It's a serene, intimate, well lit spot that makes everyone feel comfortable. The tech always sounds amazing at the Glendale Room. I love performing here because there are always two working microphones. I also love how relaxed and chill everyone that works here is. I think one of my favorite things about watching comedy here is the couch in the back right corner. It's so comfortable I like to sit here to watch and perform. Glendale Room has a ton of open mics for anyone that wants to try stand up for the first couple of times. There are also snacks and drinks available for purchase on the honor system. How trusting! But really, the Glendale Room is a fabulous spot for some weekday or weekend entertainment. Parking is very convenient in the parking garage and every time I've parked- it's been easy. I absolutely love the Glendale Room and can't wait to go again!

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.

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.

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.

Well acted and absorbing. Hannah Rubenstein was a real stand-out as Emily! Loved the little cozy upstairs theatre. Next week we will see Frankenstein Resurrection in the larger downstairs theatre in the round. I'm really looking forward to going back! They have a bar, complete with Halloween themed drinks for the season, snacks, and a lounge for pre-show mingling in this cool old building that according to the people who work here...is haunted! (Not that I'm a believer, but it's quite the fun Halloween experience to entertain the idea ;) Definitely check out this great little theatre and support your local arts!

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!

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.

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.
