Hilarious shows to help you escape from the drama of the day or the stresses of the world. Would recommend seeing one of the MainStage shows and/or taking an improv class which will change your life for the better. Devin and Gina(owners/performers/artistic directors/wonderful humans) provide a joyful space that fosters comedy and welcomes all. They have drinks and snacks to purchase. I drank an RC cola for the first time there. They have bathrooms as well if you drink too many RC colas. I attend and perform in their improv festival every year and they bring phenomenal acts like MAX! See you next year or sooner!

I honestly had no idea this place was here (I guess I'm not cultured lol)…read more This place did not disappoint. It's in a really nice area of Costa Mesa close to a bunch of hotels, south coast plaza and some of the best restaurants. (So many options for you to pick from and have dinner before your show) The architecture of the building itself is really beautiful. I would say it's a little tucked in, because I am always in this area and have never seen it before. The ambiance inside is nice as well. It's extremely clean This place has a parking garage and valet. Unfortunately, we had no idea they had valet. So we just automatically parked in the parking garage. But they do have a little walk way that is extremely easy to get to the building from the garage The lines went extremely fast for getting into the building. There was no restrictions on handbag size. ( or at least they didn't say anything to me about it / could differ from show to show and who is performing) All I had to do was open my purse and walk through a metal detector. Everyone was so friendly Once we entered the building, there are tons of staff directing you where to go if you need help finding your section They do have stairs when you walk in, but they have elevators. I chose to walk up a few stairs and then take the elevator to get to our seats We had second floor box circle level seating. It was extremely easy to get to the seats and the lady who took us to our seats was extremely kind and helpful She also gave us the rules - No placing your handbag on the railing, no video or flash photography I can't stress enough, the importance of elevators and it being accessible. So 5 stars for that The bathrooms were very clean and had a great amount of bathroom stalls. So there was no line I only saw one very tiny stand where you could get refreshments. I did not get anything, so I don't know what they had to offer (such as alcohol or if they had any food) The write up online for the show we went to for Tchaikovsky's Fifth & Avi Avital Pacific Symphony -Experience Tchaikovsky's Triumphant Fifth & Mandolin Virtuoso Avi Avital!

We enrolled him in Rock 101 on guitar because of his interest in music, lack of interest in sports, and our desire to get him involved in something that would force him out of his comfort zone. The results have been more than I could have asked for. We're approaching 2 years in, he's performed about 6 concerts now (each time feeling less and less anxious), and has developed a real skill. His private teacher Cameron is just awesome, and has provided our son with consistent, encouraging feedback. He's made our son comfortable in a way I didn't expect from this place. We signed up our younger son for drums, and he loves it as well. I highly encourage kids to sign up. It's free to try out and the monthly cost is worth every penny. Our kids are ages 6 and 9 and love it.

They offer trial class, so I took my kid there to try. It's about 4-5 kids got together in the room…read moreand playing different instruments and since my kid was new and she didn't know what to do and it's very loud inside that they didn't warn us or offered us headphone to protect my kids's ears till I asked about it. We wanted our kid to focus on guitar, but their way of making a band looks a little chaotic to me without a good system...not exactly what we were looking for. We checked out and also found out the price was very high and we knew that it's not a place for us. Recommend people to take the trail class they offer first before making a decision to see if that's something you and your kids are looking for. Once you signed up, I don't know how easy of getting out of the contract.

She took multiple…read moreclasses including ballet with Carolyn, jazz with Ashley, tap with Chantal, and hip hop with Lauren. She loved all of her teachers and made so much growth! I was particularly impressed with how well run the recitals are and how well my daughter did at becoming an independent performer on stage. Most importantly, she had a lot of fun and made several close friends. The ladies who run the studio are always friendly and responsive to questions. We are looking forward to another great year at SCPA!

If you want to be part of a great team and dance family, you definitely want to check out SCPA! South Coast Performing Arts for life!

My toddler attended the Tunes for Tots session and she really enjoyed it…read more The facility is currently working on renovating. It seems like it's home to many. If you're looking for your toddler to do something and live nearby, I recommend. It's cute. I wish there was something more long term for them with adaptation of this class. This place is more performance based rather than being overly competitive. We do come from a very competitive background, but we are taking a break and decided to try this out before our move. It seems like a fine studio.

We loved the dance program at The Music Room but were disappointed in the two Show Biz Kids…read moremusicals we did there. The classes are huge, which gives everyone less stage time than feels reasonable given the financial and time commitment that the shows take. The casting for kids with speaking roles is handled poorly and casting is sometimes clearly based on grade level and family/friend relationships within the studio. We like the dance program at TMR but we now do theater elsewhere.

From the very first phone call to booking our first session, my friend and I felt completely at ease. We were searching for something recreational for our daughters to enjoy together, and as moms of girls on the spectrum, finding the right environment is so important and not always easy. After a not-so-great experience elsewhere, we were honestly a little nervous... but this studio completely changed everything for us. They went above and beyond right from the start, sending reminders about the tryout, letting us know what to bring, and even offering ballet flats and shoes to borrow so the girls would feel comfortable and included. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much. And then there's Mrs. Paris... truly something magical. She's the perfect balance of firm, professional, and incredibly fun. Her energy is contagious, and you can just feel how much the girls adore her. She's exceptional at what she does, using inclusive language, keeping the class engaging, and creating a space where every child feels seen and supported. The class itself is such a great mix, ballet in the first half and tap in the second and the girls were engaged the entire time. My friend and I kept looking at each other, just so proud and honestly a little emotional seeing our daughters so happy and thriving in that environment. It was an absolute no-brainer, we signed up that same day. If you're looking for a fun, intimate, and truly inclusive dance experience, this is the place.
