I've seen a few shows here my favorite being the Avett Bros. There isn't a bad view IMO and the…read moresound is great. As with the rest of the zoo structures the amphitheater is beautiful. Why the 3 stars you ask? The seats are absolutely horrific. Its a metal bench seat with a bar across your shoulder blades. Even worse the bar is reclined. So you're in this weird position with absolutely no back support while your butt goes numb. You are not allowed to bring in a bleacher seat and if you could it wouldn't fit in the tiny numbered space alloted per person. It would be better to remove the seats and have people sit on the ground kind of Red Rocks style.

Great place for a show. It's an older, beautiful stone structure. It's a smaller venue with great…read moresound. Seating is folding chairs on the floor and benches in the upper sections. There are plenty of places to buy drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcohol near the entrances. Security personnel and all of the workers at the drink stations were nice and professional. I would definitely go back to a show here.

Drink and snack prices are what you'd expect but the prices for any decent seats are up there. Parking is free. Which lets be honest is a huge plus these days! They have a new bar in the hall next door. I didnt go in so I can not comment on it. There are a ton of staff . I think they must have a minimum age of 90 to work there. They just kind of stand around and stare at you when they aren't directing. It is unnerving. The most disappointing thing is the sound quality. Its pretty awful. If you are seeing a play or musical there will most likely be times you have no idea whats being said. I dont mind seeing shows here but it could definitely be better. 3.5 stars

It ran the gamut from performing arts to pretty much any other kind of handmade art as far as the eye could see. Some of it was kitschy, some of it was forgettable, but most of it was astounding.

As a past student of this place, I was always tempted to write a review but never wanted to sound…read morebitter about my experience here. This place created many traumatic memories. To start, this is not a place for people of color. The owners, both Vicki Hartkopf and Emilia Hartkopf, have expressed racial comments during class. Continuously throughout the years both women have unprofessionally/ ignorantly talked about their political views in front of the students and parents. Emilia has even had the nerve to discuss her sex life within the classroom. The only thing this studio cares about is winning a gold trophy. They do not care about the wholeness of dance, cultural aspects, or the safety that is needed for dancers. I remember if the teachers disliked the shape of dancer's body, they bullied her to lose weight. They screamed if they did not see perfection in exercises and thought that using fear for their students was a way to discipline. Instead, this created so much anxiety and when I talk to those I danced with in the past, many of them never want to dance ever again. Miss Sarah was one of my teachers at the time. She was the only teacher who gave creative opportunity and voice to her students. She was the only teacher who explain the skeletal musculature of the body that students needed. As someone who still dances professionally, I suggest finding a teacher for your child who has studied the body and the history of dance extensively. I suggest finding someone who understands/ values culture and celebrates diversity. Lastly I suggest finding someone who will give your child voice and the opportunity to be creative. This place will only provide your child with stress.
