From Poetry to Performance

If you're looking for a little entertainment, you can’t go wrong with a trip to the theater. The Flat Rock Playhouse, which was started by the Vagabond Players in a dilapidated mill, can be described as delightfully vintage and just as pleasing to the eye as can be. The performances here are also professional quality and some of the best you’ll ever see. After unpacking, exploring your new hometown, and getting to know the neighbors, you're going to need a way to unwind. Head down to the Playhouse and sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
