The instructors are actively working, or connected to those actively working, so they are able to provide real advice to help guide you forward in the industry. Marie in particular has been fantastic to work with and I cannot wait to grow with her. Plus, the community is incredibly supportive! Everyone I have engaged with so far truly wants to see their peers succeed. This is not a competition, it is a supportive, educational environment and I am so glad I found it!

I started out at Babcock Studios not knowing what to expect in terms of acting because I was so new…read moreto it. Over the course of a few months Todd helped me see a potential I hadn't seen in myself and my acting quickly progressed. This class taught me not only how to act, but the business of acting and it helped me gain an extreme confidence in a craft that I hadn't explored until I took the class. Todd is an amazing coach and really spends time getting to know each and every one of the students, and he really builds a community (or a little oasis) for us all to grow, learn and create together. The balance of professionalism and friendship in the class is unprecedented, and you will leave a better and more confident actor with a variety of skills under your belt, and a group of people to call family. Amazing class!! Thank you Todd

After months of research and an exhaustive search for the right acting class, I began studying with…read moreTodd in June of 2015. I was immediately pleased with my decision. Todd is a wonderful teacher/human, and he genuinely wants to see you succeed and grow. Every student, every class, gets stage time and instruction from Todd. It's very collaborative and I leave class feeling a little stronger and more empowered than I was before. Bottom line: Todd puts you at ease, makes sure you feel safe and heard, and he knows when to push you to be your best. I've learned a lot about myself over the past five months. Acting is giving me permission to be brave and loud and bold and crazy and honest and emotional and out-of-control and real. If you're looking for a gifted and caring teacher with good hair, Todd's your man.

Benjy Dorbin is talented, whole-hearted...and a superb acting coach! I highly recommend his Zoom…read moreclasses and 1-1 training. My talent agent connected me with Benjy Dobrin Studios last year. It's been life-changing. Why? 1. Benjy is superb at understanding and adapting based on each student's coaching needs. I'm personally analytical and each class includes very different personalities. It's cool to experience and see him work with everyone. 2. The community Benjy has created in our classes is unparalleled. For various reasons, I'll sometimes hop into different classes. It's an encouraging environment with great and talented people. 3. It's freakin' fun! Every class is based around having fun. It's like a box of chocolates...you never know what you'll get (in a fun way, of course). Whether you're exploring group classes or 1 on 1 training, I highly recommend Dobrin Studios.

I've been a performer of some sort all my life-dabbled in almost every type of art you could think of. After about ten years of "life happens" situations, trying my hand at any "normal person" jobs that I could find from fast food to EMT to insurance brokerage and even Cosmetology, I finally figured out that none of it could fill the void. A friend connected me with Benjy and the first night I was at his studio for a free class, I was hooked. I knew I found my place in the world again. Never have I found a community of caring and supportive like minded people! Benjy has an amazing way of guiding and teaching that won't rip apart a person's soul. He is a great mentor and now friend. I would recommend this studio for anyone looking to build confidence, get better at public speaking and of course learning how to act. It doesn't matter if its to gear you up for a profession in acting our just for fun, You can't go wrong here! (Ps. I may be an actor but I'm not paid for this review. It's all from my heart!)

As a student of their certificate program her skills have grown by leaps and bounds over the last two years. The program is fun but also serious about giving students the skills to be successful. She has studied from some of the same books that are assigned to college acting students. Teachers know their stuff and are good at creating an environment that is safe and supportive but also pushes students to stretch into their capabilities. The school has also been amazing at helping us find opportunities and avoid pitfalls as she's become active in the local film community. It's great that they have different options to meet different needs. For my daughter the certificate program has been ideal, and has allowed her to also attend the workshops that are a good fit for someone who wants to work on skills without committing to more of a "career" type track. They also have camps, which we can't speak to since we haven't done one, and they have a group taking a trip to LA soon. She is passionate about acting and would like to pursue this as a career path. Her training at CSA has truly given her the acting skills and professionalism that have helped her to already have a solid resume and an excellent start on her journey as a professional actor.

