It's been a number of years since I've been to this venue. When I recently attended a show here I…read moreremembered just how much I liked the layout and the acoustics. This theater is quite comfortable, the staff people working are all quite friendly, and the decor is very pleasant. The only area I think some improvement could be made in is the area of concessions. I paid $12 for two bottles of water and a cookie. It just seems to me this markup is outrageous. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the show.

I watched the Swan Lake ballet performed by World Ballet Company at the Harris Center. I felt it…read morewas an overpriced, mediocre performance. I got bored by the sets and dancing quickly. My ticket cost $100 plus a $7 service fee. If you want professional ballet, you have to head to SF Ballet in San Francisco. Harris Center is part of Folsom Lake College, a community college. It's a school auditorium. Rows are narrow. Seats are not that comfy or spacious. It does not compare to the beautiful performing arts theaters in downtown Sacramento or San Francisco. There were two sets of restrooms on the main floor. Not very many stalls in one women's restroom, maybe like 6. I thought this wording on the ticket and parking permit printout was confusing: "Ample parking is located adjacent to the Harris Center facility in Lot D." I guess the Harris Center is located in Lot D because there is definitely not enough parking in Lot D alone. We and many others ended up parking in the much larger nearby Lot C. Passes purchased through campus kiosks are $2. On the map, I saw three Daily Parking Permit kiosks located on College Parkway, the loop around campus. Passes purchased online or through the box office are $3, incurring a $1 administrative fee. If you order online, remember print your parking permit to display on your dashboard. It's good that parking is easy and inexpensive.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed most of the show. The only real complaint was that the performance was supposed to be at the outside theater and so we bought chairs and brought them for this show... but as soon as we arrived at the outdoor theater, there was a small sign telling us it had been moved indoors. Back to the car (there was 7 of us) hauling our chairs to put them back then to walk down the street. Now we don't mind that it was moved inside because it was literally 105 outside and we wondering how the performance was going to go.......the complaint is that the theater people who we bought the tickets through should have emailed people who bought tickets to let them know ahead of time. We wouldn't have bought or brought chairs. That being said, again, great show.

This theater is located in a 30,000 square foot warehouse type building,which has to be so great for the kids and adults who partake in their productions-everything felt so roomy and comfortable-Parking at this location is a breeze,they have their own parking lot so that's a plus. When you arrive on show night after being greeted by the nicest friendliest people at the door checking your tickets,you walk into a snack bar area where they are serving various snacks and drinks where u can get pick up anything from a bag of chips,candy or even an adult beverage-very convenient for those like me who skipped dinner before the show. When you walk into the theater-it is a tad bit cold but they have thought of everything here-the very friendly workers/ushers in the theater offer their patrons blankets they can have at their seats while watching the show,which I felt was so thoughtful. As far as seating goes,they have 3 sections,the center and 2 sides,on this particular night I had tickets on the side but as I learned there really isn't a bad seat in the house,it's designed in such a way that the stage is right on top of you no matter where u sit-so no worries if u don't get 1st few rows center for the show. The production itself is so well written and so well performed by such a talented group of performers-I can tell that this theater truly does put so much time and effort into preparing the performers for show nights that I guarantee you will have an incredible time watching a show out at this really great family friendly theater. In closing-if you ever find yourself out in the El Dorado Hills area and you want to support local theater,which is such an important part of our community,I would fully recommend getting yourself out to El Dorado Musical Theater and catching a show-they are doing really great things out there. PS-Though my daughter is an adult-this theater group has a vast youth program for young performers to partake in musical theater-if your child has ever expressed an interest in performing-get them out there,performing does wonders for building character in our children.

The teachers are excellent and go out of their way to get to know the students and work with them as individuals. For kids more serious about dance or musical theatre, the troupes and companies enable them to get more specialized instruction, as well as several performance opportunities during the year. On a couple of occasions we traveled and performed in the Choreographers festival in Palm Desert, California, where many of the top programs are invited each year. Highly recommend.

I love the full breakdown Cody gave us regarding "moving to LA" I was mind blown and completely changed my perspective on Acting and how I should pursue it! I cannot wait to take the commercial course this month and continue my ongoing acting classes! Tip: 1. Go in ready to learn and absorb everything. Take notes, EVERY session. (I'm still reviewing notes and implementing them) 2. Ask questions. Everything that you have ever wondered about the industry. ASK! 3. Make connections. There are beginners, advanced and in-between in the class. There may be opportunities to work with them in the future! 4. During your one on one, speak candidly, respectfully and ask MORE questions! This is your time to learn from Cody, who has been in the industry since he was a child! Wealth of knowledge!

What impressed me even more was that all 150 of our adult guests were just as entertained! There were laughs, gasps, and moments where everyone was left wondering, "How did he do that?" It was one of the highlights of the entire celebration and truly a show we'll be talking about for years.

He has an amazing way of connecting with both children and adults, making everyone feel part of the experience.
