I am 79 and have been a supporter of Little Theatre in Gastonia, N.C., Gaffney SC and Temple Theatre in Sanford. I just saw the Production of OKLAHOMA. I HAVE BEEN TO 7 OTHER THEATRES, AND I CAN SAY WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT THIS WAS THE BEST PRODUCTION THAT I HAVE SEEN .This is PRICED RESONABLE A great Christmas show, The Saunders Homecoming Christmas is the highlight of the season.
We have been season ticket holders since we moved to Sanford 15 years ago. While some shows are better than others, there has never been a year we have been sorry we had tickets. Their season runs September to May with 6 to 8 shows a year. It is amazing what this talented group does with a small stage and a limited budget. They have staged British farces, musicals with large and small casts, comedies, dramas and one person shows. The talent is top notch and the staging very imaginative. The ticket prices are more than reasonable, the seating is comfortable and no seat provides a bad view. We have never had a problem finding parking within a short walk to the theater. They recently expanded their restroom facilities and even have a small concession area at intermission. I highly recommend a night at the Temple Theatre to anyone that enjoys good theater.
This was our first visit to the Temple Theater since we recently moved to the area. The show was "I'll Never Be Hungry Again", a musical spoof of "Gone With the Wind." The show was hilarious, actors were top-notch and we'll definitely put their future shows on our calendar.
This past weekend I got the pleasure of taking my out of town guests to see a show at Temple Theatre, and the show Singin' Cowboys was a great way to spend our Saturday evening. Truthfully, I am not a fan of country music, so was somewhat hesitant, but decided to go because I had heard of Jason Petty's talent. With his talented group, including Carolyn Martin, Jason weaved an entertaining story of the songs from America's West and even learned some fun things about John Wayne. I totally recommend this production, and if you can't see it at our city's beautiful theatre, I know this show is still on tour in 2013.
The temple is a historic theater in downtown Sanford and has been restored to its glory days. They produce wonderful plays and have stand up comedians. I would recommend the temple to anyone that wants to see a good play, they bring in the majority of its talent from New York.
Beautiful theater, excellent production. People were friendly, plenty of comfortable seating. We would travel to Sanford again (3 hour drive) just to see a production at this theater.
Enjoyed a wonderful program and evening of music performed by the "Sweet Potato Band". Two hours of great music by a great group.
I have been to a few shows here and I have always been impressed. If you are looking for something fun to do in Sanford you have to check out Temple Theater! Every show I have ever been to has been outstanding, and I love getting to meet the actors after the show ends. If you love live theater you will definetly enjoy yourself, and if you don't you should still check them out!
North Carolina has a gem in the small town of Sanford North Carolina. The Temple Theater is a old downtown theater that has been remodeled and offers First Class Entertainment. On Mothers Day we attended the musical "Cats". The cast was awesome and the music was fantastic.
We've visited Sanford, NC twice now, and both times have gone to see shows at the Temple Theatre there. Sanford is a small town, but this theatre puts on great shows with professionals from around the country. Earlier this year we saw Smoke on the Mountain with a cast of amazing musicians. This time we went to see a kids' show. What a gem this theatre is! If you're in Sanford, or traveling through, take in a show at the Temple!
