Totally enjoyed a new twist on Hercule Poirot and his quirky persona played by the gifted and talented Stuart Landon. Open Stage of Harrisburg always produces quality theater productions. This was not the first and won't be my last time attending a show or play there. Their creativity soars on every level.

Boy what a difference 8 months makes! Open Stage of Harrisburg, rechristened simply "Open Stage," has reopened its completely renovated and upgraded theater and live entertainment center to include two stages (including a brand new flexible black box theater), a theater school and library, a bar, and much more! Endeavoring to open 300 nights a year, entertainment will run the gamut from cutting edge plays to improv to drag shows to live music and more. Stuart Landon and staff are leading Harrisburg into a new era, the center of an entertainment mecca. Great things to come. Check it out

My husband and I saw A Christmas Carol this past weekend. Seeing this show is our annual tradition and we've seen the show in various cities across the U.S. The take on the show was a little different than others we've seen, but it was still a great show. The theater is one of the smallest we've been in. It's nice and quaint and there's not a bad seat in the house.
Parking in the garage was extremely over priced. We had dinner before the show so we were there a little while...parking was $25...yikes!

I child I know is enrolled in the class. Being a senior student who has NEVER gotten even near a major roll, got one of the smallest roles in the play, while others that ALWAYS get major roles did. This is by fAR one of the most unfair programs ever. They should re assign roles because from what I heard... oshkids sucks.
