Temple Theatre — Attraction in Sanford

So I don't mean to be a bit of a skeptic. I understand this is for the education programs. I feel the plays could be better and the acting in itself is great. But acting should be many attitudes. Hamlet and Julius Caesar are all time classics. Especially historical truth. I feel to re enact some thing that's safe and friendly is understandable. But then I look at actors that understand and feel raw and brutal talent. I myself have family from the U.K. The actors that come from a struggle are hungry for roles and talent. Tom Hardy for example is a phenomenal actor because he portrays a role so we'll he can be the villan or the good guy. We saw it in his role in peaky blinders, Bane in Batman, and even his iconic role in Taboo. Heath Ledger portrayed one of the best roles as the Joker because he put his mind in the role of a villain. Method acting is important which is why Johnny Depp is a phenomenal actor. Uma therman in kill bill was iconic. Actors of today are not the same actors in the industry. Understand to be a good actor is to understand the role of the person you're playing. I see slight flaws and imperfections in these college actors. Method acting is important on script and off because people have to understand not breaking character. If I want to be the role of blackbeard I need to understand the mind of a swash buckling pirate with historical accuracy. Ofcourse off script I'm going to dress and act as a pirate from that time period in public and on the stage rehearsing (method acting). If I want to be a cowboy from the wild west then Ofcourse I'm going to walk, talk, and even dress like Wild Bill or Jesse James. Method acting practices never breaking character. I feel actors on this stage don't want to be raw and authentic as possible. They just want to be on a TV screen. They're not competitive enough. Charlie hunham understood what it was like to be Jax Teller because he studied how to be a west coast bad boy biker. You understand that actors can break character even when reading the script. You have to be hungry for the role if you wish to have your name on a TV screen or on a big name show. You have to fully understand the mind of someone you're playing. Not trying too hard. But practiceing the role as if it comes natural. I didn't see it in some of these roles. But it wasn't the worst acting. I just think there's always room for...

I purchased 6 tickets 4/20/25 for specific seats on the floor for the Beauty and the Beast show on Mother’s day. We have a limited mobility person and 2 children in our group - thus the seats we chose. The show started at 2:00 pm, we arrived 5 minutes late (2:05), they had already given our seats away! They then offered us seating that was not together and not easily accessible. I paid $180 3 weeks in advance to be sure our party could have accessible seats. Highly disappointed!! If you’re planning on seeing a show here be aware that there is no guarantee you will get what you pay for especially if ‘life’ happens and you end up being a few minutes late to get there. They did give me a refund - at least I got the email stating they did - I haven’t actually seen the credit on...

The Temple Theater has been a wonderful experience my wife and I. We have been attending their fantastic shows for four years. Their performances are always enjoyable, and often leave us laughing for days and singing songs from some of the musicals. Two of the primary reasons for the Temple Theater's success are 1) that the artistic director, Peggy Taphorn, is a very gifted person, and always brings in the most talented actors. & 2) the theater itself offers an intimate environment with excellent acoustics and comfortable seating, as well as the fact that almost every seat offers a wonderful view. In short, treat yourself and your family too a performance at the...
