Robert Bella was inappropriate with women, head of school Kate Blumberg treated me like a simpering brat when I asked for some time off due to a outpatient surgery. Perhaps it was because it was an abortion that she felt entitled to her judgement / mean girl attitude. The student loans they helped me to get were predatory at 12% through Fannie Mae. Cynthia Sawyer was catty AF and generally unhelpful and worst of all was David Mamet. We were encouraged to attend a retreat workshop in Vermont we would get so much out of it etc etc. I witnessed Mamet absolutely tear into a young woman as she was performing a scene ... it was the most awful thing ever. She was in tears and he continued to ridicule her and exclaim "why is she still crying, why can't she stop crying" it was beyond excruciating to witness this blatant abusive behaviour. It was 99% attitude and 1% applicable technique. Everyone should be aware the technique is very mental. If you're trying to get out of your head and into your body... go somewhere else.

The training prepares us well for what is coming next in the world. It is an artistic home, and the atmosphere truly encourages personal and artistic growth. I have been honored to be a student of Barbara Marchant, and I feel proud to be called her student. She is an extraordinary teacher who brings out your best artistic self.

I read these 2 negative reviews of Barbara Marchant and wonder what planet these students are on…read more She is the best acting teacher I know. Nothing abusive, if anything she was too nice and accommodating to students who don't the work, or miss a lot of classes. My guess is these 2 students have their own issues. Some actors can't take "critic," and see it as abuse (it will hurt your feelings if you let it), but we need to hear the truth about our acting to move forward. We all get it in our heads we are good, but a better teacher who is honest with you (many just take your money and say great things) will see the difference, open your eyes if you allow it. Don't blame the teacher. She's trying to help you. You need a think skin in this business. You should be so lucky to have Barbara as your teacher.

It is obvious that Rob is invested in the success of each student, he holds all of us to a high standard and challenges us to deeply strengthen our craft. After only five weeks, every student leaves the class a significantly better actor. I am so grateful to have found Sedgwick Studios and to be a part of the enriching community it fosters!

I was deeply moved by his passion and devotion to develop good actors, which is why I not only enjoyed taking his class but repeating again and again. Whenever my performance was good, he took his time to compliment me with all his heart, and that really helped to build my confidence. Rob also really took his time to give me constructive advice on what I needed to work on, and I did my best each time to implement it in the best way I can. I feel very proud that I was able to improve so much in such a short period of time. I feel I was able to learn what it means to simply perform with joy without any fear or concern of anything. I feel I was able to understand what acting truly means through his class. I can honestly say that meeting and working with Rob truly changed my life. Last but not least, I was so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful and supportive classmates, and they created an environment where one can truly enjoy the art of acting.

At home, they put together the most amazing Broadways shows and we credit that to the love and humor that is part of the instruction and performances at Play On! We have seen our daughter literally grow up at Play On!, from her first after school class at age four to participating on the Saturday musical theater program and numerous one week summer camps. We keep going for more. The teachers are caring, thoughtful, and true champions of all of the children in class. They give their all, always.

Great Customer Service, Amazing Views and Chill Atmosphere!…read more We made reservations for my friend's birthday on 6/28 and this was one of the best overall experiences ever. Caio was very friendly and knowledgeable when it came on to the food and the drinks, he was also very entertaining and had great comedic timing. Camila was attentive, she came over to us and asked how everything was going and continued to check on us throughout the night. Even though it was super busy the staff remained friendly. The food was good, the portion sizes weren't big but were just right. The wings are not jumbo and the Truffle fries need to be tweaked, maybe change the recipe or call it fries with Parmesan cheese. As far as the drinks, the cocktail pouches were a hit. We had 2 each including two additional shots. This place is good for a happy hour, lunch, brunch, date, chill spot, etc. The views of the city were great, it's social media friendly with a lot of picture opportunities, they also have jumbo games such as Jenga, Connect Four and Cards. Overall it was a great night out. As far as the price point, multiple drinks will bring a hefty tab but that goes for most of the city.

You can also rent cabanas for larger groups and they have optional packages that can be reserved as well. They have a live DJ, music was great they played a mixture of new music along with older music for the more mature audience like my husband and myself. Everything was great for us, we truly enjoyed the change of atmosphere and crowd. If you are looking for a quiet place to have a conversation, I would not recommend this place. It's very loud, but in a fun way. Some people brought children, I personally would not recommend this unless you don't mind the drinking, yelling and smoking. Our food was good but the menu could have more dining options. I personally feel this place is catered more to people that are looking to have a light meal with plenty of drink options. It's more of a drink and socialize place. Again we LOVED it, because it was a change of scenery for us. The downside is that there is no restroom within the restaurant. You have to walk outside the restaurant to the end of the dock to use the public restrooms which normally has a very long line. This isn't ideal. Overall great experience. We checked out to the tune of a 200+ bill. The alcoholic drinks were pricey rolling in at $86 before taxes for four drinks.
