Stage Artistry Studios — Attraction in New Bedford

My son has been participating in musical theater since he was 7, he is now 16. He has participated in a couple of different studios and programs but none compare to Stage Artistry Studios. The progress he has made crafting his art these last few years at the studio is incredible. When things closed down because of COVID, Ms. Mary and her team sprung into action, shifting gears to virtual classes and providing more than lessons; they gave my son something to look forward to and hope during a difficult time. The support of the classes has helped my son to build confidence that goes beyond the studio. More importantly, he is learning how to be a good, kind person. These kids are constantly celebrating and lifting each other up. They are happy for each other's success, even if that means they miss out on a part they wanted. I believe a big part of this is due to the example of the staff. Each kid is seen, celebrated, and loved and in return, they love being there, they work hard, and do well. I used to think the yelling and strictness that I saw with other companies were necessary to put out a good product, but that is absolutely not necessary or true. This studio proves that it is not true! Outside of their theater, dance, voice lessons, and voice acting classes, they have amazing tv production/media classes. If you are looking for a safe community where your child can learn, grow, find a creative outlet, be challenged, be uplifted, and be celebrated this is where they belong. I promise this studio is...

My kid isn't going to be on Broadway (without the help of Ticketmaster) and, statistically speaking, yours probably ain't either. So why bother? Musical theatre, when taught by a superb teacher like Ms. Mary, can help kids develop all the critical tools they need to succeed in life: self-confidence; hard work; critical thinking, teamwork; humility; memorization; public speaking and persistence. While your kid happily prances around and excitedly belts out a tune, they'd have no clue that you are secretly developing their skills necessary to excel in all facets of life. If I had to pick one thing that truly sets Ms. Mary apart is her gratitude for her students and parents allowing her to live her dream of teaching theatre to children - it's what drives her to devote everything she's got and makes her genuinely care. A lot of her students look up to Ms. Mary and view her as a role model: how many teachers can you say that about (besides Mr. Kotter or Mr. Cooper)? P.S. The entire SAS team, comprised of Mr. Ian, Ms. Joan and, most importantly, Mr. Oliver, are also fantastic. Highly...

I am very impressed with the individual attention each student receives. My childrens' skills have improved in such a short amount of time. We have taken musical theater classes, as well as, private instruction for auditions. Stage Artistry has age-appropriate expectations so the children have fun, thrive, and gain confidence while learning skills during class time WITHOUT adding extra rehearsals.A company that is considerate of families' schedule. Miss Mary appreciates and delights in my daughter's individual personality and style. The children come out of the building smiling and refreshed. The classes are creative and unique while industry experts teach the important and fun aspects of musical theater. High quality instruction with state-of-art equipment you find in NYC. I received a Holiday card with a personalized letter highlighting MY child's skills, what Miss Mary appreciates about her, and areas that she looked forward to seeing growth. It was...
