Archway is a gem in the rough! I've seen two plays here and both were fantastic! While there were…read moremore actors in Cierno de Bergerac than there were audience members, the performance was outstanding! We just saw Six Actors in Search of an Author, and while this was a very complex play, the actors were fabulous! All the actors certainly put in time to give a great show. Can't wait to see the next one.

I've been out in LA for two years and I am happy to have finally found a theater that keeps its…read morefocus on solely the quality of the performances of its actors. The theater itself has a very bare-bones, pure theater feel which I never imagined existed out in tinsel town. I have never been happier to be wrong. Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a performance of Hamlet. The cast was completely solid, lead by Christopher Karbo taking on perhaps the most difficult character in literature and making it look easy. He commands the stage with such a strong presence; during his performance of each soliloquy it felt like an intimate friend taking each individual audience member aside and really having a heart-to-heart with them. It felt so raw, and true. Eric Castro and Mary Carrig give excellent supporting performances. Each line was delivered with such passion. It was absolutely a fantastic show, and a great way to return to watching theater performances on a personal note.

This is one of the good ones ! ! Been to many of the small theatres in LA area…read more Welcoming staff and easy parking. Every seat is good. Recently saw "On the Money"... we loved it. Great cast and overall performance. Engaging, fast paced drama with lots of funny moments and some oddball characters you might find in a dive bar. (show was extended, but I think it's closing soon - check it out)

Theatre is right on Victory Blvd surrounded by residential streets. Parking seemed plentiful (&…read moreyou can park in residential as well but no parking lot itself). As for the venue, the Sunday performances require masks and when a customer in front of me inquired about it the staff member indicated that they offer Sundays for those customers who want to wear masks. Doesn't make sense to me because if a customer wants to wear a mask during any performance in this venue they should be able to. Upon that said, there were a few customers not wearing any masks (again, makes no sense). The other con is they offer refreshments for sale at reasonable prices; however, you cannot take them into the theatre. I have only been to one other theatre that did not allow food nor drinks so you have to arrive early if you want refreshments or you can purchase during the intermission but have to hurry to finish up. Although staff was friendly and informative, the venue was cramped although plenty of seating is available. I doubt I will patronize this theatre again unless it was a "to die for" performance showing.

I absolutely enjoy taking classes here! I am learning so…read moremuch every week. It's so wonderful to practice our craft in such a safe kind environment. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to study here and learn from such fantastic mentors.

I've officially been a student at Brian Cutlers' Acting Studio for 8 months and can fully and…read morehonestly share my thoughts and overview on my experience. Look. This acting thing is tough (and rough)... Especially if you're new to the industry and starting out as a newbie. So much to figure out - classes, getting representation - the who and the hows, how to market yourself - the what and the where... and then what happens when you get an audition, or callback?! I've learned so much from Brian and the team at BCAS. Brian has had a long and successful acting career. He's figured it out and is passing on his wisdom. Lucky us - the BCAS team lays it all out there. I remember visiting (auditing) different acting schools as I tried to find THE ONE. BCAS was the third studio I visited. Being someone who has major social anxiety, it took a lot for me to put myself out there - but when I walked in, I immediately felt as if I found my acting home, my "family". Brian, John, and Jill knew each student by name. They even knew who I was when I walked in on Day 1. I was impressed. Observing the format of the class, how Brian led and shared raw notes throughout the session, his humor and/but also seriousness with his art, how the group was focused, supportive and positive, and the professional equipment and recording set up, I signed up for my first cycle that evening. I was done auditing any other class/schools. I'm still at the beginning stage of my career in acting, but I know with the Brian's guidance, the different courses/services that the studio offers (accelerated program, assistance on eligibility to become Sag-E, etc.,) my career will move forward. No doubt. As a note: BCAS won't do the work for you. They'll be there as a tool and resource for you to succeed. But YOU have to put in the work. So there's that. Get to work. As I tell my kids, "If I'm not having a blast, I'm not doing it." Good Luck friends!

Exit Wounds, World Premiere... written by Wendy Graf and directed by Christopher Hart playing from now until December 15th 2019. Exit Wounds is a mystery play. Here's an excerpt from the promotional poster, "How do you find redemption when someone you love has committed a terrible crime? A story of healing, hope and compassion". The other play is Confederates, Los Angeles Premier... written by Suzanne Bradbeer and directed by Christopher Hart playing from now until December 16th 2019. Confederates appears to be a drama. Here's an excerpt from the promotional poster, "A young and ambitious reporter uncovers a compromising photo of the daughter of a presidential candidate. An older colleague urges him to publish it immediately while the daughter and his conscience tells him to bury it". Tickets for these shows can be purchased online at www.gtc.org Maybe, I'll give GTC five stars if I ever watch a stageplay there, but that's not today. I should be at the Betsy Leuke Creative Arts Center (5-stars), Photography Reception instead of yelping in front the theater. Support Burbank (or your local) Parks & Recreation Department's community activities.

Since it is not right near big street & no sign anywhere, it is hard to spot. The Parking: Parking lot right next to the theater (free). Also street parking on Olive (free)! The Price: Found the tickets on Goldstar.com. FREE! Only pay $7 service fee!! The Show: "Inside Out" - AWESOME production!! 6 female casts... ALL fantastic!! Great voice & acting!!! Very funny story, really enjoy the show!!! Highly recommended~ The cast even came to the lobby to greet the audience after the show!! It is nice to chat with them in person. 8pm-10:30pm with 15 minutes intermission.

This was fun event…read moreand I got to meet not only the star of the movie buddy himself, but we also go to meet some of the cast and crew of the film. Free popcorn and drinks were provided as well as some good photo opportunities with the backdrop and orange carpet. Never been to this theater, audio and video was good and the experience and staff was worth hyping up. Highly recommend attending their special events at the alex theater

8/16/26 Finally made it to the Live Taping of Nurse John Comedy show at the Alex Theater; Glendale,…read moreCa with life long friends (fellow nurse buddy Mai & Yelp friend, Allen P) It's a good venue, all the while an older theater due to its non ADA compliant status--no elevators, and I had to carefully drag my bulky & heavy medical boot up & down the stairs. Thankfully our tickets were upgraded to the orchestra section (we had the balcony initially. That was kind of the usher to accommodate us. My nurse buddies and I have been meaning to catch Nurse John's act for some time now and finally had the opportunity to see him in Glendale (not having to drive to San Diego or anywhere 2 hours away). I love that this venue is near many restaurants. It was a great show and we enjoyed it a lot. The seats are a bit dated but well maintained, The AC/temperature could've been cooler but it was fairly comfortable It was, after all, a packed house. There's street, valet & nearby parking structures available. Concession stands had beverages & popcorn for sale. The show was also selling T-shirts for $45 (Medicated, Caffeinated & Dehydrated and the other, Short Staffed, with Nurse John's image on the shirts) I would have probably purchased it if it were a different color, blue gray or maybe even white (if it was $30-35). All in all, a pretty good experience.
