We love Rum River Art Center! My girls have been attending classes off and on for several years…read more The classes are informative, fun and reasonably priced. As someone with a background in early childhood education I am a bit picky and critical. I have high standards of educational programs and how to relate to children. This program not only meets but exceeds my expectations for quality. The girls have learned a lot and Larry is wonderful, patient, kind and knowledgeable. My girls always look forward to returning. I would highly recommend this to any family interested in art education.

Front Porch's biggest problem is nepotism and favoritism. Look at their cast lists and note that…read moreevery Hickle, Smith, and Lindeen is one of their grandkids. Tim and Linda cast them (as well as some other favorite actors) in the lead roles over and over. Professional actors do not even play this many lead roles in this length of time, let alone local middle and high schoolers. To demonstrate how obvious the favoritism is, look at one grandson's (Elias Hickle) roles in the last 6 years: Baloo, LaFou, Horton, George Banks, Tevye, Genie, Beast, Harold Hill, Triton, and more, not to mention their other grandkids with similar credits. He is over 18 now and can't be in the shows, but he is their studio and stage manager yet has no theatre degree, certification, or outside training, which is how many of their young staff and TAs have been chosen. Next is the cost. For one semester of Showtime!, FPMT charges about $400 per person (plus all their fees) and they have around 75 students = $30,000 in tuition. Tickets are $10-$14 and if they sell at least 1,000 each run = $10,000+. I don't know where all of this money goes because it doesn't go toward props. Even in most community theatres, they will supply the full costume with character shoes and all of the props for the show. Finally, Tim needs to stop yelling at the kids and Linda should stop overemphasizing smiling (see 1:40 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQXfq0lSd4A as an example of this pattern). If you have to push that hard to get the actors to smile, they are probably really unhappy. When you teach a cast correctly and treat them with respect, they will be more cooperative and act like they are enjoying themselves. Check out SOAR Arts, Cross Community Players, or Stages Theatre Company for some much higher quality theatre on the west side! Front Porch is highly problematic with its nepotism, overpriced tuition, and poor treatment of students.