The school offers showcases as well in which industry professionals from Los Angeles come to see the children perform. If you or your child are serious about becoming an on-screen actor and learning the ropes from people who really understand the industry, there is no where else in town to be!

Atmosphere & Performance This was The Notebook The Musical…read moreso it is different from the book and the movie. I would say the musical leans more toward a romantic comedy especially compared to the movie and you will definitely notice the differences. That said I still think The Notebook musical is great. I really enjoyed it and it absolutely still has those tearjerker moments. The cast was awesome and everyone sang so beautifully. The performances felt genuine and emotional and the atmosphere in the theater really helped pull everything together. Customer Service Customer service was amazing. Everyone was super friendly helpful and accommodating from the moment we arrived. As soon as I checked in they noticed I was a lottery ticket winner and congratulated me which was really sweet and unexpected. I did not need that but it was still a very thoughtful touch. Staff showed us where to go and once we got closer to our seating area another staff member walked us directly to our seats. Overall everyone was welcoming and made the experience feel smooth and stress free. Pricing & Parking I got my tickets through Lucky Seats. Which is a lottery-style system for discounted tickets. We won two tickets for a total of $78 and our seats were very close to the stage with a great view. Discounted tickets made the experience even better. Parking at DCPA was $17, and they only accept card payments. Parking was convenient, with several nearby options, and it did not feel overwhelming getting in or out. Food & Drinks For food and drinks I paid twenty two dollars total not including tip. I got one Sprite one bottled Sprite one bottle of Coca Cola and a pack of gummy bears. I understand it is for a great cause and supports DCPA but it is a bit pricey. If you need to sneak in your own snacks do what you gotta do. Overall Experience My overall experience was honestly perfect. The performance was amazing the seats were great and the entire night was so much fun. I would absolutely go back again and highly recommend checking out DCPA and one of their shows.

Live theater is not only a dying art, but live magic is something that most people will go their whole lives without seeing. I might a bit biased as I am a magician, but Joe and Carol do this thing right. Not only are they great and friendly people, they are terrific performers and magicians. I attended for a friends work party, and they let them have drinks and food before the show. Joe and carol did a nice mix of close-up and parlour magic, with some mentalism mixed in. It was a small group and they handled it very well. I don't think anyone really knew what to expect but by the end they were all very impressed. They also do lectures for magicians and bring in some of the biggest names in magic to not only do lecture but perform. If you live in Castle Rock, make sure and get a ticket to a show at least once. You will probably end up coming back for more and you will not regret it. Anyone these guys bring in will be worth watching. Thanks again Joe and Carol for the excellent conversation and performance!

Favoritism is their talent.

I was a past student there and I have something to say about spotlight. Some of the things are good…read morebut most are bad. The good things were that they offer a good range of classes from tumbling to acting, I only took acting and singing classes, they also do a lot of charity work and take groups to fun locations to sing. The bad things have scared me for life. I always felt as if I was not as good at singing or acting then the other kids, the vocal lessons started off in the main performing room were you would do vocal exercises and group songs then Teresa and Ashley would separate the kids into two groups, which I think is highly inappropriate because some kids struggle with confidence levels like me and I put on a shell that looks confident but I really struggle with self control so it was hard for me and for other kids. Another thing is that Ashley and Teresa put a front up saying that they don't try to make kids perfect when I think they do they also choose favorites ( I know every kid says that the teachers have favorites but in this case there where favorites) I always felt I was never up a favorite kid because they treated other kids differently. Amber who is a family member and student at spotlight is treated better then most kids and I know she has epilepsy and has a service dog for a reason but amber would bring her dog up to the stage and sing with It making the dog jump out of her hands and make a distraction also I'm afraid of small dogs and they give me bad anxiety so that was not helpful also they would hand out stickers to the "better" kids which again causes problems. The acting part was the same with the favorites. I remember going home everyday after those horrible classes crying. I have to go to therapy for anxiety and self esteem and when I went to spotlight they got worse Theo
