I believe our instructor's name was Hannah. She was extremely friendly, helpful, and encouraging. She brought great energy to the class and got everyone laughing and excited to paint! I love to paint and draw, I just don't have any real creative talent :) It was fun and easy to follow along and even find ways to make the painting your own. The studio itself had great vibes overall. I feel like the staff does a really good job of making the environment really fun and upbeat. There was fun music playing the whole time, which was really nice for painting and socializing. They had a decent selection of beverages, including wine, beer, cider, soda, and water. My boyfriend and I each got a glass of wine (I think they were $9 each), and then we ended up splitting a ginger ale later in the evening. We definitely got our money's worth with the wine, and it was really fun to be able to have a drink in hand while being an ~artist~. Overall, I had a really fun time during the class. I would recommend it to anyone and definitely want to return in the future.

Our instructor was fantastic--knowledgeable, engaging, and detailed in her explanations. She made sure everyone felt comfortable, regardless of skill level, and provided helpful tips throughout the session. The combination of sipping on mimosas while channeling our creativity made for a perfect evening. The step-by-step guidance allowed us to really connect with the process of painting, and I was thrilled with the piece I created. It felt great to express myself in such a fun environment. Overall, I left feeling inspired and relaxed. I highly recommend this event to anyone looking for a unique day or night out--whether you're a seasoned artist or a complete beginner, you'll have a fantastic time!

Since my daughter takes ballet lessons at the International Ballet Academy (IBA) she was given the opportunity to dance in the IBTs Nutcracker last year. It was very demanding (lots of rehearsals and shows) but just as rewarding. She had such a positive experience, she wanted to do it again this year. My daughter has been with IBA for 4 years and takes lessons from Ms. Alison who is a wonderful teacher (see my other review on IBA). She has also enjoyed taking lessons from Ms. Hiromi at IBT's Nutcracker rehearsals and looks forward to taking more classes from her at IBA next year.

Excellent for family members of the actors and stage crew, as well as younger ones that are new to the theater. It's a great space in which to learn theater etiquette, to watch a show, to dream. Parking available in the lot just outside the strip-mall-like building. No food/snacks allowed inside the theater; bottled water is okay. For the kids, by the kids.

The drama program for my kids is also nice. When Studio East started at Somerset they offered enrollment and we raced to get in on time. Anyone who has tried to get their kid into an after-school activity knows that it is the Thunderdome.... If the Thunderdome were waking up super early and refreshing a page over and over in the hopes that you beat all the other parents in entering your kid's information on time. My Mavis Teaches Typing powers must have been on point that morning. But when you do that race once, you don't have to do it over and over again. This is because they are supposed to offer priority registration to existing students so that they can have something resembling a continuity to their experience. Pretty important. But instead of that they just offered open enrollment again. It was a mistake. Their exact words were, "we didn't think it would be so popular, sorry" That's not smart, but I would never leave a 1-star review because of a mistake. I leave 1-star reviews when the mistake is brought to their attention and they not only don't fix it, but they say that they will do priority registration in the future. This means they have now made it COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE for my daughter to ever be part of the after-school camp in the future. If they fix this then I would remove this review. This is a very binary failure. --- They fixed it by adding a teacher. YAY to the company!!!

The Scene I was a guest here for a five year old girls birthday from 1-3 PM. The child's class was invited and it was a mix of girls and boys. The format was, sit in a circle, introduce each other, start practicing lyrics and gestures to a song. Kids all go to the bathroom as a group. Eat Pizza / Fruit / Cake. Parents stand in a line behind a table. Performance of two songs. Some observations: Some kids were warmer uppers, like mine. They suggested I could sit in the circle with my kiddo to help her get acclimated. We were 6 minutes late. I did sit for a bit, but had to move to a chair. I did suggest my kid go and talk to a teacher and that seemed to help. There were two boys who kept playing outside the circle and not paying attention and following the rules. I was a bit bothered by this and am not sure what should have happened. 1. I wondered why the parents weren't encouraging their kids to participate. Was it because they were boys? And boys don't need to participate and follow instructions? 2. Why weren't the teachers trying to encourage the boys to participate? Were they assuming that because this was Disney princesses they wouldn't want to? All in all, I can't see everyone ignoring two girls not paying attention and doing their own thing and distracting the group. I feel like boys should be looked after and encouraged just as much as girls. While yes, the parents should have maybe done something, in situations like this, I try not to jump in, and assume the people who are being paid to run a two our event can work to include everyone. Loved that they had all of the kids go to the bathroom. Smart. One of the teachers seemed new, and didn't quite know the songs, she was looking at the more experienced teacher most of the time for guidance. I could see this made the students not know if they should look at her, or look at the obvious leader. Thought they could have done one dress rehearsal before showing the parents. Only one boy participated out of a group of aprox 25. 5-6 boys stood there. To me, this is a failure of inclusion.

It is showing its age and could use some TLC on the seats but they do provide you with cushions. Also they have bug spray you can spray on for free. There is a small stand selling candy, popcorn and other items. Also they have a "mist sprayer" you can walk through to keep cool. One thing for older people is there is a steep winding hill you need to go down to get to the theater (not that long but still difficult for older folks - and you have to go back up at the end.) BUT they do provide a Courteous van that will take you down. They are next to impossible to get in contact with. Their phone is disconnected and they apparently can not access their Facebook page to respond to inquires. Found that very concerning since sort of looks like they are out of business. The scenery and customs for the play are simple but fun and the actors put their hearts in to it. For a inexpensive fun evening to take the kids to - and to see a good play - I would definitely recommend it. We took our 12 year old granddaughter and she enjoyed it.
