There are some amazing things about this theatre space…read more I love the way the doors can slide open so on nice Orlando nights it's like an open air entrance. I love how beautiful the stairwell is going up to two. I love how much they have expanded their food and beverage line up over the years. The sound tends to be pretty good, the communication from the theatre is always amazing. They waive fees if you come to the box office to buy your tickets. The seats are comfy and almost every seat has a solid view. The box seats are the exception so be warned. The volunteers are always amazing and they are so nice. It would be cool if they opened a second location that served coffee because that line for espresso beverages is always really long. I love the breadth of show types. There's always something for everyone.

Wednesday, March 18, 2026…read more Front Row, Center Tickets to Ms. Diana Ross' Concert Performance I've been to numerous events at the Dr. Phillips Center but nothing beats having the opportunity to see a legend perform within arms-length to where you're seated. And when that "Icon of Icons" is none other than Ms. Diana Ross...well, nothing else need be said. It was a dream come true to say the least. In my most previous update of the Dr. Phillips Center I indicated meeting with and having my photograph taken with the incredible soprano Sarah Brightman was an entertainment highlight of 2025. 2026 has just begun but I will have to use the superlative "spectacular" once again. As in a spectacular show from start to finish. Diana Ross may be 81 years old!...but she still has the voice and ahem...the moves of a much younger performer. Just think of this, she was performing with the Supremes in the 1960's. I wasn't even born and by the time I was she had 12 number one singles with the OG of girl groups! And she is still working it to this day. Ms. Ross sung a multitude of her hits which kept the crowd, and my sister and I, dancing and singing throughout the evening. However, when she started to belt out Gloria Gaynor's anthem "I Will Survive" that really got the audience out of their seats. An Icon singing and Iconic piece of music is an experience second to none. Ms. Ross, you and your mark on music history is unmatched...blessings to you and your family!

Loved Shauna's CAST class, for commercial acting. It was over Zoom this year, but I still think it…read morewas worth it. It was filled with tips, tricks, and just a fun time! I can say I have the confidence to go out and try to start booking now! At the end of the class, Shauna helps you find an agent and does a taping for you, which is great. She has been in the industry for a long time and knows everything about it! Its great to have a local and genuine teacher, not one of those scam places you hear advertising on the radio lol! Take the class if this is something that interests you and you will not regret it!

I'm a graduate of both core classes of Cast Studio Orlando. I highly recommend each one…read more As a relative beginner, CAST took me step by step, week by week, into what it takes to be CAST in commercials. This class prepares you to walk (or ZOOM!) into any audition feeling confident in your knowledge of the protocols, etiquette and expectations... no matter if you're required to "just react", eat on camera, actually speak - or possibly all 3! You learn that you may be CAST solely on your look, your age range or a host of other things that have very little to do with actual talent. Your professionalism, or lack thereof, can really stand out in the CASTing process. ACT exposes you to the process of developing your ACTing skills. You'll learn how to examine a script, develop a character and bring LIFE to a scene. Numerous class exercises demonstrate how your internal work and reACTions result in different outcomes, connections & moments on camera. A few things, I specifically appreciate: - Shauna was and IS a booking/working actor. - You see "on-camera" feedback ~every class. - Shauna is well prepared & starts class on time. (Believe it or not, it's an issue @other schools) - Although very interactive, she respects your investment & maintains control of the class. - She has endless antidotes to share and is humble enough to include her own "teachable moments" along with her success stories. Last, but not least, Shauna is well respected among area casting directors and agents, as well as other actors. As a result of her sharing video of our final class assignment AND my efforts to follow up - TWO agents asked to meet with me AND offered to sign me. Of course, no class or coach can guarantee any level of success for you... but I am proud to say, as someone who got a VERY late start, I am officially a working actor with an agent who believes in me... AND I continue to work with Shauna as an audition coach/videographer. Shauna delights in seeing her students grow & succeed... not only because of who we are... but because of who SHE is.

I sat in the class and watched while my friend, his wife, and their 5 year old daughter…read moreparticipated in this drama class. Most of the kids there were aged from about 3 yrs to 8 years old. It's a small class of about 13 kids. The instructor is very high energy, like she was not only in plays in school, but also a cheerleader. The teacher would set up a story and then show the kids how to use their body language and voices in that stories setting. She kept it very fun, lighthearted, and entertaining for everyone. For example she would say something like; how do you react if you walked in the kitchen and saw the pet dog had made a mess with the trash which is now all over the floor. And they would reply back some like like, "Oh no!" And the teach would have them verbally say it very loud, and use their hands, arms, and body movement to also express that type of emotion from the kids. I think the classes are about 3 times per week, and about 1 hour each session, and they are held normally about 4pm or 5pm. The teacher also has another adult assistant there to help the kids learn the art of acting. The teacher also has the parents get involved and assist their kids was needed. So the whole family has a fun, silly time learning drama. Part of the class the parents are not needed, so most of them go next door to the bar and eat some snacks or get a drink while they're waiting on the class to end. This seems like a very nice class for young kids to take.

My husband and I stumbled across this venue by chance and the same day stopped in to see a show. We saw a Saturday afternoon show of The Pirates of Penzance. It started at 4pm and although we arrived at 4:05pm there was no problem getting tickets and quickly seated. The show cost only $30.00 per person and after seeing the performance I belIeve that it was way under valued. The performers were amazing and their costumes were beautiful. There was a seventeen piece orchestra playing along with a cast of twenty three. Now that I know that it is here I will be visiting the Clermont Performing Arts Center often. They have several exciting shows coming up.

Here with my Red Hat Society Ladies to see Wreck the Halls, a Christmas themed play. I didn't know…read morethere was a theater here so I'm pleasantly surprised. It's a short walk from several restaurants and bars so you can park in one of the large parking lots. I loved the sitting area in the lobby. Intimate seating behind large picture windows.

"From My Hometown" is, without question, the hottest ticket in Central Florida…read more If you haven't secured a seat yet, do whatever you can to get one. This production delivers a level of entertainment that surpasses anything I've seen at Dr. Phillips. The show transports you to a time when confidence felt earned, ambition was fueled by self‑belief, and the dream of success pulsed through every city street. Three cousins reunite unexpectedly in 1970s New York City, each chasing their shot at rhythm‑and‑blues stardom. Having been in NYC during that era myself, the musical stirred memories of a time when music wasn't designed to shock--it was meant to lift the spirit, soothe the soul, and move you from the inside out. This show captures that perfectly. From the moment the curtain rises, the audience is swept into a world that never disappoints. By the end of the evening, you realize you've been entertained more deeply than any amusement park or theater in the region could ever promise. If the spirit of James Brown, Otis Redding, or Jackie Wilson can be felt anywhere today, it's on this stage. Absolutely loved it.
