I attended an eventful night of Shakespeare play with about 25 of my closest friends. Very funny and enjoyed the entire evening. If you give them your mailing address you will definitely be bombarded with way too many flyers and advertisements.

As a Wedding photographer I can tell that this place is just unique. I had a honor to photograph wedding there last year. Totally involve with this place. I can call it peace of art. I suggest everybody to visit this place just to look at it and if youre planing wedding you definitely should look at it as a wedding venue!

We saw the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company perform here. It was an awesome venue for Shakespeare. We lucked out with cool weather and enough breeze to keep the bugs away. The theater company also provides complementary bug spray and sign block if you forget to bring your own.

A fabulous location for outdoor theater! All the plays I have seen were excellent and were enhanced by the exotic atmosphere of the ruins, the woods and the crowd. We enjoy picnicking before the show and the quiet walk back to the parking lot. (You could also ride the shuttle to your car.)

We stumbled upon this historic place by accident. Had no idea it was here. The guide/ docent was a very friendly and knowledgeable teen who shared her knowledge about the place. Very interesting history. Cool architecture. We walked there. A fairly steep hill from Main street was a work out on a hot day. Nice walk if you are up to a big hill.
