I have attended a few of American Stage's presentations at Demens Landing Park. When the weather is nice this venue is a very nice evening out. The shows themselves are always good quality and there is just something about an evening under the stars. Bring low chairs for comfort then enjoy the food and drink vendors.

Attended the "The Invisible Hand" Jun 18. The performance was very good, and the actors were absolutely superb. However, I rated the evening a three star simply because of the extensive use of profanity. Unfortunately today's society thinks it is necessary to use vulgarity for impact. Why did I attend? My point is that American Stage should have publicized that profanity was used and then I wouldn't have attended. No, don't inform people of the matter, so they attend and that generates more revenue. Coincidentally, all four people of my party of nine that I mentioned the issue agreed with me.

This is an awesome little theatre to see a performance in. All seats, even toward the back offered great views of the stage. As it's smaller, they can't change the stage itself too much between scenes, but Marjorie Prime didn't require too much set change to be interesting.

Saw Fun Home the last play of the season for AST. It's a musical with a contemporary flair. Liked the venue very much. Comfortable seating with decent sight lines from everywhere. Parking wasn't an issue. And the play was well and nicely presented.

I see a performance here at least twice a year. I would love to go more often but my schedule and inclinations don't allow it. Our group of 4 saw Raisin In The Sun and although it was a bit too long for my taste, it was a wonderful production. We usually go on Pay What You Can nights and these are the pre shows before the opening night while they are still working out any kinks but they need to have the live audience reaction to be able to gauge. I wish they would also include a way to get our feedback from these nights - maybe a form that we could drop in a box? Of course we know that you don't have to take suggestions but it possibly could be helpful. For example, I heard quite a few people comment on the length of this particular performance so there could have been a way to contract some of that dialogue without losing the power of the messages. Those nights are also open seating so if you have a group that you'd like to sit with, get there early. Very comfortable theater with good visuals throughout. And you MUST include their annual performance in the park on your calendar (Demens Landing in the spring).

Having just moved to the area, we were looking for a new place to enjoy shows. American Stage delivers and surprises. Each season offers a unique and diverse set of shows with real meaning. Though the space is intimate, they use every inch well and set a creative standard for shows to follow
