My daughter has been going to Masterworks for 7+ years. She loves going because of the friendships…read moreshe has made BUT in my opinion, there is a HUGE problem with the audition process. IF you take voice lessons from them, your child will get a lead role EVERY TIME. The same handful of children for EVERY PERFORMANCE. In other words, you must pay extra for them to get a lead role and it's very obvious. I'm not saying my child is THE best, but well qualified for a lead role "once in a while". After every performance, they tell us what a great job she does and that they "would really love to see her take voice lessons with us". I refuse to "buy" her a lead role. She takes voice lessons elsewhere with a professional and has a great voice so that is not the issue. The issue is that we aren't paying Masterworks. A lot of times after an audition with 20+ kids, within a couple hours they send out an email with the roles which only confirms that the roles were already decided on. I'm not sure why they even hold the auditions. Very disappointing and would change to another theatre in a heartbeat if not for my daughter. She loves her friends and is okay with and understands their process. She just tells me to not pay extra for her a lead role!

Do not let your child go to this theatre company if you care about their self esteem. This is by…read morefar the worst theatre company I have had the displeasure of working with. To start, they overprice all of their camps and classes and that is the least of their problems. Personally, I am confident in my singing and acting. I believe and have been told by multiple people (family, friends, and professionals) that I am very good and have a true talent. With masterworks you can get good roles by being good but you truly will only ever get leads if you take their voice lessons and pay more money (the voice lessons doing you no help at all if not making you sound worse). I never got a lead and they straight up told me it was because I did not take voice lessons with the company. Second, these teachers are probably some of the most dreadful, insensitive people I have ever met. I recall one of them saying and I quote "I wanted to slit my wrists" referring to a run of a part of a show. This type of language and behavior and saying things like this should not be used around children and quite frankly should not be used at all as some people (myself included) can be triggered by this type of negative talk. I could go on and on about how horrible my experience with this company was but I will just end with this, do not support this company if you value your worth as a person, they will only belittle you and make you feel bad about yourself unless you pay them more money which trust me, will make you worse at acting, singing or whatever it is you want to achieve.

I'd definitely check this out if I were hosting a small wedding reception or holiday party in the area. Apparently they host art and music classes for people of all ages, which sounds awesome. They also host art exhibitions at regular intervals -- local art is so cool! I hope to check them out again soon!

I visited today with my little one. It was an attractive building in a former mill downtown. It…read morelooked like they had a good number of classes for adults and some for children as well. I was a little disappointed in their community-wide Halloween party. Their press release specified that children should be pre-registered for the party online; however, the software in use on the website would not allow for registration and gave no reason why when I tried to pre-register. I found out today that this was because the party was full. I found it strange that no mention of first come first served was mentioned in their press release, and their software did not specify that enrollment in the event was full. Maybe this was their first Halloween party for the community, and the kinks will be worked out next year. I think that since it is a party for pre-schoolers and an hour is about the attention limit for most preschoolers that they should split the party into two slots. For a two-hour event, that would give all of the kids in the community an equal chance to participate. It would also prevent kids from having to be turned away and disappointed as my daughter and several other young ones were today.

A friend recommended Drawn2Art studio, and its philosophy "creativity follows mastery" strongly resonates with me. I took my daughter to the intro class, and she had such a wonderful experience that she did not want to stop at the end of lesson. She has been taking classes for 4 months now and learned a great deal about painting with chalk, pastels, watercolors. she was very excited this week because she will proceed to acrylic paint next time. I have been amazed at how much progress she achieved every week. My daughter loves her instructor, Ms Sceinowai. She is very knowledgeable and patient art instructor and knows how to communicate with sassy girls. I highly recommend this place to anyone.
