ASH
LAWN OPERA IN THE NEWS
According
to The Daily Progress, the opening night of Camelot
was “a lavish production that [was] emotionally and
musically riveting – and the audience responded with a very
enthusiastic standing ovation.” “When stage director Patrick
Hansen and music director and conductor Braden Toan and all
of these young musicians came together to produce a classic
like Camelot , there were bound to be fireworks.”

Here's one wedding where you aren't
expected to bring a gift,” writes Jane Norris of The Daily

The
Paramount Matinee Performances are a hit with our Senior Patrons!
Seniors
up to age 90 have loved our performances so far, enjoying
the comfort of the Paramount and the convenience of matinee
shows. As one patron said, “It was special to have the matinee
option during the daylight hours – it worked well for those
of us who have limited sight.”
