★★★★★Linda ParkerFirst time going to this venue , a live 🎵 featuring Janis Joplin tribute. 👌 Excellent. Superb lead singer and backups were too. Nice theater. Highly recommend 🙂
★★★★★Michael CornellAn amazing production in an warm comfortable and stylish setting. Broadway quality with a hometown feel.
★★★★★Meredith BraceSome friends and I saw the Jane Austin Abridged performance last night and were blown away by the presentation. I encourage all in town who appreciate good theatre to attend. I was only familiar with Austin's Pride and Prejudice, but the way her other works were presented in an abridged form last night got me excited to read more! Thank you ETC, always a great show.
