Wow, what a cool venue! Kinda has an old school club vibe in an intimate setting. Dark yet well lit…read morewith strategic lighting and of course, (Sammy) Red featuring prominently. Opened on time, with quick security screening. There was a merch section and restrooms (spotless) located in the lobby. We had general seating tickets, so we had the freedom to choose where we sat. And what choices there were! The seating is varied and allows for comfortable seating for everyone. Whether you're in a large group, want a cozy high top for two, a counter seat to chat bar style with others, or want up close and personal floor access, there's a spot for you. There's even balcony seating! The sound system was clear and well balanced. My friend mentioned he would've liked it a little louder. Indeed, it was a "comfortable" volume. Our waitress was quick and friendly. She was fair, in that she told us up front they charge for water (I think it was 6 bucks). She said sometimes customers get upset about that. Our drinks were good and the price was about what we'd expect at a venue. We didn't order food, but the plates traveling by us had appealing presentation and smelled delicious! My first time here, but I'll certainly jump at the chance to come back!

I recently walked into Laura's Dance Academy wanting to inquire about a schedule to possibly sign…read moremy 4 year old son up for tap classes. My son has been asking to start tap and being a resident of Fontana, this would be the nearest dance studio. So if this would be the closest opportunity to being a dance mom since I only have sons and no daughters, I though "why not". Upon entering, I noticed a very stale smell. This is a very small studio and the front desk/reception area was in the same room as the actual dance floor. Right away I thought, okay, this is obviously not going to cost me an arm and a leg, which was ok considering I wouldn't want to shell out a ton of money only to find out my son hates dance lol. The receptionist looked to be about 13 years old and couldn't show me a schedule when I asked. She called the owner over who asked what I needed. When I explained I was inquiring about a schedule to possibly sign my son up for tap dancing lessons. She immediately responded with "I'm not sure about putting any boy in an all girls class. Try a park and rec class instead". Obviously, in shock, I said "okay?", and left. Discrimination??? I think so. Save yourself the trouble, and find a better dance studio. I've been a dancer most of my life and finally have a chance to discover if my passion has transferred to my child, only to be shown the door. I will never consider this place again and will urge others not to consider it either. Horrible!

My son has been going to Valverde for 2 years. He started taking musical theater 1. He decided he…read morewanted to take more classes and improve his skills. He's now taking 6 classes!! (Musical Theater 1, Musical Theater 2, tap 1, tap/ballet , jazz and HipHop)He went from a boy with anxiety to this confident performer. He was in his second musical Mary Poppins this past weekend. To see him perform with the biggest smile made me cry. He was confident and was so excited about the show. The show was AMAZING!!!!!!!!It's been great watching not just my son but many of the cast members just grow in theater. Thank You Mr.Frank and Mrs.Yesenia for bringing out the best in my son. He himself thanked them after the show for teaching him the songs and the choreography. All his teachers are all wonderful , Mrs.Megan , Miss. Larissa, Miss. Jenna, Miss. Jack , thank you ALL for not giving up on my son. A special shout out to Miss. Jack. Andrew wanted to try tap. Since the class has been practicing for a few months Andrew felt discouraged since they were already learning the song that they will be performing on the summer showcase. After trying the class he didn't want to continue since he was just starting and felt lost. Miss Jack told him she sees his talent and he can do it. She told him to come back the next week and try again. He tried again and he felt that he couldn't do it. Miss.Jack told him to think about it , she believes in him, if he still don't feel comfortable he can enroll after the summer showcase and start from the beginning. She was very sweet to him. On our way home he decided he wanted to continue!!! His words " mom , Miss.Jack believes in me. I want to take her class , I can do it " He's doing amazing. She knew how much he did want to take her class and encouraged him. I can't wait to see him on stage in June for the summer showcase. I also want to give a shout out to the parent volunteers.They're very helpful, it was so nice to hear from them how Andrew has grown so much in theater. Another shout out to Kyle , the front receptionist for being helpful and answering my million questions haha. Us parents don't just cheer for our kids we cheer for all the kids. I am thankful I found Valverde. They have help mold my son in this confident , happy , positive young performer. Can't wait to see him continue growing in theater !! If you are considering this studio , give them a call. Your child can try a class for free. Everyone there is wonderful!

