A@A's has a reputation for quality that proceeds them, and for good reason. Everything that Lori et al do here is done with passion and attention to quality, with the enjoyment of patrons always taking the front seat. From their immersive summer camp programs, to the several productions a year they perform in either of their two stages, and everything in between, I've never been disappointed to walk through the portal to this place which seems to take you, briefly, to another world. Thanks for everything you do to support the arts!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jessan! We are so happy that you enjoy your visits and we see you have tickets to Jesus Christ Superstar in June. We can't wait to see you. Quick reminder that doors will open early for all performances for those of you that would like to picnic on the grounds. There's plenty of seating both on the decks and in the picnic area. (Weather permitting!) See you at the show!
A true hidden gem! Great entertainment, beautiful environment! Don’t miss it!
Thank you so much, Ed! We appreciate your review!
The Sunday Matinee "Roast of Santa Claus" was an absolute delight! My wife, friends, and I were seriously entertained—with a capital "E"—by the clever wit and hilarious performances that kept us laughing from start to finish. The cast’s comedic timing was impeccable, and their playful jabs at holiday traditions brought a refreshing twist to the season's festivities. Each skit was infused with warmth and charm, making it the perfect outing for friends and family. We left the theater in high spirits, already looking forward to next year’s show!
