I loved how small the theater is. Not sure how many seats...maybe 100. The stage is a nice size right up to the front row of seats. I could hear everyone talking on the stage. I would come back to see another show. 🤩😍

★★★★Paulette Wilson

This is a good local theater with thought provoking shows that despite being originally created years ago ring true and carry a message for today’s world. They do a great job on the sets , acting is good !

Romance of the Tell Tale Heart. I know this playhouse is light years away from broadway and understandably I went in this show with minimal expectations. I mean, these are people that love the arts so how bad could it be? Well unfortunately, this Playhouse delivered well below that line. So far below that I question how they felt comfortable charging people to attend it. The only saving graces were the wonderful presentation of the Raven by one actor and the intermission. Now I understand that this is just one night and one show but I am hopeful they will do better in the future.

★★★★★Sheila Fox

The cast of this show was so incredibly talented, every one of them could be on Broadway. Their vocals and acting capabilities were right on point and stellar. We belly laughed!

I only found out this place existed only a week ago because of a road sign advertising a production of "Heathers the Musical", which is personally one of my favorite musicals. Like a lot of smaller venues this is a non-profit community theater, so please remember this when setting expectations on a visit. The Location- Exterior: Playcrafters is rather easy to get to being just off the main road. The location has gravel parking on site that surrounds the building largest part of the lot being closer to the back ramp. I personally like the esthetic of the converted barn as it matches the surrounding environment of the town very well. Interior: Ground floor next to the box office is where the bathrooms are located, with the Theater itself on the first floor accessible from the front staircase, or a ramp located towards the back. As you will see in the photo, This is a fairly small theater with 6 rows and only 115 available seats for guests. Seats are not only comfortable, but also all have a fairly good viewing experience for what ever performance you are watching. Performance- Production: The one thing I did notice was that once and a while it seemed that the cast mics would need to get raised a tad mid performance from time to time. I am unsure if this is due to maybe a slight malfunction or possibly the sound engineer having trouble keeping up with the cast. Now this could be for a number of factors and because of the size of the theater and projection from the actors during songs, this wasn't a big deal, but this is why I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars. Cast: Everyone did extremely well overall for this performance. Heathers the musical has some very strong numbers that the Cast knocked out it out of the croquet field. Avery Gallagher (Veronica Sawyer): This was one of the better performances of this character that I have seen. The energy she brought was great. Her performance for "I say no" and "Fight for me" were chilling. Adam Kimmel (J.D): I was fairly impressed for his portrayal of J.D. His vocals were fantastic for "Freeze your Brain" and the insanity that is "Meant to be Yours" Christie Lohr (Heather McNamara): All I have to say is "Lifeboat" was amazing! Conclusion- Overall it is a great local spot to see shows that are wallet friendly and you can feel the love from those that are working on all the aspects. Can't wait to see something else here again!
