The Center For Performing Arts At Rhinebeck

We just saw the play Deathtrap and it was great. The actors were great and the play was funny and suspenseful. I highly recommend plays at The Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck.

Two shows watched here thus far. Jesus Christ Superstar was transcendent! Unconventional casting. Good amplification without being overly loud. Intimate seating with good views from anywhere in the house. The only downside is that there are only three single-occupant bathrooms, so the lines during intermission will be long. Concessions available. Ticketing on-site and on-line. Ample parking out front.

Cast did a great job. Venue is weak and the continuing series of depressing show selections is sad. They used to do lots of upbeat shows but we have stopped going because on a night out, watching a depressing show is not what we like!

Last night my wife and I saw their production of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch". This production exceeded all of our expectations. I have seen dozens of broadway shows, and this production was comparable.

Sean Matthew Whiteford was transcendent as Hedwig and gave the performance his all.

I would highly recommend anyone traveling in the area to check out a production.

Such an impressive place. I’ve seen two shows at the Center and both have been true to the Broadway experience. I very much look forward to seeing 42nd Street next.

What an AMAZING performance done by an EXTREMELY GIFTED Cast in a beautiful intimate impressive venue! Their Musical "Ghost" was beyond my expectations...I laughed, I cried, I was angry and in love with love.... I doubt Broadway could have done it better!!!

The venue is very nice, easy to get to and the show was wonderful. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that I had difficulty with the seats being low for me which made it somewhat uncomfortable. Otherwise there wasn't a bad seat in the house.

I love seeing shows here! For a local community theater, they always have amazing talent on stage.

Nice venue. Box office ticket window. Located outside of the "town" (stores, restaurants). We saw a puppet show. There was a snack bar set up when we went, with light bagged chips, crackers, fruit snacks as well as water and coffee/tea. Definitely be back for more shows!

Ourselves, and another couple went to see the comedy routines last Friday night. We didn't know what to expect; because a lot of stand up Comedians tend to be vulgar, mock the audience, and are not very funny. Which is why we haven't been to one in a very long time.
The place maybe in the wilderness but, it's an amazing venue and very comfortable inside. The seats are staggered well enough so you can see over anyone's head, and you're not very far from the stage.
It was a little over two hours with a short intermission in the middle of several comedian's routines.

God bless this sacred place, the wonderful productions they put on, and the culture and invaluable arts education they bring to the Hudson Valley for individuals and families alike to learn and grow together.

I've never been one to really enjoy the theater, but take this place with a grain of salt. Even though this place is a restored barn, it doesn't smell all that barn-like to me. All the seats are close to the action; you even enter onto the edge of the wooden stage as you proceed from the ticket area to the viewing area. Employees are decent and seem to know what they're doing.

The only problem I have here are the comforts that their seats provide. The seats aren't very comfortable at all. For the cost, you'd expect close to movie theater like conditions with a slight
