点评:We missed our show. No refund. It saddens me to write this review. We have been to the Bucks County Playhouse before. This review isn't about the plays, or actors, but more about location of building and parking nightmare. We live local-ish to the Bucks County playhouse, which is in the center of New Hope on Main Street. Over the years, New Hope has gotten so crowded, that we don't go anymore. That being said, it brings me to the Parking Issue. We arrived an hour early knowing we might run into parking issues. Boy, did we ever. All lots, including the lots on side streets, and spots on streets all up and down were all taken. Nothing was available. The Playhouse parking lot was already so full an hour prior to the show that the cars were almost spilling out into the street. We drove around for an HOUR to look for parking. We were going to park out of new hope and Uber to the Playhouse, but that would not have worked either because the Uber would not have been able to get us there because traffic was so bad. We decided to cut our losses at this point, already being half hour late for show, and just say forget it. It was so frustrating. I highly suggest if Bucks County Playhouse wishes to keep it's customers, perhaps think of purchasing, or renting a parking lot further away and have shuttle buses. Or perhaps New Hope itself would want to look into some sort of "pre paid" parking like they have in downtown Philadelphia. Tickets are non refundable. And we did "plan accordingly".
翻译:我们没能看到演出,也没有得到退款。写下这条评论让我感到很难过。我们以前也去过巴克斯县剧院。这篇评论并非针对剧目或演员,而是主要讨论剧院的地理位置以及糟糕的停车状况。我们住在离巴克斯县剧院不远的地方,剧院位于新霍普镇的主街上。这些年来,新霍普变得越来越拥挤,因此我们也不再去了。话虽如此,这也就引出了我接下来要说的停车问题。我们提前一小时到达,因为知道可能会遇到停车难的问题。结果还真是如此。所有停车场,包括那些小街上的停车场以及沿街的停车位,全都被占满了。一个空位都没有。演出开始前一小时,剧院的停车场就已经挤得满满当当,车辆甚至快溢出到街道上了。我们开车绕了一小时来找停车位。我们原本打算把车停在新霍普镇外,然后打优步去剧院。但那样也行不通,因为交通状况实在太糟糕,Uber根本无法把我们送到那里。此时我们已经迟到半小时了,于是决定放弃,干脆算了。真是令人沮丧至极。我强烈建议,如果巴克斯县剧场希望留住顾客的话,不妨考虑在稍远些的地方购买或租用一个停车场,再安排接驳巴士。或者,新希望镇本身也可以考虑推行类似费城市中心那样的“预付费”停车制度。停车费一旦支付便不可退还。而我们也“据此做好了规划”。
