Aside from learning an impressive amount of dance moves in a few days that can be filmed to look decent, the kids also have playtime midday including water play on Fridays. After care runs as late as 6 but my daughter was mostly just watching Disney movies with the very nice girl watching her, not much else was going on. Main con was that the camp was one of the most expensive ones per week compared with other camps locally with similar hours, including themed ones (eg hiller aviation). Also it was really hard to retrieve the video of kids' dances - it's hosted on canva and there's no way to download the hard file. Aside from that, my daughter had fun and we hope to do it again next year.

There is something confusing about the discussions regarding the Diablo Light Opera Co & Diablo…read moreTheater Company. They were one and the same. Originally named DLOC in 1959 when they formed a company performing Gilbert & Sullivan Light Operas. Eventually they changed the name to Diablo Theater Co.

Poorly organized and your kid better have thick skin…read more Disappointed in the summer camp program (can't comment on the regular school year classes). To sum up: 1) a stressed instructor trying to put on a play with 25 kids in one week at a cost of good vibes and empathy; 2) unprofessionalism due to an overlooked conflict of interest and 3) poor communication. This combo resulted in our 6-year old, who loves acting and singing and was very excited about this camp, on day 3 refusing to finish the 5-day camp. As confirmed by the instructor, she lost her role in the play, which she really wanted and loved, because she started crying and had a hard time stopping. There wasn't enough time (or empathy) to deal with tears, so our daughter was sidelined. To the point of unprofessionalism - the meltdown was triggered by a perceived ongoing unfairness of favoritism with the teacher's kid, during games and when participating in the play. A good example - a number of other kids (not ours) had wanted the lead role, so it was "auditioned," with the teacher's kid going first and being given the lead role by her mom, a clear conflict of interest and easily avoidable. Then because of poor communication, it took two days to talk to anyone to understand why my kid was removed from her role. The contact number takes one to voicemail, and then a full day to get a callback. So our daughter tearfully urged us that she didn't want to go back anymore (and we didn't make her).

I feel that he really wants you to become better as an actor and really pushes your ability. Not only that, he is a great screen writer and producer and really tries to get your skills up to bar and even invites you into his production. I mean, its GREAT! I am receiving very personalized acting techniques, the ability to get camera, video, green screen, monologe, improv, shakspeare, etc etc. When I got into acting, I wanted to give myself the best opportunity to learn so I could give myself the best shot. I feel with his personalized atmosphere, the drive of his coaching, and the opportunities that he presents for you, there is not anything better out there. I highly reconmmend this school and open up parts of yourself and let yourself follow your dreams:)
