We had an amazing evening wathing" Murder at the Orient Express"! My teens as well were impressed by the suspens, the costumes and the music! A great performance, excellent cast!!! So glad to having this experience!!!!
Very nice and clean place with affordable plays and friendly staff. Pretty to walk around too. Plenty of parking but hard to find the exit!! Would be nice to have signs that take you out of the park since you can’t exit from the same gate you go in.
I love this place and i'm sooo thankful for the shows it brings here to our area. The most recent one i saw was Murder on the Orient Express. The set was amazing Broadway quality. I've been to Broadway at the National in DC but their Theatre is very old and rickety in comparison. I love ASF much better 🥰
Everything was wonderful, as live theater should be. Because of the layout there is not a bad seat in the house. The acoustics were very good. The lighting was super and the acting was exceptional! We plan to attend more often in 2025.
It is always a pleasure to watch shows here. The attention to detail is top notch. The professional level of acting is amazing! All things together transports the audience to places beyond imagination.
