I love this place for doing summer productions and also watching shows, it’s a relatively small theatre but it’s very good quality.
Excellent performance of Elf, the Musical. (My wife and I were ushers, so can't evaluate the $$ value of the presentation). Funny show and well designed and directed. Have had exceptionally good experiences in at least 75% of shows I've attended over the past decade. (Prior to that, the percentage would have been closer to 40%)
The setting was delightful and the hosts friendly.
The cast was superb. But the acoustics were atrocious.
I worked in broadcast media, worked with sound; voice and music.
The HillBarn is a great idea...but
their open ceiling...and erratic miking of performers and musicians...was hard to take.
It was a Broadway show...with powerful players...not scaled down in sound to fit a much smaller venue.
Went to see the musical play Elf. It was amazing, so good the whole audience was laughing and clapping along. The actors were great, very entertaining it was like watching a movie. Bravo to the cast and crew 👏
What an amazing show! The 1940's Radio Show was truly delightful. Loved the music and characters. You actually felt like you were inside the radio station as an audience member! So much fun! Lookinf forward to seeing next year's Christmas show!
Me and my wife attended the musical of Carrie and we thought it was Fantastic. Upon arrival you need to wear a mask and show some form of a verification of being vaccinated. With that said the asian gentlemen that was checking our verification was overly aggressive in checking our verification that it made us very uncomfortable. Overall a unbelievable experience but with Covid I get it, but we felt very uncomfortable of being aggressively told to find our vaccination verification. So....have your mask on and have your proof of vaccination available before attending. Whatever performance you attend, it will be amazing.
Love the kids performances, summer camps and after school camps. My daughter has been coming here for 3 years and it's been a great experience. The kids are like family to each other, the adult supervision is more than adequate, they teach discipline and attention, inspire passion, and the performances are strangely really really good. I'm always impressed at how well directed and choreographed everything is. I buy tickets to all the performances, for all the shows they are that good. Heck of a lot better than the quality at her previous Bay area conservatory.
Me and my wife saw Clue tonight. We have both seen a lot of theatre performances widely varying from community to professional and this was without doubt the worst play either of us have ever seen. Paying $60/ticket to subject ourselves to that piece is a laughable waste of time and money. We will never be returning to anything this company produces and if this is any measure of the quality that is standard for them, continuing to find willing audiences will become... challenging.
