My son's only been attending for about 2 months. He seems to enjoy it. There was a brief moment…read morewhen I was unable to take my son in person and they provided me with a variety of options to maintain his lessons: in-person make-up sessions for a different day, live remote learning, or a video recorded session. They're heavy on texting which is fine with me. I ask a question, they're quick to respond. The staff are friendly too. They offer a variety of lessons. They want to celebrate your child (birthday, accomplishment, award, etc.) which is nice. As for the value, I think we're getting our time and money's worth. I think no matter where you go, time and money will be spent, but it's the quality and attentiveness that matters and so far I'm seeing that for my son.

We had my son age 3/4 enrolled in music fun time and he loved it! Our teachers were Ms. Leslie and…read moreMs. Pita (Lupita) both an absolute delight! Ms. Pita made us feel comfortable and right at home and she was so patient with the kids.She will truly be missed and is a wonderful addition to the school. He was registered for the 4pm class for 18months-2 years because that time worked out best for us for a while. Also most of the music fun time classes are geared toward teaching similar subject matter. Originally signing up, I thought this would be a fun and play type class... which it is, however they teach music theory and how to read notes and read music which is super beneficial. We had to leave because we are trying other extracurricular activities , however we will be back when he's ready to learn an instrument! Only con is i work until 4pm so , I wish there were more afternoon spots available for music fun time for his age. During the week *They have Friday 4:30 for 3-4 year olds (full) and 5:00 5-6 yr olds

We have been going to the Christmas Show put on put the extremely talented Haugh Performing Artists…read morefor many years now. My brother-in-law buys these tickets A YEAR IN ADVANCE. He is a little obsessed with Christmas and the Citrus College Theater but why not?? The theater is beautiful and comfortable, complete with a symphony pit that rises up and down. It is a beautifully modern building with its entrance flanked by a couple vertical mosaic tile "pictures" of trees, one of which is my cell screen saver I liked it so much. See picture. The production is about 2 hours plus about a 15 minute intermission, not too long, not too short. And the intermission breaks the show into two parts, the choir and bells performance of the Citrus Singers first followed by the year's Christmas play complete with appearances by Santa and Mrs. Claus. I'm a 52 year old man and I thought I'd never say this but the choir and bells performances are wonderful. Maybe I'm getting old! No, seriously, they performers are fantastic and I absolutely love how the director and his assistant (?) vary the songs ever year with new and creative arrangements. They even did a mashup kind of thing with overplaying verses of two classic Christmas songs. It is truly amazing how the performers remember all the nuances and keep up with zero .mistakes year after year. My absolute favorite part of the first part of the show is when the director adds some comedy into the mix and has the new performers overemphasize their lack of experience and how the senior performers are rather blasé about giving yet another performance year after year. Come on, that's funny! Oh, and how one performer sits and waits to play her one bell note. Okay, it's cute. I also like how they've added some very creative percussionists and dancers at the end of the first half, too. This year's play is called "Christmas is..." and as I type, you've got 3 days left to see it! It is a very cute and creative play involving performers playing various candy bars you know and love as the plot thickens in the Land of Candy. I will leave it at that so as not to give too much away. Again, the length of each performance is perfect because I tend to get antsy. My kids (13 & 16) also loved it and look forward to the play every year. Tickets range from a very reasonable $17-$35 and I think you'd have a good seat anywhere although my BIL always chooses the front or 2nd rows. We also went to see a Rock Band do cover songs back in February this year and it was also great and you can see that my son absolutely loved every second of it. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND for some near professional quality theater.

Have been going to a lot of live shows lately. We recently saw a Whitney Houston tribute: "Greatest…read moreLove of All" featuring the amazzzzing Belinda Davids. We had front row and everything about the evening was perfect. The venue is located on the campus of Citrus College (Glendora). Pretty typical of a venue...clean, spacious, welcoming staff and I saw that there is very generous legroom between each row so you're not packed in like sardines. Each row seemed a bit stacked so sightlines are also good. I would say it holds 1000+ patrons. Tip: free parking if your show is an official part of their calendar! It seems that they do have some well-known performers from time- to-time. I would definitely return to this lovely local venue!

The non discriminatory culture, emphasis on equality, fairness throughout (to kids and staff), and empowerment skills taught and demonstrated to our children, are undeniable. As parents of 2 children, we appreciate a place and program that behaves as an extension of our household values/morals. The productions put on by TBE are impressive and are only getting better!! Thank you TBE for your contributions to our youth!!! Keep up the great work

I am blessed to have grown up in such an enriching, loving, and Christian environment. I have had…read morethe honor of growing up from a very young age as a student of Crescendo, to now teaching along side the best mentors and role models, Tracy Berry and Annie Jovellanos. The studio space itself is incredible! The lobby is clean and organized, the dance floors are sprung which is the safest type of dance floor to prevent injury, there are observing glass window doors to watch the students in action, and music rooms to hold voice lessons. They have an amazing staff, who truly care about each and every student and are amazing teachers who teach many genres: Tap, Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Lyrical, and Hip Hop; along with singing and acting. Crescendo's annual showcase is the main event of the year. The showcase is very professional and includes professional lighting, sound, and tech. It is amazing to showcase the work done by the students in a performance that is well organized and ran like a professional show! Along with the showcase, the studio holds auditions for summer musicals. We have kids and adults from all areas come out to be apart of an amazing production. I am blessed to say I have been apart of every single production for over 10 years with Crescendo Theatrical Productions, including our last production of Little Mermaid where we sold out the last weekend of shows. If you are into theatre, come join us on our next adventure! Crescendo also has a singing group called the Berrytones ran by the owner and director of the studio, Tracy Berry, and a dance group called Chrysalis ran by Annie Jovellanos. They are the the living example of the studio's motto "Developing God-Given Talents". The studio is a non-profit studio, and these groups perform at many non-profit events like cancer walks, senior citizen homes, and various churches. They encompass the meaning of what it is to be apart of Crescendo by being a family performing in His name. What makes this studio so different from other studios is the atmosphere. We truly are a big loving family, who honor God through singing, theatre, and dancing. Crescendo is my second home, and the friendships and lifelong memories is worth every moment I have spent at this studio. This studio is my family and I thank my parents for putting me into classes at such a young age. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else except for Crescendo. If you are looking not only for an amazing studio, but a family, Crescendo Performing Arts is the best place to put your Children in. I love this place and I will NEVER EVER leave it...

The VIP seats are small private room on the second floor, they have two of them as far as I saw. We had a small table for our food and drink orders for the comedy show.

Food is a bit overpriced. I would recommend, if it's not a long show, get the chips and fries with a drink for both. The comedy shows require a two item minimum. Otherwise, great time for all!

They manage to mix in funny jokes along with clues for you to figure out who did the murder. I would highly recommend seeing it. It's a great night out with good drinks and good food and a fun show.

All of the elements - the casting, the actors' voices, etc. were perfect. The overall show was, well, fantastic! When I left, my heart felt fulfilled. The play drew you in and made you a part of their world for just a few hours. Actors alone cannot do all of this. Great credit must be given to the piano player and the harp player behind the scenes, as well as the lighting staff. The Morgan Auditorium at the University of La Verne is an excellent venue for live theater. it is large enough to be comfortable, yet small enough to let you feel that you are involved in the production. This was my first visit to this theater. I was assured that the IVRT will be having future productions here. I will definitely be attending.
