Spotlight Performing Arts Academy

I visited Spotlight to see a play that a friend was in last night. He is involved with the Black and White Theatre Company and they were using Spotlight’s space for the four day run of «The Mousetrap» by Agatha Christie.
The space is cozy, set up with folding chairs facing a single stage, but is nicely arranged, clean and well suited for a small community theater production. «In the daytime» this is a performing arts academy for lessons and the like, but they apparently partnered with Black and White to have space to perform and I am so glad they did!
The negatives are few, but important… finding the location on a pretty busy road in Mint Hill is a bit of a challenge as it is nestled in a building with 2 other businesses and the sign is quite faded. Now that I have been there, I won’t forget it to pull in at the pet supply store with the horse to park around back. The restrooms require a maze of turns from the performance area and felt a little like I needed a trail of breadcrumbs to find my way back! A friend mentioned her wheelchair bound mother would like to attend a performance, but we did not see a wheelchair ramp, though access may be available away from the front steps and we did not inquire about it this trip.
Overall it was a great performance and I love to support community theater when I have the chance and appreciate Spotlight Academy teaming up with Black and White Theater Company for this performance!
