I visited here over the weekend for a dance competition and everything was overall pretty nice…read more There's plenty of parking and when you walk in the lobby is nice and bright. The bathrooms were clean with plenty of stalls and the backstage area was well maintained. The theater itself has lots of seating and is quite comfortable, however, the seating rows are very long with no breaks, so basically if you're sitting in middle seats, you have to walk past so many people on either side of you to try to get out. This would be a nightmare if there was an emergency or anything.

Wonderful experience at this venue to see the Hot Chocolate Nutcracker…read more Very helpful staff to assist with seating. Venue appeared clean. Plenty of free parking.

I am so excited for my son to start the PAW Debate camp. He is 10 and I have been searching for a…read moredebate camp for his age group for a long time. Everything that I have found are geared for older children.

In 2019, we enrolled our then 5 year old daughter in the "Hip Hop Hamilton" Musical Theater Camp,…read moreat the El Segundo location. We were initially hesitant to send our child to camp with older kids. Our feelings changed on the first day of camp. The camp director and camp workers were friendly and attentive to our needs and concerns. They gave us a great orientation before we left our daughter for the day. When we picked up our daughter, she was genuinely happy. At the end of each camp day, it felt good when our daughter gave us a "fun" recap of the day's activities. We also enjoyed helping our daughter practice her lines, in preparation for the closing performance! Pros: Diversity of camp members, the camp director, the camp staff, the location, new friendships that were formed Cons: 2 weeks is a short amount of time!

Working with Billy Gallo at Manhattan Actor Studio was a game changer for my son. He came in with a…read moredream of becoming an actor, and within 10 months, with Billy's guidance, that dream became a reality and he is an actor! The VIP Experience Package set us up for success. Billy provided weekly thoughtful, quality material that expanded my son's range and growth. Billy also helped us think through social media content , guided us on the right at-home self-tape equipment, and even took the time to help me understand the audition process. We now have the right assets to put in front of agents and casting directors - headshots and several professional reels to choose from. What truly sets Billy apart is the relationship he builds with his students, his teaching style is both motivating and structured, helping young actors build confidence. I highly recommend Manhattan Actor Studio VIP package for anyone serious about launching or advancing an acting career.

Between the two of them we've probably been involved in 20 different POPs productions and our girls have learned so much. Regardless of role, in each production the girls have felt valued, developed wonderful friendships, learned teamwork, and the value of hard work! In addition to the productions, POPS also has great training classes for Acting, Voice, and Dance of which we've tried several. The owners, Julia and Mark Mirkovich, have worked to build an amazing youth theater company where the productions are outstanding. The producers, directors, and teachers Hazel, Ashley, Chloe, Evie, and Marcela work so hard with the kids to teach and support the kids as they learn about theater. If your kids want to try musical theater, POPs is a great place to check out!

My daughter loves dancing thanks to her dance family at Fifth Row!! We were at another studio where…read moreshe was starting to get bored and not wanting to go to the classes. We switched to Fifth Row this year and enrolled in 2 classes: Hip-hop and Jazz. She liked that she was learning dances to fun modern songs such as Taylor Swift and Barbie. With 2 classes, she is part of the dance "Crew" team. The studio hosts Cast/Company/Crew events a few times a year on a Sunday afternoon they have the girls get together at the studio to do bonding activities including learning a dance routine. Each of the get-together's had a theme such as a holiday party where they did a white elephant gift exchange and they brought treats for the girls. My daughter really looks forward to those events and the nice thing is the studio hosts these at no extra charge. Another thing they do at no extra charge is have a few extra rehearsals when it gets closer to the recital date. As a parent, it made me happy to see my daughter get excited about going to her dance studio. My daughter loves her dances so much that she wants to perform them at every family get together. She is so proud to show off her routines! We are really looking forward to her recital show next month! Thanks to Fifth Row she has a renewed love for dance and we are so excited to see where this takes her!

My youngest daughter is going into her 7th My Stage performance and we couldn't image life without…read moreher enrolled here. she struggled with reading books, but truly learned to read because she had the motivation to read her entire script in her first shows. I am always amazed at the costumes, set and production quality of the final show. I have an older daughter who has been coming for over 4 years. She started with a few My Statges shows and is now doing her second mini POPs show which has been such a confidence building experience for her. She was always a bit introverted, struggled with speaking to anyone she didn't know, but now I have over heard her credit her enjoyment of presenting class projects with friends at school to feeling confident in front of any audience size as a performer here. The staff truly feel like family to our daughters. They are exceptional acting, choreography and singing teachers! I really find it sweet that a few of the teachers even were students here when they were growing up. I think my daughter's only regret is that they don't spend more of their time after school here, so they and their friends always ask to do the vacation and summer camps here. Even the camps have been very good value. Priceless experiences for my daughters to build acting, dancing and singing skills and learn about working as a team to create exceptional musicals. We love the friends they have made here. They have grown closer with students they knew from their school & their cast mates. I could not image a better place to take my daughters.

Pretty impressive for 30-minute lessons a week apart in a 4 year old who can barely concentrate on any task for more than a few minutes. The set up seems cool here. Music rooms with more of a rock music instruction focus. Some individual lessons and some whole bands of kids playing. Loungey area to hang out with snacks and air hockey. Really cool spot!
