I attempted to enroll my daughter in to this I think theater class early this year and just had bad feelings about it from the beginning. When I called for information the person over the phone was very standoffish and short with their answers with my questions. Either way I just thought this is the theater class closest to my home so I still gave it a chance and showed up on the day they told me to.
When we arrived, it was hard to tell who was in charge. I approach the person that was signing and the kids and I told him that it was my first day and that I spoke to someone on the phone about enrolling my daughter. Later I realize that he was the owner. He never introduced himself and barely made eye contact with me when we walked in. He just said fill this out and handed me a clipboard with a paper. After I filled out the information, I gave it back to him and he didn't really tell us what to do next. He had us just kind of stand there while the kids came in. I then asked him should we walk in? And he said oh yes that's fine. He did not explain how his class works. Although I was still hesitant, I still want to head and entered the auditorium. I overheard someone saying that it was an all day class and that the kids needed a lunch. The person over the phone never told me that we were supposed to bring a bag lunch or money for pizza. They also did not tell us that it was an all day class and that it was drop off only, which I'm not comfortable with that's my daughter was only five at the time. Since it was our first day I sat in to the first part of the class and quickly realized that the class was being ran by some of the older kids. It's seem very dysfunctional and unorganized. There was definitely no structure to the class. They called it a warm-up but there was just a lot of yelling and the kids were kind of doing whatever they wanted to. The aid that was helping was just telling the kids to be quiet for almost an hour. My daughter did not feel invited and was not explained what to do. I would think that if someone is interested in enrolling into your class that you would make it a point to make them feel invited so they would want to return and actually sign up but I guess it's not the case at this place. After 2 hours and we decided to just leave because all the kids were yelling and screaming all over each other and the teacher had no control over the class. Overall, it was not a great experience and I will not bring my child back there. I sadly have not looked into another class for my daughter since that one turned me off and was kind of upsetting. She's super outgoing and would have been great for...
Read moreMy daughter had her first experience with Class Act this fall. She was super excited to go to rehearsal each week. I love that each child got to experience being part of the ensemble and also more of a featured role. Communication from Class Act was thorough, and if I had a question, they were quick to answer. The show was great. It felt well rehearsed and the kids felt confident in the material they were presenting. She is excited to take part in the next show....
Read moreGreat experience for our daughter which is all you really want. Hectic during show week but what show week isn't. Would be 5 stars if the ticket buying wasn't so confusing. One show was sold out online but tickets available at the door, other shows you could buy GA tickets for online if you missed the presale for the reserved section, but GA vs reserved sections in such a small theater seems unnecessary and leads...
