When I was 12 years old, I received a flyer in the mail for a play at Theatre 360. I spent weeks…read morememorizing a monologue and took a bus all the way to Pasadena for the audition. A few seconds into my audition, one of the judges interrupted me to say I couldn't participate in the play unless I was also enrolled in two of their paid classes. I explained that I was just hoping for the chance to audition, and my parents couldn't afford the additional classes. One of the judges reacted kindly and started to explain the process to me, but another judge cut her off with a cold, curt "Thank you, that will be all," and kicked me out of the room. Kids hear no all the time, but there was something so callous about her tone that it stayed with me after all these years. I'm in my 30s now, and this memory came rushing back when I found Theatre 360 flyers in my parents' mailbox. Looking back, I realize they had created a pay-to-play setup presented as open auditions for children. It takes a lot of courage for a kid to memorize a monologue, figure out public transportation, and perform in front of strangers. To cut a child off mid-audition and dismiss them so coldly showed a lack of empathy from the adults in charge. If this is how they handled kids who were simply not aware of their prerequisites, I'd question management's motives and how much they actually care about the kids here.

We had a few substitute teachers and all were wonderful except for one. We had an issue where one of the other students was causing trouble, but the sub didn't care. I didn't mind too much since I knew it was just a one off class that day. For the young class, they do some warm ups, learn some moves and have fun at the end. This is a great intro to performance and all the kids seem to enjoy it.

We have been seeing him live for years, but this was the first time to see him in a high school venue. I loved that parking was free. That is a rarity today!

Save your money! Last quarter I signed my son for the classes and since we are in the pandemic, I…read moreunderstood for the beginning that everything was going to be recorded, with the slightly possibility that they will have a live presentation before Christmas, which didn't happened. The classes were expensive $690 (including workshop materials) - for art of acting and $790 (including workshop materials) - for musical theatre. We chose the musical theatre, since my son loves musicals and we wanted to give it a try. From my son perspective, he enjoy the classes and had a great time; although he felt there was too much free time doing nothing. Classes were offered on sat from 8:30am-12:30pm. I asked my son to be open minded and give it a try. By the 5th class, I asked my son if they were using any props or workshop materials and he said no. Then I thought, ok maybe at the end they will provide the workshop materials or scenography or costumes. But the day of the presentation came, nothing was provided to the kids. The worst part is that my son was out of the camera vision (even though he said he was in the point he was instructed) and we ended up seeing nothing on the video link they sent us. It is the worst money spent. We try to spoke with the teacher twice and requested at least the 50% refund, since she did not provided what was promised to us. We had never been in this situation before. We love our community and our area. We like the teacher and understand the pandemic situation. However, that doesn't give her the right to keep the money for a job not well done. Specially if she noticed and email us replying that she wouldn't like to redo the whole thing only for one kid, but didn't offer any other solution and when we requested the money back, she just ignored us. Not professional, not nice to act like that. We of course wont be back and next time we will carefully check reviews of other places before we signed my son for this classes.

The parking was $25 at the door but $15 prepaid. Search around for the coupons and it was really worth it. I bought it directly through their own website and the discount was applied automatically. The air conditioning was not on. It was hot, and it was a hot and humid day. but it was tolerable with hand /electric fans. I like how they combine the movie theme with the acrobats. It was done really well. The seating area was smaller than what I would imagine from the map. So all seats are decent. The clown was a bit meh but it tied in with the theme. The music made it fun. It was well done and a very enjoyable show, especially for how much I paid for it!!! I saw people walking out of the parking lot through an opening in the fence. So likely there is parking outside of the area and should be able to find it circling around the parking lot. You won't miss the tent.
