The ringleader guy was very passionate, and I could tell he wanted this to be a great experience for all of us. Some feedback for him because he deserves to know. 1) The directions on where to meet were not clear. We went to the spot in the email and walked straight into a wedding. We embarrassingly went to one ballroom(?) and had the wrong spot and then found the correct ballroom that had a clue on the door. Please double-check the venue and give us clear directions so we are not walking all over the place aimlessly. 2) Make sure the actors don't give it away before we even walk in the door. The person who ended up being the "killer" came from an area that was comparable to "backstage". This was in full view of the 80 or so of us in line waiting for the locked doors to open. We all came from the assorted parking lots but this one person came from somewhat of an employee entrance and stood out like a sore thumb. There was another actor that gave themselves away in line by commenting "some fresh meat" or some such phrase regarding the lot of us that made me think, hmm, here is another actor. Lo and behold, it was. The food is bleh, but that is not the fault of these folks. It is the food served at the establishment and it kind of tastes like a mid-level wedding (mashed potatoes were realllly bad - like, heat lamp or boxed tasting). Bread in basket? Cold and hard. Salad was good and fresh. Dessert? So so. I see another review that says they didn't get dessert--I can tell you why they said that. The waiters didn't always bring all the food out. They forgot our salmon and I had to flag someone down. Had I not, it never would have come. Also--there is a bar. I thought it was included and told my guests to go ahead and get drinks. Turns out it was a cash bar! The website said full bar but did not say CASH BAR--please specify this! Now for the show--- we were spoiled, but it was still fun. It was definitely very loud as someone else pointed out, but I don't know if there is a way around that. The thing that soured me more than anything else was the giant envelopes on the table that were asking for extra gratuity for the actors! No. Just no. Bake that into the price. I noticed when I was buying tickets that I could pay an extra hundred to have one of my guests be a suspect (I saw this live with some people at the show, and it was very funny actually.) Maybe those people were the ones encouraged to tip extra--but they ostensibly paid an extra hundred already. This was in very poor form, since I paid hundreds of dollars for my party to attend this event in the first place. I was supposed to put more in the envelope? It was not covered? This reminded me of opening a birthday invite and having a registry card fall out, or someone throwing themselves a second baby shower. All and all a good time if the kinks can be worked out. Three stars.

I must say, the theatre we were in to see the show was veryyyyy comfortable. The seats are spacious and soft and comfy to sit in. The theatre was smaller than I expected, but still fit so many people. Lighting and sound are great. Bar service is easy too, there were 3 different bars to choose from so we were able to head to the ones with the shortest lines. Drinks are a bit pricey though. Wonderful show, so much fun!!!! For Nurse John No photography until the end of the show when they announce that you can take a few pics.

There's no free street parking nearby, so you'll most likely have to pay $16 to park in the lot there. You're not allowed to bring in food or drinks because they sell those items inside, and they also probably don't want you bringing in anything that isn't permitted. They had plenty of staff working the event, from security guards to ushers, helping people find their seats. As for the ambience, the place was well-decorated throughout the inside it was actually really nice. I would definitely recommend it if there's a show you want to see and it's being held at the Civic Arts Plaza. Don't hesitate to buy those tickets just be aware that you'll probably have to pay for parking.

It was so sweet to have her alternate at times from laying her head on Dear Hubby's shoulder and then mine. Sometimes she would sit up tall and lean forward at certain times in the show. After, she said, "I want to stay until the next one", thinking that the cast would be doing a second show right away the same day. She doesn't yet realize how much energy and effort goes into a performance like this, but I loved the positive reaction. The theater, while small scale and local, nonetheless does a great job of putting on entertainment which captivates their audiences. It's a blessing to have this venue close to home, away from the hassles and expense of going into L.A. Ticket prices are reasonable, parking is free, and the staff is friendly. The large cast managed to sing, dance, and act their way through a beloved classic musical on a smallish stage and made it work. Kudos to the visual technology that makes set decoration a new type of visual art. We're looking forward to seeing "Footloose" at the Arts Center soon.

She absolutely loves it, and the enrichment and growth we've seen in her confidence is just wonderful. I cannot say enough about the owners and staff.

Now, 4 years later, at the age of 10, our daughter has been in numerous BTP shows, Annie, Matilda, Shrek, and other performances in front of numerous audiences. It's given her the confidence to be in her school talent shows and get kudos from many of her teachers and classmates on her performances. Beyond the classes she takes with BTP, the value of working on these productions with a team of people to create something bigger than themselves is a lesson in life. The ability to stand in front of an audience with confidence will serve her for many years to come. There are no words to express how grateful I am seeing her on that stage singing and dancing and HAPPY. Born to Perform ROCKS. :-)

Coming up is Avenue Q, Proof, Much Ado About Murder, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Pippin and more. Check their website for dates and times. There isn't a bad seat in the house. It seats 185.
