I loved the different ages and talent. Parking is a bit of a headache. There isn't near enough for what this building can hold. Please give yourself enough time in case there isn't any parking stalls left. There are plenty of bathrooms, but during intermission, they have ropes set up for the huge line that forms. Snacks are sold, however can't be consumed inside the theater. Go figure? You can only eat outside in the lobby area. In the lobby is a table of Nutcracker/Christmas items you can purchase. I wish that there was a live orchestra, but this was my first time going and I don't understand much about this group. It was a recording that they danced to. I do recommend anyone to see this performance and let us know what you think?

This facility is top notch! We had a dance recital here after being in other venues, and wow! The…read more stage was large and equipped with all the bells and whistles, lighting was great, audience seating was wonderful from all the vantage points and spacious and comfortable, and the backstage areas for the performers were ample downstairs. Having more bathrooms backstage would have been helpful.

My daughter started dancing at WCDC fall of 2022, and let me tell you I am so grateful I found…read moreAngela and her staff. My daughter's previous dance school closed down and due to the pandemic she fell behind on her technique. I was worried it was too late for her- but WCDC helped her so much! Her skill level and technique for an 11 year old is impressive and I owe it all to Angela and her staff. Angela is great! She so calm and collective, not a ordinary dance school director. I always recommend WCDC to those who want to start their kiddos in dance.

She was having a hard time and none of the teachers (there were 2) trying to make her feel welcomed / comfortable during the class. No one checks us in. No connection was made during the class. I won't sign her up. Maybe they have gotten too big they don't care about the kids anymore.

What an incredible find. Came here on 2/26/12 for the Cypress String Quartet performance and I was…read moreblown away. About once a month, Kohl Mansion hosts musical performances (chamber concerts) in the Great Hall, a very intimate setting nothing like a symphony hall. Think of a Victorian era sitting room/parlour with a gloriously high ceiling and this is what you get - musicians on a slightly raised stage in front of a (non-operational) fireplace, and just several rows of seats surrounding the stage on 3 sides. I felt like I was enjoying my favorite Beethoven string quartet in a Beauty-and-the-Beast setting. You know what I'm talking about - that scene with the Beast sitting in front of the fireplace w/ the doggy footrest? Concert performances start at 7pm, but their resident musicologist, Kai Christiansen, gives a pre-concert talk at 6pm. If you are under 30, you are really in for a treat in the form of a generous discount - their "Gen Y & Z" discount tickets are only $15, compared to $45 for adult and $42 for senior tickets. To my fellow under-30 yelpers... get on this before you make it over the 30+ hill!! The parking lot fills to capacity with concert-goers so I recommend arriving no later than 6:30pm to ensure you get a parking spot. Complimentary refreshments are served after the concert - e.g. wine, cheese, charcuterie, fruit & other finger foods. One of the best refreshment spreads I've ever seen to be honest...without sounding too gluttonous. ;) You can meet and mingle with the musicians at this post-concert reception. So glad I found this place. Can't wait to be back in the coming months.

Eight concerts…read moreare held on Sunday evenings, preceded by informative lectures by our resident musicologist Kai Christiansen and followed by complimentary receptions at which all audience members are invited to meet and share refreshments with the musicians. Receptions are staffed by Mercy High School parents and students and community volunteers. The 2014-15 series will be the 32nd consecutive season, and features local, nationally and internationally-distinguished ensembles. In addition to our concert series, we provide school performances, master classes, coaching to approximately 5,000 local students as well as community outreach through our partners at the San Mateo Public Library and Peninsula Jewish Community Center. Our office, located on the campus of Mercy High School in the Kohl Mansion is open Tuesday through Thursday, but messages will be answered throughout the week. Our concerts are on Sundays, once a month October through May.

Because of its size, it provides an intimate experience regardless of where you sit. I sat at the second to last row but it still felt like a front row experience. At times I got goosebumps feeling like the actors were looking at me straight in the eyes. The concession was very reasonably priced. I got a cocktail for only $10.

They connected us with Mr. Jonathan, and he's been amazing -- super patient, creative, and always keeps the lessons engaging. One thing we especially love is that Mr. Jonathan encourages the kids to improvise at the end of lessons, and sometimes he even picks up his guitar to play along. It makes the music feel so much more fun and alive! We've had substitute teachers a few times, but honestly, no complaints whatsoever! The school also hosts recitals twice a year, which has been a huge confidence boost for the kids. They get recognized for all their hard work, and they actually look forward to performing -- and yes, they love the rewards too! We couldn't be happier with how much our child has grown and thrived here.