And with my last visit to the 2023 Nutcracker show, it was nothing but splendid! The performance center itself is part of the Riverside Community College, so depending where you will park, you might get to walk around the campus. There also could be a flight of long stairs or just a flat walk towards the main entrance. Staff here are also really helpful and nice, and I'm sure they are the same for all the different shows they have here. Inside the auditorium, it reminds me of a large lecture hall: with those wooden, collapsable chairs...just felt like being in college again! Which was cool. The stage and its lighting system is amazing and the stage will be lit up just perfectly for any show. I really enjoy coming here and who knows, maybe I'll come back for another show!

The Theater is large with 1500 seats and a professional stage that I hear is about to get some major upgrades. It's obvious that a lot of effort has gone into making this storied stage something special. Simple concessions from a local club from campus were nice and just the right price. Tickets for into the woods was just $16.00 with a $5 discount for advanced purchase, an amazing bargain! Into The woods was fantastic, clever, and massively entertaining with a superb cast. The Sets and lighting crossed between professional and campy, just perfect for such a fun show.

Been coming off and on for about 11 years now. The show always starts when it gets dark and has an incredible cast each year that sing and dance. This year it is the 50 year anniversary and they are performing The Wizard of Oz. My family likes to get in line pretty early and hour or two before. We bring a blanket and eat dinner in line in the grass. The kids run around until the doors open. The weather is almost always perfect but it gets pretty nippy as the evening goes on. The show is a couple hours long and has an intermission half way through it for rest room breaks. You can bring your own snacks or buy from JU. They sell at a reasonable price and have every snack you can think of. You can even rent a little cushion to sit if you think your butt will get tired of the concrete seating. We always just bring blankets to sit on. You can meet the cast and crew after each performance and take pictures or get autographs. This is a great tradition that San Bernardino has every summer. Cheap and entertaining. Definitely need to check it out if you have not yet.

This is a small, old live performing arts theatre. I quite like it though because it's local to me, convenient to get to, and the parking has been good, never congested or difficult to access when entering or exiting. The only thing I don't like is the restroom. There are only two stalls and that just doesn't do when there's a mile-long line for the restroom during the intermission times. It would be nice if that part could be remodeled at the least. As long as there are productions that I will find interesting, I'll definitely keep coming here!

I arrived about thirty-five minutes early as I wanted to make sure there was enough time to find parking, retrieve my tickets, and find my seat. It was also my first time visiting this theatre. Ive made my way to will call to pick up ticket. A lady came out with prepaid tickets; I gave her my last name and she found my ticket right away. I didn't get her name but she was personable and kind. She was also very funny as we laughed a bit before I walked away--there was a big crowd of people that formed a queue behind me. Making my way to the entrance; I handed the lady whom was collecting tickets my ticket and she was very kind. They have a concession area for snacks and beverages. The theatre doors weren't opened just yet as showtime wasn't until 7:29pm, but the doors opened promptly at 7pm. I found my seat H-16 center which was nice and close to stage. The clock struck 7:15pm and the seats starting to fill in more with bodies. The production started right away but before it did there was an announcement that cell phones and beepers (yes beepers) had to be turned off--for everyone to sit back and enjoy the show. The show began and immediately it took me back as I remember growing up when the musical was released. I somehow remembered a few of the words to some of songs and found myself lip singing along: "We're all in this together Once we know That we are We're all stars And we see that We're all in this together And it shows When we stand Hand in hand Make our dreams come true" We are all in this together so let's make the best of life! This was truly an amazing show and all the actors and actresses were phenomenal--keep in mind that this show in particular was put on by the youth. I would like to return for an adult production. Nevertheless, it was a nice trip down memory lane. As I was exiting the theatre I found myself chatting with some people including the manager who was such a darling. I do my very best to always be in good spirits and this definitely added to it by sprinkling positivity all around. I left the theatre still lip singing: "Together, together, together everyone Together, we're there for each other every time" (Disney's We're all in this together, high school musical) "Let's do what we love and do a lot of it!" -Marc Jacobs
