RAVE Reviews Releases a Guide to the Ultimate Regional Theater Road Trip

EUGENE, Ore., May 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- RAVE Reviews, the innovative site that publishes entertaining rankings based on advanced data-driven analysis, has published a guide of the "Ultimate Regional Theater Road Trip," available at https://www.ravereviews.org/travel/ultimate-regional-theater-road-trip/

Entertainment companies have come a long way in trying to make movie screens seem as real as possible, but they will never be able to capture the authenticity of a traditional theater. Unfortunately, a lot of people have no interest in going to the theater, perhaps inaccurately equating all theatrical experiences with the miserableness of having to dress as a tree in their elementary school play. Whatever the reason, RAVE Reviews wants to change this trend and get people going back to the theaters. To make this simpler, RAVE has mapped out the ultimate road trip highlighting the top theaters and theater festivals across the country.

Aren't all theater festivals essentially the same though? Not even close. Each of the 20 locations RAVE included has its own unique specialties and features that make it worth the trip. San Francisco's International Art Festival, for example, has highlighted work from over 50 countries. Or take the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston which goes beyond just traditional plays, including craft shows, movie screenings, poetry readings, and more. The Utah Shakespeare Festival even takes place in a replica of Shakespeare's iconic Globe Theatre. If you are asking yourself, "to go, or not to go," RAVE strongly recommends that you just go.

"This road trip is both for frequent theater goers and those that have never been," said Hillary Miller, Managing Editor for RAVE Reviews. "We made sure to include a diverse selection of festivals and destinations so that there would be something for everyone. If you think you hate the theater, consider this a challenge. RAVE's theater road trip will change your mind."

In determining which destinations to feature, RAVE compared reviews from sources across the internet and took into account multiple factors such as the festival's mix of classic and contemporary classic plays, the diversity of perspectives included, and the festival's frequency of appearances on similar lists.
