Small theatre (80+ seating I guess) so you sit up close and personal to the actors. Minimum scenery and props so depend on acting and your imagination to enjoy the show.

I watched a play called Black Comedy tonight at Cox Playhouse in Plano presented by Rover…read moreDramawerks. It was pretty unique experience. I used to love checking out the plays back in college. Mainly because they were free with my student ID but also because it's live. No editing, no takes, no do-overs.. everything is live. This particular play took it one step further. The seating arrangement was basically within breathing room of the actors and actresses all around the "stage". It's really just one room and everyone's on stage. Hard to explain. Check out the play if you can. I think it's playing entire month. So what makes this venue or experience 4 stars for me is this. After the play, they served refreshments (including wine) and the cast comes out to mingle and chat with the patrons. I didn't stay too long afterwards but I got to talk to one of the actors and he's just a regular Joe working on this in his precious spare time. Of all the plays I've been to, I've never experienced this before. Good venue. I will gladly continue supporting this theater. Quick note about the play itself. Very interesting. I'm not going to give much away as you can probably read synopsis of the play online anyway. But it might not be for all ages. I would say don't bring your kids which I noticed some patrons brought children. The actresses are a bit scantily clad but it's entirely appropriate to the theme of the play though. Update: Originally I gave it 5 stars. Since the review is for the theater room itself and not the play, I felt that I couldn't do the review justice if I didn't mention this part as it pertains to the theater itself. So I have bumped it down to 4 stars but obviously I still had a good experience despite my seating location. The seating matters. It's true that the stage is pretty much the room but there is a raised area of the stage that the actors and actresses will also use during the performance. If you sit too close to this area, then your view is blocked and cannot see what's going on up there. It's general admission so good thing is you can go early and grab a good seat but just be aware of the limitation I mentioned.

My husband was so impressed that he immediately asked about the season tickets. The seats are fantastic, and they give you so much aisle space so when someone is scooting out, no one has to stand and let them by. The chairs were very comfortable also and there was plenty of parking. The Black Box is located inside the Discovery Center so easy access off of The Dallas Tollway. We do wish there were single serving bags of pretzels, chips, cookies or something to purchase during intermission. They were kind enough to have small bottles of water For Free.

My son has ADHD and they not only embraced him, but develped his technique and he thrived! My daughter is very young and only did the recreation program, but all of the teachers (especially Tammy and cooper) were absolutely amazing! Because of DI both of my kids are way above their age level in all genres from just one year of dancing there. The staff is extremely professional, and the owner is just so on top of everything at the studio. The best part of the studio is that none of the teachers or staff (Including the owner) get involved with ANY of the drama at the studio. They place the kids where they will do the best in technique and maturity wise. The only reason why we left is because we moved out of state, however we are going back every year for some of the conventions they participate in so we have the chance to dance with them. They care about molding your dancer into a professional dancer, not just a competitive dancer who stops dancing at 18 when they age out of competitions. They work with the seniors in getting them into the right collages and help them earn scholarships to pay for tuition. The owner and staff are well connected as well to get your foot in the door if you want to go more towards the entertainment industry. The ballet program is top notch with dancers that get into the most prestigious dance schools. (They have placed at least 3 dancers at Juilliard last year). They also have great adult ballet, tap, and hop hop classes that are so much fun! If you have the opportunity to go to DI do it! It was the best decision for our whole family made in dance we have ever made.

The parking wasn't bad. Easy to get in and out of. The restrooms were clean and right outside the theater. The only thing I really did not care for is the seating. The chairs are very uncomfortable. If you are in the first few rows be prepared to strain your neck, hard! Also if you are bigger, I think you will feel squished. My friend who is a little larger came with me and could bearly fit in her seat. Also there is no real leg room, so if someone in your row has to get past you, you will need to stand up and move out of the row, like you are in a plane.

Our experience with Z left much to be desired. While the flexibility in scheduling was appreciated,…read moreseveral concerning issues overshadowed any positives. Firstly, there was a persistent impression that the instructor was more focused on upselling than providing necessary guidance. This detracted from the learning environment and left us feeling uneasy. Moreover, the instructor's strong body odor was a significant discomfort during sessions. This, coupled with disrespectful jokes and overly critical correction methods, created a hostile learning atmosphere. It's unacceptable for an instructor to justify disrespectful behavior as "part of teaching." Additionally, the instructor's tendency to repeat himself excessively became not only annoying but also detrimental to the learning process. Rather than clarifying instructions, it often led to confusion and frustration. Furthermore, the lack of structure in conducting lessons at the instructor's house was evident and contributed to an overall sense of disorganization. The music was often ready to be played, but there were awkward breaks between the commercials because he didn't pay for streaming service. Also, there were times when he had a connection issue on speaker. In summary, while Z offers flexibility in scheduling and understanding us running late sometimes, the negative aspects of our experience outweigh any potential benefits. We would not recommend it to others, especially those who prioritize a respectful and structured learning environment.

I initially sent out an email in November (and a few more afterward) to cancel my daughter's class, I even called multiple times and have left voicemails to try and speak to someone to ensure cancellation and no additional bills. To this day, no one has gotten back to me and I continue to receive emails of them trying to process a payment. I've called too many times to remember and calls always go directly to voicemail. This establishment is completely disorganized and lacks proper communication. Unfortunately, this issue completely overshadows the positive experience my daughter had here. I cannot recommend this place to anyone, as this shows they were willing to communicate with me initially to get my daughter signed up but completely avoid and ignore you when trying to cancel and go elsewhere.
