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).

Where else are you going to get a 2 hour show for less than a price of a movie (and your hard earned $ goes to a good cause - scholarships!). Each show is unique as its being created right then and there - this makes every improv show a high wire act - but BBI delivers sans safety net. Also several times a year BBI teaches workshops, and these are the most bang for your buck in the entire bay area - dont believe me? Do your own comparison (and let me know - cause seriously you WILL NOT find a better deal). Disclaimer: while i may be a bit biased - as I've been a part of BBI shows and workshops on more than one occasion, i'm also better informed :-)

You look around and find what you want to paint, pick and choose your colors, brushes and water bowls to clean your brushes. Find a comfortable spot to start and then do it.

I recommend this place to be yourself and do something for yourself that makes you happy. The staff is great and you will have a good time.

Most camps run four days a week, and each week has a specific theme. Some of this year's themes included Cartooning and Toy making, Sculpture and Architecture, Fashion Design and Textiles, and Drawing and Painting. There are also private lessons and classes at other times of the year, though we haven't done any of those yet. The owner/instructor, Susan, is a sweet and energetic teacher. She's great at bringing out the best in her students. The student ages seem to cover all grades up through high school. I'm sure adults can join, too, but in the summertime they will definitely be outnumbered.
