I forgot their names (so sorry) but the two workers there helped us so much, answered all of our questions, and tolerated us playing different guitars for a couple hours.

We had such a great experience, and I will for sure be coming back with any further issues and questions with my guitar journey! P.S. Go on a Friday since that's when the cool people are there :)

That's what got him a green card to go into America in the first place. He isn't nothing. Not just that, but he's open and gentle to all ages. You can come in your 90's and he will teach you at your level. Or, you can come at 8 years old and he will teach just for your consistency. He's great with kids because he's a great dad. Speaking of experience since I'm his oldest 11 year old daughter typing. Alex is so flexible and understanding. He puts you above of everything else. He's not one of those people who are strict and "practice 24-7!" My dad is unpredictable. Who knew he was a school country wide gymnastics champion? That he plays soccer, and basketball and loves exercising and animals. One more thing, he loves all of his students and if music isn't your strongest fit, like me... he doesn't give up on you. He tries extra hard on you until you get stronger and straight. This isn't asked by my dad to advertise for him, I promise. So... SURPRISE DAD! I recommend Alexander Rani.

I cannot say enough good things about this performance!! We absolutely enjoyed it. None of us had ever been to a Murder Mystery before so we were ready for something new! The 2 Cast members were amazing! They kept us entertained and laughing the entire time! At the intermission, they have coffee/tea and desert at the same time. We appreciated this because you're always too full to eat desert with dinner but this gave everyone plenty of time to be ready for the delightful carrot cake they provided. The 2 Stars also stood around after the event to talk to everyone and take pictures! I highly, highly recommend this event! What made it even more special was that I was able to take my 15-year-old also!

After that, I have to say things went off the rails a bit. For a start, this is the first "theatre" that had no stage. Not a small stage, no stage at all. We found ourselves, a group of 30-40 people crammed into a large room on the second floor with barely any room in July with AC so weak it was never below 76F. Then the show began. I was expecting a curtain to rise and a stage to appear, but sadly all the story and acting was done between the tables. I will say the acting ranged from surprisingly good to the obviously inispired acting of the audience members who decided to join in. The story was comedic and easy to follow, with references to Sherlock Holmes and even Indiana Jones. Sadly the heat and the terrible location without a stage made it hard to enjoy when the cast is constantly moving around. If they get a proper venue, I am sure they do wonderful things, but this was more like a test run. That I paid for.
