He is a wonderful teacher with all of us despite the wide range of experience we all had a relaxing, successful experience. Highly recommend for an enjoyable family activity!

What a lovely little place to catch a show in the Little City!…read more I took my family to see a production of "Madeline's Christmas" and we all had a great time. This annual holiday production's is 95% children-led and we were all awestruck by all the talent show. The 65 minute production was just the right amount of time to keep everyone engaged and the small theatre meant there was not a bad seat in the house. The show used a mix of fun props to tell the story and the script was written in a way that would please even the most die-hard Madeline fan. Parking was easy-peasy (it shares a garage with Whole Foods) and we were able to purchase tickets in advance through their online portal (highly recommend, our show was completely sold out!). They offer several classes and camps throughout the year which I'm already looking at for my eldest daughter.
