Yet they invest ZERO effort in providing the tools their graduates can use to bridge into professional work. No film samples graduates can use in their audition work. This is a VERY basic portfolio development step that any real theatre program worth its salt should be making. But no one from the recently graduated classes has anything to show prospective casting directors of their work over the last four years. If you're contemplating sending your kid to GTA, think hard on that decision.

It was the first time I've been so maybe it was for this specific show. Only real negative experience was the security overkill that took place outside. Everyone was "wanded" and men wearing caps had to take them off. Even ladies who had been screened had their bags searched again inside. It was a lot and made me wonder what has happened there in the past, or what did they expect to happen that night? An what would they have done if it had been raining?

The venue is relatively new, handicap accessible. Ample free parking. They have a wonderful atrium with comfortable and abundant seating you can use while waiting for the rest of your group. It also contains a small but interesting museum about the City of Buford which is free but does accept donations. The theater has comfortable seats and there are no obstructions! All seats have a great view of the stage area. This is a great place for meetup groups, Red Hat Society events, or just plain couples or singles going out. The staff are extremely friendly. Wine and Beer are sold before the shows and during intermission. Check out their website for upcoming productions. I have not been disappointed.

They have a large outdoor area with music. Bring your chairs and hang out! You can order your wine and snack foods inside. The wine is typical of Georgia wines and the prices are reasonable. The snack are made of local ingredients and the charcuterie board was yum. Everyone was very nice and friendly. You can also try the wines before purchasing. I got a bottle of dry rosé. I love the atmosphere and it was a good time for hanging out. I would love to see more food options, maybe food trucks since there aren't restaurants close by. But overall, a fun place to visit with friends!

As a former professional dancer, instructor and studio owner I would like to commend Janeen and her…read morestaff on a job well done. I think the studio is well run and welcoming. The teachers are well trained and very personable and nice. I'd also like to comment about the last review. The recital was not at all tacky, it was very nice, especially for the money charged to put it on. Each dancer received two-three free tickets and any additional tickets were only five dollars. And have you ever tried to teach a 3 YO a 2.5 minute dance? Of course the teacher had to lead the kids on stage. Did this parent expect their child to be ready for the New York City Ballet? I've spent a significant amount of time there and would be extremely surprised if anyone was treated without kindness and respect. I would highly recommend this studio for anyone wanting to take dance or performing arts classes in a professional yet welcoming and nurturing environment.

My 3 year old had fun, but she did not realize that her class was consistently starting late and ending early, their recital, which started 15 minutes late, was so tacky we were embarrassed to have invited our family and friends, and they essentially played follow the leader with their teacher for 2 minutes and 15 seconds. They took measurements and photos during class time that we paid for, which is a conflict of interests at best and a disservice to my child who came ready to dance and ended up sitting by the wall for an hour, only to find that the pictures were of such poor quality that we will how have to take our own time and additional money to have them re-made. When you go into dance with your child, you have to expect that it will be expensive, but this place is a money pit and you definitely do not get what you pay for.

My son absolutely loves The Actor's Scene.

I spoke with her and got some information about their services. She offered a complimentary class for my son, who I've always thought might benefit from acting and developing his performance skills. Scheduling was pretty easy, and the classes are truly wonderful for helping your child build confidence and develop skills in the performing arts. My son is currently in the Theater Fundamentals class, and he loves it! His coach, Maddie, has been very encouraging and supportive from what he tells me. This is a great place to help build your child's confidence, and the location is excellent. Free parking is plentiful, and payment plans are available. 5 stars, and thank you to the staff, coaches, and owner for being here.

The Actors Scene in Buford, Ga has become my vehicle to transport to these now quite tangible lands.

I've been taking classes for about 3 months and in that short time, I feel myself approaching that once distant dream. I highly recommend The Actor's scene in Buford for all your classes, trainings, tapings and coaching needs.

Danielle has her teaching style down to a "T" because every recital I've been too has little musicians who truly enjoy playing and don't see it as chore.

Studio is part of a historic building in downtown Gainesville and renders itself to a more cozy feeling which is not intimidating for the beginner and warm and inviting for the more experienced.
