Just an incredible live theater experience. There not many places in the US left where you can have front row seats for an affordable price to experience some of the best live theater performers in the area! Such a value for the experience that will stay with you forever!
Granted I've not seen every play performed at the Holly but of the ones I have seen I have never seen a bad one. It amazes me the caliber of talent both on stage and off that donate many hours of hard work so others can enjoy reasonably priced live theater. I have just left another fantastic performance .... Smoke On The Mountain. If you happen to be visiting the Dahlonega area during a time when a play is happening give yourself a treat and visit the Holly.
My first introduction to The Holly Theater (location only) was a mandatory viewing of the original Manchurian Candidate in my American History undergrad class at North Georgia College. After that, I had attended several movie showings and live theatre. What a fantastic place! I even had a dinner-and-a-show many moons ago with food catered by the cafe next door. If the Holly is performing something that piques your interest.........GO!
The Holly shows mostly plays and older movies. We saw Steel Magnolias and it was wonderful. It's just a small, older, one screen/stage little movie theater. Just check out what's playing when you're in town. You'll have a good time.
I've only been once to The Mouse Trap, but I was amazed by the local talent. Everyone spoke in British accents, and that's hard to do when you live in Georgia. LOL I was visiting the area, but if I lived there I would definitely attend more often.
This old theater is definitely an antique! It's really fun to see a play or a movie. It's just like walking back in time. Great rainy day standby!
Quaint, throwback to the old days! Love the movies and the live theater as well. It's just off the square and is a local icon.
Done of the best dhows I have seen here. I love that when you walk in you feel just how old the place really is and how they have kept it the same. I have acted on the stage and made many friends here. Pago see a show here and support the arts.
Any event, or play held at the infamous Holly Theatre has been a terrific event. It is one of the landmarks and traditions of the area and without it, the face of the town would surely change. Koodos Dahlonega!
We went to see Smoke on the Mountain at the Holly. For it to be a kid friendly show, the staff sure wasn't kid friendly. They kicked my brother in law and nephew out because they had "several" complaints about my nephew being too loud. He was laughing. He was not loud at all. He was laughing when everyone else. Then at the end they were taking up donations for the building fund. I already paid for a ticket, why should I give them more money? I would not recommend you going to the Holly!
