... Mrs. Hasler ... perfect. Good costumes and I liked her 50's hairdos. Lovely Georgia Hester the sexy secretary. She dances well too. The voices of several were terrific especially Wren Beavers and Andrew Christensen. Jeff Nicoloff, his improvisations were terrific. Good comedic acting. Just thinking about it makes me smile. I love theatre and this was a wonderful show right here in Williamsburg. Make time to see this production. Support our local talent. Get a ticket if you can. GO!!!

From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed. Every interaction was positive--from check-in, to the snack bar, to the performers engaging with the audience. Brandon and Hannah were especially great on stage, and they even took time afterward to show the kids magic tricks in the shop, which was a big hit. The theater is small and intimate (around 125 seats), which works in its favor. Even though the show wasn't completely sold out, the audience energy was high and made the experience feel lively and interactive. We were seated toward the back, but audience participation happened throughout the room, and several people from our group were still selected. Our group ranged in age from 5 to 75, and everyone stayed engaged the entire time. The show was family-friendly, upbeat, and fast-paced, with a nice mix of impressive magic and personal stories about the performers and how magic has shaped their lives. Overall, it was a fun, memorable experience for all ages. As locals, we're very glad we went--and we'll definitely be back!

We got to see a barrel being made, a cannon being fired (dry fired), a court session, and lots of buildings and other historical items.

My niece is attending this college and was in this season's first production of Romeo and Juliet (she was the Nurse). The location is easy to find within the campus and is right on Jamestown Rd up the street from the Restoration area. There is plenty of parking available for performances not too far from the entrance. The seats are arranged in typical stadium style but unlike some other college theaters, they were very comfortable to stay in for a 3.5 hour performance. The stage is large enough that you could hear/see everything without too much trouble. There are box seats available for a more private seating. While it isn't an overly large theater, it was still sufficient space for these performances. Ticket prices are very reasonable in comparison to the park. I really recommend supporting these students that work so hard to entertain.

This historical location has the potential to provide many fun nights of local entertainment in Williamsburg. After recently attending an event at this location there are many things that needs to be worked on. The entertainment was wonderful! However, the organization was terrible. No one knew where to go, that you needed beer tickets to obtain beer, or where to go for the bathroom. There was one bathroom to the left of the stage on the hill open for an event where there was 2,000 people! There was an additional bathroom a pretty far distance from the amphitheater towards the front of the park. There weren't any signs to direct you to the park from the parking lot or to show where the VIP area was. Hopefully this location works out the kinks!

My husband and I visited Williamsburg Winery during our Thanksgiving-week holiday and decided to do…read morethe 8-glass wine tasting. From the very first pour, we could tell the tasting was going to be generous and by the time we reached our eighth glass, we were definitely feeling tipsy. LOL We especially appreciated how the Winery has crafted its offerings over decades: from its historic vineyard on the Wessex Hundred estate to its reputation for elegant Virginia wines made with a strong sense of place. They offer reds, whites, dessert wines, and more. Along with our tasting, we did enjoy the charcuterie box. Now i will say that box was not worth the $22 paid. Everything was delicious inside; it was just the portion was tiny. In short, it felt like the perfect holiday outing: relaxing, indulgent, and charming. Also, the decor there was so cute and i loved all the Christmas decorations. We ended up buying five bottles to take home! If you enjoy wine and enjoy laid-back vibes on a winery estate, Williamsburg Winery is definitely worth a stop.
