Hillbarn Theatre

I have heard great things about Hillbarn's productions, haven't been so I cannot comment. However, my review is based on my experience with the Summer Camp Program. Back in January, I emailed Hillbarn and asked about the Summer Camps for kids and what the aftercare costs would be (camp runs to 2pm). The person responsible gave me the camp options and said only to talk to her about this, because she is in charge. Several parents from my daughter's school was interested but we all work full time. She said that they would have the camp aftercare information ready in late Jan/early Feb.  I have emailed her 4 times, left 3 voice messages - all at least 5-10 days apart (so intentionally not badgering), since that time. All I am asking is what the cost would be for aftercare. As a working parent, I feel that this is a reasonable ask. What if it was $500? What if they don't have aftercare?  No response. Not even an email reply saying that they are working out the details, which would be totally fine.  Just no response what so ever!  

The parents, on good faith, all enrolled our children anyways for Summer Camp. However, now we are all still wondering 3 months later, if it was a wise decision as we haven't been given the courtesy of a response back to our inquiry. Tell us there is no aftercare, we will get an alternative. Tell us aftercare is $xxx, so at least we know to budget. Tell us something. But to not response at all is very poor customer service. Even in my voice messages, I have asked if there is someone else to talk to, but no response. I am sure the program is good, but the lack of consideration and responsiveness is rather poor and dismissive. In the end, isn't this a reasonable ask???

I recently saw a production of John & Jen here at the Hillbarn Theatre. I had never been here before and I was pleased with the experience. The theatre is easy to find. The people working were friendly and helpful.

The best part is there wasn't a bad seat in the house. We were in the back row and had no problem seeing all the action on stage. I would gladly come back for another show.

There's something rather special about community theater.
If you didn't know there was a theater in this neck of the woods, well now you do.
I found it while taking a diversion from the Bay Trail one random day, forgot to yelp it until I was planning to check out an upcoming show so I thought I'd share the wealth if this is your thing.

It's been around for several decades.  Charming.
Plus: talented acting, nice folks - worth checking out.
