Great venue. There's not a bad seat in the house. Attended the Christmas musical production and had a great time! The time and effort put in by the entire cast and production staff was very evident. Highly recommend going.
We have been going to Flat Rock so long that we get 1st or 2nd row seats. We greatly appreciate the very high quality of the plays and professional ability of the actors and musicians. We are lucky to have this wonderful treasure in driving distance.
We love the play house, we have been to many productions over the years, they have all been so enjoyable. It's great we have two theaters now. We're fortunate to have FRP in our town.
My Wife and I attend with a large (47) group for an afternoon performance. The quality of the performance was absolutely wonderful. The venue was comfortable and the overall value for what we paid was absolutely awesome. My only regret is that we live too far to comute for other performances in the future. A must go to place for all.
Saw "Dial M for Murder" and was very impressed with the intimacy of the theater and superb acoustics. Even the event staff were great, from car parking people through box office staff. Will definately add this to my favorite theater list.
Great little production. Playhouse is small, unique and local. Only seats 500 so any seat is a good seat. Highly recommend.
What an amazing and special little theater for this communitymusicals, plays and other events for adults and kids. Top notch performers for such a small venue. We have the family season tickets and our son very much enjoys the plays for his age group.
Their productions range from good to great. We've been season subscribers for more than a decade. There's a lot of local talent and, when they do the big shows, they bring in a lot of young professionals who work hard and successfully to entertain. Lisa K Bryant is a consummate professional who illuminates their venue whether on stage or behind the scenes. Western North Carolina is truly blessed to have Lisa and the Flat Rock Playhouse.
The Dixie Swim Club is an excellent production, well worth seeing. Engaging cast, that feels like your own personal friends from first scene to the last moment. Moving, thought provoking, Real friendship among group of women explored. Be ready to run the full gamut of emotions.
We took our 2 grandchildren to see Annie on Thursday for the 2 PM performance. From what we could see, the production was wonderful. I phrase it that way because our tickets were on the back row , and we had very limited visibility seeing the stage. About midway of the first act, I moved to the elevated bench behind me. From there the view was wonderful. I could see everything. At intermission, one of your staff members approached me and said I had to move back to my seat. She said it was reserved for staff. No one was sitting on the bench, however, I moved back to my seat and stretched my neck around the tall lady in front of me until the play was over. The bench remained empty the entire time. One of the volunteers told me the lady was the "boss lady". I will never return to Flat Rock Theater unless I have tickets up front. It is a shame to pay for tickets when you cannot see the stage. Your "boss lady" is more concerned about her bench staying empty than patrons seeing the show.
The atmosphere was great, the people were lovely and the acting was superb. Situated in beautiful Flat Rock NC, the drive there won't disappoint either. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
A great place to take older children to see what the performers and their job as actors entail. Who knows you might awaken the sleeping future actor just by going and enjoying everything you will see. You might even see somebody you know being a performer and you thought you knew everything about one of your friends! Try it and bring your happy face.
What a fun experience! This is a great little gem, nestled in the trees!
Went to see their Willy Wonka play and it was wonderful! Well rehearsed with all the kids. Very professionally done. Parking here is a bit of a challenge as you have to wait for other ppl to leave before you can leave which a least everyone around us left as quickly as we did. The parking would be a problem if someone in front of you decided to stay and chat and leave you blocked in. It wasnt an issue for us though.
My parents took me here as a kid and I really loved it.
