My daughter especially looked forward to playing the theater games and participating in the improv exercises, which we were so fortunate to witness firsthand at the end of session showcase. She then worked in the next age group up with Andrew in the spring and had another great experience! After bouncing around to a number of theaters and acting programs on Long Island, we are so happy we found the Lawton Academy. Both Katie and Andrew have demonstrated a real vested interest in nurturing my daughter's love for the performing arts, and I am truly excited to see how she will continue to grow and develop under their guidance. I can't recommend the Lawton Academy highly enough.

They are in two different classes and Katie influenced my 6 year old so much. We find ourselves playing some of the games at home before bedtime. My 8 year old enjoyed working on remembering lines and performing with a partner he loved the friends he got to work with. The best part of both classes were the showcases where my family and I got to see their work. My kids do a lot of activities but the only ones I didn't have to fight them to go to were Lawton's acting classes. Highly recommend

I can load sets and props easily. The staff is really helpful in executing any of the content you want to create. I also like that the post production suites are updated regularly and useful if you wanna keep everything in house. I've done green screen projects, live streams as well as live broadcasting from their studio and the quality was on par with traditional broadcast networks. In fact, HBO has used them because they are that good. I really like using them and their rates are really fair.

They even have a boutique side where you may find names such as chanel and Burberry. The items change every year as they are donated. Someone else's gently worn and washed can be your new vintage find! I was lucky enough to still find some items with the tags on. Got a brand new Michael khors jump suite!

Vinimos hoy con dos amigos de mis hijos y usamos un Groupon para que pudieran usar el parque infantil cubierto y los inflables. ¡Fue una muy buena oferta! Pudieron jugar durante una hora y luego compramos dos tarjetas de juego de $25 cada una para que jugaran en las maquinitas (arcade).

One area is solely for Bouncing, throwing balls, climbing and another separate area on the other side of the building for jumping and playing in ball pits. They also provide laser tag games. There is a huge arcade and what I enjoyed, a mini bowling alley with 2 lanes. Everything after you pay to walk in, must be payed for using a card they provide. So you purchase credits to play all the games! It's a money maker for this place. Also you have a small store where you can exchange tickets for prizes. I think you know how that works, spending a big price on tickets for a small prize in the end. : s My son enjoyed the Jurassic world adventure shooting arcade game and likes the jumping area. I was able to go in for about 20 minutes until I was told by a young staff member there that his boss told him that Adults aren't allowed in that play area. Your miles may vary. W walks enjoyed the bowling alley. Again paid by putting credits on your card using a machine that takes cash debit and credit cards to exchange for points on the plastic card give by the Person at the front after your check in and sign a waiver for your child to protect their asses from any injuries your child may receive while playing there. Was it worth it? Yeah. Would I go back again, probably not. It's good way to kill some time with your kids. But other than that I wouldn't repeat it. My son did get some good exercise in. He's currently 9 years old. Happy jumping !

That's a win win in my book. Walking into the Tilles Center, there's bar area with a small platform stage. We enjoyed a jazz ensemble playing for the crowd before the main event. Once we had our cocktails and made our way to our seats, you can truly appreciate this beautiful theater. The acoustics for the music performance were perfect. The audio department had all levels tuned where we can hear the snare drum quietly exiting the song. It was the perfect night and with being on Long Island, there's no need to deal with the NYC tolls-parking-traffic on our way back home.
