Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center — Attraction in Foxborough

I went to two of my granddaughters dance recital here. I would describe this theatre as small and comfortable to watch the girls dance recital’s. This is a very old original theatre and the front center section has the original wood seats with cloth and padding. Other parts of the theatre have updated seating that was very comfortable and fairly wide unlike some theatres that have smaller crowded seats and feel like your sitting in the next persons lap and I’m not to fond of those theatres. These new and the original seats have arm rests that sort of separates you from the persons next to you and defines your space a little more. The lighting and sound system was very good. At the back of the theater next the entrance they have a snack bar. The climate in the theater was adequate. I like that the center section is not really wide and you don't have people constantly needing to crawl over you. The center section has aisles on each side and most seats are easy to get to without crawling over 25 or 30 people as in large theaters. The side sections are accessed by the two aisles and only have 4 seats wide that are really nice to gain access and not a bunch of people getting in and out...

Went to see Healing Messages from Above with Candace Dalton. First time every going to one of these things and with his birthday (which I found out that night, he shares the same birthday as Candace) and Thanksgivingweekend, I was so hoping I would get a message of some sort. Drove down from New Brunswick, Canada. I knew there was a chance I wouldn't get a reading, but I so wanted to know how he is doing. I could have missed an opportunity when she had asked about a car accident or a single person and a car. I'm not one to shout out things and who knows, maybe it was him... I dunno.. It was interesting to listen to some of her readings on other people, she also kept it entertaining to. If you jave never done something like this and would like to, I would recommend Candace as she keeps it light and sometimes it can even be funny. Hope this helps for the ones who are hesitant on going. By the way, I went...

Beautiful place run by the loveliest people you want to encounter. To the people who thinks this place is anything less than perfect should try and host a show and run a place of this magnitude. Yes there is a smell..but it is the smell of history that they have given us all! Yes the bath rooms are small, but hey..there are bathrooms that are clean, functional and exactly the size needed for this facility. Yes there are cobwebs..did you also see the glitter and stars and confetti? that is what performing arts is all about! If you think that every person who performed has always performed on Broadway..think again..it is places like these that are the life blood that give hope to small companies to perform and present with an even smaller budget. Team Orpheum of Foxboro - You guys are rock stars. Ignore the naysayers and keep up...
