We saw a nice show here. Not a giant production-3 musicians, 4 actors, but it was very entertaining. So glad they used real musicians rather than a soundtrack. The band was great. Super talented individuals. And the actors were talented as well. We had a great time. In December, all the Amana stores close around 5. So you can shop until 5, eat, and either catch their show or go back to the hotel and watch tv. If you choose watching tv you are short-changing yourself. I'm glad we went, and if we go back, this will be on our "must-do" list.
Caught the story and music of the Man in Black, Johnny Cash at the Old Creamery Theatre during the last week of April. Excellent entertainment.
Unfortunately, the play we saw was completely over the top slap stick which we do not especially enjoy. However, the acting was well done, the atmosphere congenial and laid back and a interesting evening.
I booked tickets for the play "The Last Romance" last weekend - it was so bad I left at intermission. What a disappointment. The theater itself was very nice - the actors and singers(there were only 4 total) did well - it was the material that was dead boring.
We saw the play "The Church Basement Ladies". It was a fun presentation, with lots of singing and fun acting. It only involved 3 ladies and 1 gentleman, but they all did there parts well. We laughed and had a great time. If you are touring the Amana's I would strongly recommend that you visit the Theater.
I have been to Old Creamery Theater many times and never been disappointed. The actors and the plays are some of the best in the State. The audience seating is set so there isn't a bad seat in the house. My wife and I make sure we have our tickets at the beginning of each season so we don't miss out, then we plan our day around the shows. This is definitely one of the better places to spend an evening.
our family truly enjoys the plays at the theater. We try to go as often as we can. The price is reasonable and the actors seem accomplished and seem to enjoy doing their performances. The children's theater is great. We feel exposure to live theater is important in this tech oriented culture and the kids love going! I definately recommend a visit to the theater if you plan to be in the area. You can even order tickets ahead of time online and choose your seat.
The Old Creamery Theater is an awesome addition to the Amana Colonies. Children's shows, musicals, drama, etc. There is something for everyone. Next year's lineup looks great. We are so lucky to have this theater so close.
I just recently discovered this gem in Amana Iowa. The three shows I have seen there have all been wonderful and the ticket prices are a steal!
Laughing one minute, teary-eyed the next. The cast was excellent. The Old Creamery Theatre always does a quality job!
