Redlands Footlighters has a nice layout for their theatre and comfortable seats. My only issue is that some of the shows in their lineup for their seasons are super archaic and are aimed at older audiences. Personally, the Footlighters need fresh, diverse stories if they want to attract a younger crowd and more fans. Additionally, some productions seem more rushed than others. The mysteries are fun, it's just that more rehearsal is in order for some cast members. Merch is available in the lobby along with a small restroom. Keep an eye out for a interviewer who makes regular appearances. Make your voice heard!

The women my daughter has had as teachers have all been so wonderful and encouraging. The teachers have all shown so much passion for their art. They are patient and always make dance class fun. My daughter looks forward to dance class and always comes out with a smile. They recently had a small showcase that was so well organized and enjoyable and still took necessary precautions due to the pandemic. None of my daughter's classmates wanted to perform in the showcase but she was still able to dance. I was surprised she wanted to and I thank her teacher for giving her that confidence to dance it alone. We'll continue to attend LGSPA as long as my daughter is interested in dancing. I look forward to more dance recitals.

A local gem known to Redlands residents but not so much to others is the outdoor theatre on a hill…read moreinside Prospect Park that is perched over the San Bernardino Valley. This cultural resource was originally built and is managed and operated by the nonprofit Redlands Theatre Festival. Here in this small amphitheater, series of up to five live musical productions and plays have been presented to delighted audiences for almost 40 summers. Diane and I just enjoyed viewing the 2013 season debut of the very funny comedic musical "The Andrews Brothers," which involves three men posing as the Andrews Sisters of '40s fame during a USO concert. As always, the acting and singing were very professional and of high quality. This dramatic setting sports good sight lines to the stage below from any of the individual fold-down plastic seats. While there is no center aisle, the concrete rows in front of seats are spacious enough to allow spectators to remain in their seats as other attendees pass by. Stage lighting is good, and acoustics are excellent. This sculpted bowl setting is not particularly large, but it still comfortably seats about 800 theatre goers in close proximity to the stage, creating an intimate relationship and palpable rapport between actors and audience. Despite taking place during the hottest time of the year, all productions begin at 8:30 p.m. So, the outside temperature is usually in the low 80s. A brightly decorated festival tram is available to take theatre goers up and down the hill. But one can walk instead to get a good workout if he or she wishes. And, once again I did. But this time not by choice. After pointing out to Diane as we rode up the hill in the tram how steep the incline was and how lucky we were not to have attempted the uphill climb, as my bad luck would have it, just as we reached our car below after an easy downhill walk right after the production ended, we noted that a camera and binoculars did not make the return trip. For, I had left them behind in a bag under my seat. I felt rather stupid, but paid for my negligence with a near-breathless quick climb to the summit, and a return walk to the car as soon as a festival staffer handed me my bag, with camera and binoculars still inside, just as I reached the top of the theatre steps. I didn't say a word before the lady thrust my possessions at me. She just knew they were mine, declaring, 'You look like a man on a mission." I thanked her for safeguarding my goods, and she replied, "I've got your back!" This was very good, since this was the second time in a month that I left my camera outside in a public place, having to rely on honest employees to make up for my absentminded-ness. The last time was on an outdoor bench at BJ's. I realize the third time may NOT be the charm, so I need to pay much better attention to my valuable personal possessions.

So I signed them up! I highly recommend this place. I've only interacted with the two men and a lady online to ask questions and every time I have seen them they have been very friendly and welcoming to myself and children.

This studio is a mess of disorganization and unprofessionalism. On multiple occasions, classes have…read morestarted late or been completely canceled, often without advance notice to parents. Children have been left sitting in the lobby for the entire class hour with no communication whatsoever. And no, this wasn't a one-time fluke--it's happened more than once in just a few months. Similarly, instructors find it acceptable to gossip with the children about other instructors, management, and parents who have left and returned to the studio. Apparently, it's considered disloyal to leave one studio, try out another, and then return. Still, they will gladly take your money and talk unfavorable behind your back to everyone, including the other minor students. When I approached the front desk, hoping for clarity on the recurring late and nonexistent class with one particular instructor (and maybe even a solution), I was met with a wall of excuses. Apparently, according to the desk staff, it's "common in the industry" for dance instructors to show up late or not at all. Attempts to de-escalate the tone of the front staff were futile, as they were in fighting mode from the start--a sign that this must be a constant defensive state due to ongoing operational issues. Another strategy - an attempt to escalate the issue or speak to the owner was blocked. I was refused contact info and told the owner couldn't be disturbed to come out of their office. Rather than acknowledging the issue or offering any kind of apology, the front desk doubled down with blame-shifting and illogical reasoning. My personal favorite was the suggestion that it's the child's responsibility to call their parent if class is cancelled (20 minutes after they are dropped off), because "many six-year-old students have phones these days." If that's your communications protocol, it might be time to rethink your business model. I was told refunds would not be issued (even though none had been requested), no attempt was made to rectify the situation, and no one took responsibility. There were simply more excuses piled on top of indifference and anger at being bothered by this disturbance, daring to have an adult conversation about an issue concerning a place where I take my child for education and care. To the owner: If you're reading this, please understand that you may have some excellent instructors - one which apparently left recently because of all the drama. But those instructors--and your studio's reputation--are being undermined by front desk staff who seem more invested in deflecting blame and stonewalling than in supporting your students or maintaining basic professionalism. Parents and kids notice. And they talk.

Definitely not for everyone!, It's a big commitment for your kids and your family but definitely the best for your child if they wanted to do competitive. I absolutely love that they do give you time off for the holidays and vacation and summer break. We're so looking forward to the next season.
