“Just sharing a quick review of a new venue for us.
Every town has their local gem whether it be a restaurant or a venue or even a park. We were invited to STARS, a local small dinner-theater in old downtown Bakersfield to see the production of, In The Heights. Think Lin-Manuel Miranda from Hamilton. Wow! They have a newly decorated bar & lounge where the vibe is spot-on 1930s style. The theater itself has various levels w/linen covered dining tables & everyone has a great view of the stage. The dinner: green salad, dinner rolls & nice entrées + yummy desserts. We chose tri-tip & it was very good. The service was exceptional. The production, all local talent, the singing, dancing & the acting …they did NOT disappoint. Some stood out with exceptional talent. Lin-Manuel Miranda would’ve been very proud of this production. The city of Bakersfield should be very proud of this local gem & I’m sure they are. We are definitely returning as the upcoming shows look to be equally delightful & entertaining. Sadly, not many dinner theaters around anymore. The band was so smooth even though you know they’re there, the meshing of the show numbers & the music was seamless. Thank you, Dave and Cyndi for the invite. Nice work!.
