The shows were canceled without any notification other than a sign on the door that said that all shows were canceled (Friday and Saturday). We bought tickets for Saturday and the sign was posted for the Friday show. I had folks driving in from Santa Cruz to attend and they were pissed. Checked their website and socials - no notice or announcement. In fact there were posts still promoting the event with a link to buy tickets. We hung outside to figure out alternative plans and saw a ton of people show up who also had no idea that the show was canceled so it wasn't just us. I get that it's a community-led theater but they could at least update us on their socials and website. We were all looking forward to the show because magic shows like this aren't frequent and we wanted to support the theatre. We tried calling the office and got no response. I called about 2 hours after the show was supposed to happen and got someone who was very nice. I was able to get a refund after opting out of the rescheduled show. When I said that I'd rather get a refund because who knows if the rescheduled show will be canceled, the person on the phone kind of chuckled in agreement. I don't plan on purchasing anything here or recommending shows here again.

So when I was looking for a play outside of SF this year, I immediately thought of this beautiful and intimate community theater that is only about 15 minutes away from us. It sits about 100 people and is on a first come first served basis. The only issue I had was they almost gave our seats away since we were running 5 minutes late even though we already paid months ago which there was no mention of on the reservation itself. Hopefully that would be something they could avoid doing in the future if it has already been prepaid but luckily, there were still 2 seats left and we were able to catch the play which was Agatha Christie's Unexpected Guest. Very well acted, keeps you guessing until the very end, and the actors even greet you on the way out. Looking forward to seeing another play here soon.

You can see high quality shows at a very affordable price. The youth productions are particularly great for young kids. When our kid was young, we took them to see shows at BPH. They were great shows but also at the price point, if my 4 year old couldn't sit still and we had to leave the show, I would not cry over the ticket price. Our kid did summer camps at BPH every year and they are now part of the youth production. BPH has become their second home. The staff are deeply caring and supportive. Kids are incredibly kind, passionate about musical theater, and supportive of each other. It is a wonderful community where our quirky theater kid found their tribe and has a sense of belonging. Being different is celebrated at BPH. I highly recommend their camps and youth programs to kids who enjoy performing on stage.

He is really passionate about drama and high performance. Since he is a full-time Elementary school teacher, he really knows how to get the best out of these kids. He has a team of excellent choreographers and directors working with him. Their whole team works really hard and the result is a phenomenal production. Drama improves a child's self-confidence in public speaking and provides a great platform for team work. After every performance we are totally awed by the enthusiasm and perfection of the whole team. The only negative I would say is that we are spoilt with TVYPA and would have a tough time doing drama with any other company.

The Music Director Kevin warmly and patiently builds the student's musical understanding and performances. His contribution keeps musical standards high and performances enjoyable. The Business Director/Producer Rachel adds the no nonsense behind the scenes taking care of business ballast for all this creativity. We are grateful for her expertise to keep SingOut thriving.

Originally named DLOC in 1959 when they formed a company performing Gilbert & Sullivan Light Operas. Eventually they changed the name to Diablo Theater Co.

Diablo Theater Co. that use to produce large scale Musicals & Light Opera productions at the Lesher Center For The Arts in Walnut Creek, is no longer in business. STARS 2000 continues as their own company. There is no other youth program that is under the auspices of the Diablo Theater Co. and in fact their studios were sold and are under the ownership of Performing Arts Academy.

Bathrooms were clean which was great as I had to make frequent use of them! The tap though is rather cold and the water truly runs for an eternity!

The acoustics were on point, band was in sync & the background vocalists were in tune. All Jill had to do was open up and sang! And did!!! I didn't like people standing up blocking views. It almost ruined the show. Nothing wrong w/enjoying yourself but be respectful/mindful to everyone around you. There were no phones or smart glasses allowed. I get it but I think it's overkill to a certain degree. If you say no phones, stand on it at the start of the show & just escort people out that don't comply. The refreshment prices were ridiculous! I paid almost $60 for two cocktails, a can of water & a box of candy. Lesson learned, if you know what I mean... We had a blast & blew some cash... #GoSee

Also, you can find parking on the street. We came here to see Alantiss Morsiette Jagged Little Pill Musical. You can immediately go in the building and ther is a nice lady welcoming you and directing you to go upstairs or use the elevator for the show. There are bathrooms on the first floor and a wonderful art gallery as well. Going up the stairs in a spiral and on the second floor there were 2 entrances. Make sure to ask where your seat is for the right door to go in. There is plenty of seating with a table outside the theater. While in the theater it was small, but intimate as well. There wasn't a bad seat in the theater. There are no flat seating on the floor just goes up so all can see the stage. You can see and hear the actors clearly. There was a 15 min intercession and you can use bathroom on 1st and 2nd floor. They had drinks soda, beer and cocktails, but not too much of a menu. They also had some candy as well. It wasnt much of a selection. Everything went well and best part you could meet the actors after the show as they were outside with any meet and greet or questions. Would come back again and see a musical. It's not big like broadway audience seating but definitely some great shoes here.

The people working in the box office are amazing. Recently, I had a ticket for Jagged Little Pill, but unfortunately something came up and I could no longer attend on that day. Thinking I had nothing to loose, I visited the box office in person and explained my situation. They were so kind and understanding and exchanged my ticket for a different day. The people working at the snack cart are always polite and remain calm and professional when things get hectic. Unfortunately, the staff working the doors always ruin in the perfect experience for me. I once tried to open the theater door, not realizing it was too early. The woman at the door literally yelled at me that it wasn't open. Maybe it's because I'm a woman coming by myself and a little younger than the usual crowd, but not once have I been offered a program. I'll walk in with the crowd and everyone else is offered a program, but me. I see the women happily offering all the men and couples a program but they just glare at me, and I have to make a point of asking for one. This is not a one off situation. I'm in the theater now, ready to watch The Glass Menagerie, and it just happened again. Please speak to these people. Maybe have those working at the box office, or snack cart explain to them how to treat all patrons with respect and courtesy. One more thing. Please consider adding a message when people purchase tickets to refrain from wearing perfume or cologne when they attend a production. Maybe also post signs when people walk in? Many of us are sensitive to strong scents. I've had to change seats a number of times due to someone around me wearing too much perfume or cologne. Thank you.
