Alabama Shakespeare Festival is a world class theatre offering a wide variety of plays ranging from Romeo and Juliet to Steel Magnolias to Winnie the Pooh. Each season offers something for everyone. I have never been disappointed when I have visited. The grounds of the theatre are lovely for a picnic, walk or just someplace peaceful to read a book.

This is the coolest place on planet earth to see a live concert. Cathi the owner has shows in the spring and fall mostly all singer-songwriter types doing a round session with 5 or more entertainers. She limits the number of people, usually 200 sometimes more. Everyone is encouraged to bring a covered dish and share a meal of the finest quality. There are lots of homemade treats, always a ton of fried chicken and deserts of every description. Bring a lawn chair, BYOB, shows usually run 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm but times vary, check the website for the weekend you want to come and write and get your name on the list. They do have rain outs, it is an old farm house and parking is in a meadow. The people are all very friendly, it reminded me of a large family reunion. I combine this with a visit to the Listening Room of Mobile on Saturday night for a weekend of blissful music. Google it "Frog Pond Social Sunday" for all the information you need. This is a short drive from Mobile, 30 minutes if I remember correctly.

Went to Foley, specifically to see the show, and was not disappointed. I had no preconceptions because I had not heard of this before. It was top-rate entertainment from beginning to end. The theater is small but that did not stop them from producing a Vegas-worthy show. Because of the intimacy of the theater, I was most reminded of a cruise ship performance. The lights, the dancers, the musicians, the projections were all coordinated and the show moved briskly from beginning to end. We could reminiscent on our favorite standards and even a little bit of patriotic homage to the country by 'Elvis'. My wife and I both agreed all the named stars were very good, but 'Cher' was eerily convincing. While all of the entertainment is perfectly safe for any age including children, I'm not sure little kids would get much from this show. In summary, I had a blast and in the words of Arnold "I'll be back".
