    Historic Theater with great plays
    The Goodspeed has been around since the 1870's, is intimate in size, but each year manages to produce top musical theater. We saw the musical Caberet which was excellent. The acoustics are great and because of the small size of the room, you can see all the expressions of the actors which, in the case of Caberet, really adds to the show. The seating allows a good view of the stage from everywhere so there are really no bad seats. There is a nice separate area for intermissions. Only drawback is the restrooms are fairly limited in size.

    Opera House
    We took a scenic ride up the river for dinner at a restaurant near the Opera House. It’s a beautiful historic building. Sadly, during the 2020 season it’s closed due to the Covid scare. We are looking forward to better days ahead when we will be able to enjoy live performances.
