Our community will always miss the very special place that was the Pierson Theatre / Theatre…read morePalisades. For decades, it wasn't just a building, but a home where neighbors came together to share stories, laughter, and music. Generations of families made memories there--whether performing on stage, volunteering behind the scenes, or simply enjoying an evening out with friends. When the January fire took it from us, it felt like losing a member of the family. Yet, the love and spirit it nurtured in Pacific Palisades will carry on, reminding us that while the theatre may be gone, the community it created lives on in all of us

Both of them so fantastic!!! Our play is part of the benefit series for their "save the main stage" campaign. The actors are phenomenal and been practicing for s month to bring madness with this play,right before Halloween!!! There is a pay parking facility across the street and meter parking up front. Very proud to be part of a little history on the theater world and glad its at the SM Playhouse.

We were enrolled at the school of dance and music before the pandemic but then all classes were being taught online during the pandemic. Unfortunately that didn't work out for us. We saw Sophie dance's old location while we were driving down Wilshire and it was history from there. My daughter tried out for their team and was very excited to join their family. She said she didn't feel the time while she was there. She actually begged to stay longer. Sophie dance isn't just a dance studio but they are a family. The staff there is very personable. They are not afraid to tell you the truth. Their teams are amazing. My daughter learned so much being part of their team. Unfortunately, this year they required more hours which we couldn't commit to but they will always be our first family. If your looking for something for your little dancer then I would definitely recommend this studio.

The teachers are great and make the classes fun and age appropriate. Her favorite part was participating in the recital but she likes all the in class performances as well.

Sign up early to get your desired time slot.

So, some people who are reviewing the programming or staff are actually reviewing SMC, not BroadStage or vice versa. I have never attended an SMC performance so I can't speak to their programming or staffing, but BroadStage has very interesting programming & very kind staff. Since BroadStage programming is so eclectic, though, some of it just isn't of interest to me. Different strokes....

The owner is horrible and she did some psychological damages to my daughter…read more She made my daughter feel unwanted and she couldn't stop crying. I had to comfort her because she was really down, sad, and crying. The owner Stephanie literally blocked my daughter with her arm and told her that she cannot play anymore and that she had to leave. My daughter really loves Jaime's camp and Jamie the instructor. But the owner did not let my daughter play with her anymore. She said it's time for you to go! You need to leave now! Do you know what psychological damages that does to a child. And Her reasoning was: 1. because she has been in here too long and she is too young. (Yet my child is 2 years and 9 months and was approved to be there for the 3 - 6 year old camp by Jamie) the instructor) 2. Because she was too much and there are so many kids to take care of that she can't pay attention to one. If she complains about too many kids to take care of, then why even accept too many kids in the first place. The place is indoors and so small and Stephanie cannot handle stress. She literally breaks down like almost crying. I even was startled by her behavior I couldn't believe it. I was just stunned. If you are planning to leave your kid here just remember that they probably won't be watched.

The language she uses with the children is impressive and is comparable to her preschool teachers. This is my daughter's first ballet experience and she absolutely loves it and asks to go to ballet almost every day. I highly recommend this pre-ballet class with teacher Jamie.

After driving past the world renowned Getty Villa so many times on the 405 Freeway I finally made it to this absolutely stunning gem. I was joined by my three very curious and ready to travel and conquer the world granddaughters who had read up on this. No guide needed. This replica of a First Century Roman Country house that was buried under Mt Vesuvius also had a coincidental close call with the recent fires In the area and came back stronger. Behold the lovely Roman style gardens that feature plants and herbs from the Mediterranean; the mosaic floors and the classical fountains in this calm and serene environment. There are over 1400 spectacular pieces of art( pottery, jewelry, statues and sculptures) plus an outdoor theater for special events and plays. Please do set aside 2 and a 1/2 to 3 hours to truly enjoy the entire experience. You also have to just sit in the gardens and take in the fresh air and the views. Goose bumps and conversations for days. Online timed reservations that are gratis. Parking is $25 and drops $10 after 3 pm.( you have to wrap things up by 4:30 pm). Closed on Tuesdays. There is a nice cafe on the villa campus. There is something for every age group. This truly was a WOW experience.

Built to be a 1:1 replica of a destroyed villa from Mt. Vesuvius at Herculaneum, Mr. Getty really did his thing with this one!! I personally find the architecture of this museum to be its best part because it feels like you've been transported back into Ancient Rome before the eruption. The museum itself contains antiquities from Ancient Greece, Rome, and other societies both pre-dating the two civilizations from the same region as well as those that existed at the same time in different regions (Egypt) in an effort to put antiquity in context. Parking here is $25 and the gift shop always contains some fun gems.

She said so many wonderful things about my child being in the program then the conversation took a turn when she told me that in order for me to put my child into the Adderly that I myself would have to sign up for aerobic exercises where she, the Directo, works out. I played it off and we left but this was highly inappropriate and damaging. She would put a child's opportunity at risk due to a parent carrying extra weight shortly after an accident. I would not associate with this organization.
