Sierra Rep's Fallon House Theatre - Columbia, California

Attended Rudolph yesterday with my mother and three children. The theater was very cramped. I’m 5’2 and had no leg room. The seating is not at an incline so all I saw was the people’s heads in front of me and we were in the fourth row.

At intermission this woman came up and began aggressively questioning my daughter, accusing her of taking pictures and demanding that she show her her camera roll. My daughter is 15 years old and has autism. She was scared and did not know how to respond to this woman in her face. We left. My sons went back in with their grandma and my daughter and I walked around because she refused to go back in after being yelled at. My son said that when they returned to their seats the woman came back up to him demanding to see his camera roll which he told her no.

This woman should not be allowed to harass patrons. I will NEVER return there.

Columbia is definitely a historic place. They had gold panning for kids and adults to pan for gold. To experience the gold rush Era. They had stage coaches to take you on a short ride around the small town. The shops and blacksmith area were really interesting to experience. They gave a brief history of how the Chinese were tricked into coming to Columbia to get rich fast but soon found out they were enslaved to making rail roads. Then, they were forced out of Columbia by the white settlers and crammed into a refugee camp. I still sensed a bit of dislike from the white folks who worked there. Especially the white women. When I greeted them, they mumbled hello and really didn't care to help me with anything. The younger girls were friendly and polite and would ask me if I needed any help with anything in the shop. Everyone who worked there dressed as though they were from the gold rush timeline. It was truly a flash of the past. They had restaurants there too, but unfortunately, I didn't get to try them. My overall experience of Columbia Historic Park was nice, and I would recommend anyone to come here to learn about the history and experience what it was like during those times. Regardless of how I was treated, I still enjoyed myself.

We saw Hair last weekend and really loved it. This is an old-style theater that dates back to the Gold Rush so that is also interesting.

Took our grandaughter to see Little Shop of Horrors and we all had a fabulous time! We were right up front. The set was perfect and all the actors were fantastic. The theatre itself is vintage and has comfortable seats although it's a little snug so leave any extra items at home. There's even a balcony across the entire black of thearte. It's attached to the ice cream parlor that was still open when the play was over so it was the perfect ending of a most exciting performance.

Cute venue with a good cast in the Little Shop of Horrors show: some fun, talented actors who are all great singers, as well! Wish we had enough time to stop for ice cream before we left .. looked yummy!

They should open the ice cream parlor longer before the show and have more than one cashier, or allow food in the theater. Been several times and the line was so long and slow we were unable to get ice cream. Had we had time to eat the ice cream before the show we would possibly have waited.
The show was amazing and the ushers were kind and helpful.
