Another quality (hilarious) production directed by Autumn Vogel and Lee Scandinaro. Its a nice change of pace to see something that isnt a musical. Hush Up Sweet Charlotte gets an A+.

This place is amazing. They work so hard with kids and put on fabulous plays. The people are so nice and considerate. I would love for my child to go there when they grow up.

Another Meadville gem. Their productions are consistently delightful. Ive gone to support people I know, and Im always surprised by the amount of talent that they put on stage here. Their staff is talented, and Julia blew me away with her performance in Putnam. Check out a show sometime!

A dedicated group of individuals helping to keep a unique piece of our countys culture intact.Please come and enjoy the shows, and do not be afraid of the words local talent. These people are very talented.The only reason that it dropped a star, was because the sound system was a little too loud and there was some distortion that distracted from the performance. It was minor and could be ignored.

We saw A Night of Spiritual Connection. I love the theatre but we were really cramped in our seats w/my knees touching the seat in front of me. (Im 58 & womans medium.) The show was ok...some believable, some not. Fair priced. With some renovations, this could be an absolute community gem!!

The play was excellent . Loved the show. Was dissatisfied with the balcony seats. Paid top dollar for the seats had front row and could only see half the stage when sitting back in chair. Had to lean forward whole show, very uncomfortable. Seats not worth top price.

Generally local performers here. Saw a live performance of Mamma Mia. Small theater. Old building. Use to be the Academy of Music in its day.

As always, another great production at The Academy Theatre began last night - amazingly talented cast, set and costumes that are out of this world, and special effects that will blow you away. Get your tickets for Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” before they’re all gone!

Went to see Jesus Christ Super Star. The show was fantastic. I was impressed by the performance for a small theatre. My only complaint was the smoke they set of prior to the show and during intermission. This was entirely pointless and probably was not good friend anyone breathing it but specifically for people with asthma or other breathing issues. It bothered my Aunt so badly that she was coughing the whole time and had to leave at intermission because she couldnt take it anymore. I really have no clue why they would do that. Its one thing to have the smoke temporarily during the show but why have it constantly going off prior to the show and during intermission?
