“Back in Time”
Apr 2019
This place will always have a special place in my heart. No where else in Cumming can you experience the history of Cumming, GA. The theatre is a little small, but this doesn't effect the quality of the sound or show. I love strolling through the rooms and hallways. My recommendation when visiting this place, bring someone with you who is either from Cumming or went to school here. The pictures and their stories, will make it a night to remember.
“A Trip Back in Time”
Nov 2019
The CUMMING Playhouse offered Varied and Entertaining... Entertainment... BUT, it is also a “Museum”... of the Times “Past”, in Cumming, Georgia!!! Very dramatic and interesting!!! Plan for “extra”... time to slowly go through the Museum, before attending your “Play”!!!

Great shows with professional scenery built by former Rosewater Theatre Owner, G Scott Riley.
Oct 2015 • Friends
Any input from the former Rosewater Theatre Owners is always a great success at this historic former school in Cummimg, now The Cumming Playhouse. This month the scenery was designed, built, and installed by G Scott Riley. His faux stained glass church windows are a masterpiece.
Be sure to ask which Theatre Company is putting on the shows you want to see. There are different companies each show.
I love the ambience in this historic building. Don't miss Octobers Show.

Cumming Playhouse is a MUST See!
We went to the production of "Forever Plaid" at the Cumming Playhouse and were amazed at the professionalism of the production. The cast was outstanding, especially Bradley Renner as Sparky and the production itself was something you'd have expected to see at the Fox or on Broadway- it was that good. The Cumming Playhouse is inside the renovated 1927 elementary school in downtown Cumming and also houses a very nice restaurant called Tam's Backstage on the lower level. The Playhouse is really interesting and has exhibits featuring authentic classrooms of that period, along with many artifacts such as a graduation dress of the 1920s, cheerleaders outfits, everyday items such as composition books from the period and so much more. It's worth a trip on its own.

Productions are Hit or Miss
Dec 2011 • Friends
I guess it's fair to say that this is a little playhouse in a little town, so on that front I have to admire their enthusiasm. I've been here a few times, most recently in December 2011.

I gather than anyone can "rent?" the playhouse for their use, and therefore the entertainment varies a great deal. I've seen some very good acts here, and some not very good. So, it's fair to say that you should know who is performing before going.

Historic Playhouse (100 yr old public school bldg)
Dec 2015 • Family
Went to see Cat's with my 10yr old, it was well done by a group called RISPA .
The cast was predominately youngsters from about 11 to 16 years old. I have seen Cats in London and on Broadway These kids would give them a run for the money. The theater is small, so not a bad seat in the house, plus it has historical value. and the price is a deal, Check them out and enjoy!!!!!

We've enjoyed the theatre each time we've been there
Nov 2014 • Couples
I love the atmosphere of this theatre and the wonderful plays that are performed here. We've seen four and enjoyed each of them. I love seeing all of the displays before it's time for the play to start. I've learned so much more about Cumming's history.

A little gem!
Feb 2015
The performances vary and some are excellent and others are very ... well, not so hot! But for the price and location, we've enjoyed going to the Cumming Playhouse and we've enjoyed most performances very much.

Great Place to see a Show

I've been to the playhouse of couple of time. The venue in a good, intimate place to see a show. The talent of course varies with each show.

Great Theatre
Jul 2014 • Friends
We have a group of friends who try to see every play that's being performed and we are never disappointed. All the seats are great. The actors are super. We have never been disappointed. We always arrive a bit early and visit some of the school house rooms -- no matter how many times you go, you will see something new. This is a real asset to our community.
