Each show has been great! Of course I have my favorites. But essentially you're getting to see Broadway shows in Ridgefield. They have a snack bar where you can get soda and alcoholic beverages. And also munchies. I however use the time to chat with my friends. So after you pass the snack bar, you can enter the theater. The seats are wonderful. Close enough to the stage that you can see everything at once. There is intermission halfway through. Most of us either visit the restrooms or get more refreshments. Once it's over, it's a quick exit to the parking lot. If you chat for more than 15 minutes afterwards, you'll be alone in the parking lot, lol We have season tickets each year. This means we book our seats early. Give them a try, you'll be glad you did.

A lot of drinks you can purchase, I had a local beer from nod hill on tap and it was great. The sound system was clear and just right I could hear every line. The only problem was the play itself very boring, the video highlights were the best part and very well done. There just wasn't any story at all, fortunately only 80 minutes so I got thru it. Would certainly return for a different play.

I previously sent my youngest to Miss Beth's Spotlight program for the Into the Woods play, and…read moreright off the bat, I noticed the woman running the program was frequently using a nicotine pen in front of the kids, albeit quickly through her sleeve, but it was enough for my daughter to ask me about it. When I picked my daughter up, a group of teenagers were using fowl language around the kids with the director, and she made no effort to correct them. I hesitated to leave this review because the spotlight program does not seem affiliated with the community theatre, but the issue seemed pressing because of the young children within the program. My littlest does not want to do Annie Jr. and I believe it is solely because of the chaotic behavior from both the director and many of the older helpers. The atmosphere is not like any programs have seen...

"Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street…read moreChicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street Your typical city involved in a typical daydream Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings" (Grateful Dead) Q: What's a paradigm? A: A typical example or pattern of something. Well, let me set the record straight. There is absolutely NOTHING typical about the New Paradigm Theater Company. To quote some key nuggets from their website, the New Paradigm Theatre Company "promotes social responsibility and fosters creative problem solvers, leaders, and global citizens through theatre arts education and productions with a hybrid professional theatre and community theatre that combines Broadway and film professionals with local students and adults in our productions". They incorporate area youth into their professional quality productions with summer camps, classes, workshops, and placement in their shows alongside experienced theater professionals that appear courtesy of the Actors Equity Association. Talk about high quality mentoring! Some of New Paradigm's past performances have included The Music Man, Grease, Carousel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Footloose, and The Little Mermaid. Yesterday, we went to the 1:00 matinee of Hairspray at Stratford High School, and it was excellent. The stage production was very clever -since so much of the show's plot revolves around an "American Bandstand" type of a TV show, there was a huge black and white projection of what viewers' TV screens would look like as a background to the live performance. The cast was marvelous. We've seen a fair share of community and youth theater over the years, and it's fair to say there was usually at least or two "weak' performers that couldn't quite carry a tune or deliver a line. Not here. Everyone was stellar, and every singer was a powerhouse. The two Equity performers expectedly stood out, but so did many of the other non-Equity performers and children. The lead roles of Ronnie Rose as Tracy Turnblad and Hunter Smith as Link Larkin were great, but so were Dominic Mantuano as Edna Turnblad, Tiffany T'Zelle as Motormouth Maybelle, Creflo Botweh as Seaweed J. Stubbs, and Allison Mele as Penny Lou Pingleton. I really should have copied and pasted the entire cast list, because everyone was wonderful. Five stars for the production and mission.

I haven't done something like this since I was in the 8th grade and it was So Much Fun to be on the stage again! Director/Music Director Liz Muller has done such an amazing job and it was so awesome to meet her! Keep your eyes on her! She is a total rising star. As are the talented cast and crew! The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a musical comedy with music and lyrics by William Finn, with a book written by Rachel Sheinkin, conceived by Rebecca Feldman with additional material by Jay Reiss. The show centers on a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School. The theater was awesome setup with tables, cabaret style. You can bring in outside food and drink and it was so fun and entertaining all while having dinner. Can't wait for the next show there!

As a vegetarian, I was surprised and happy that they had lots of food options for me to eat. Beans and Rice was my favorite truck! But for my BBQ loving friend- he was VERY disappointed. There was only ONE BBQ truck we could find. And there was a rib eating contest. Other than that, no other BBQ. Which wouldn't have been a big deal if it wasn't in the name of the festival. The live music was great. We didn't know it was on a hill and we didn't bring chairs so unfortunately we had to sit in the grass. I was disappointed there weren't any chairs for rent and as a result had to sit in the grass to enjoy the music. Was not happy with the alcohol selection. Four beers on tap- 2 Fat Tires, a Pilsner and a Voodoo Ranger. Margaritas, Knob Creek and Tito's. Not much of an alcohol selection. All in all, I would probably only come back if I won free tickets again. I ended up spending around $70 for being there for 4 hours.
