The production of "Fences" which we attended was well produced, and directed. The staging and costumes were so well done they enhanced the overall power of the play.

The shows are time notch, and their directors like Kathy P., in a class by herself, she's just terrific! Every show I've seen there was well cast, had great props and was very entertaining. I go here regularly, bringing my theater group almost buying out the theater it's so popular. The group of us love their productions and their large lobby with a snack bar is great and very clean bathrooms. Not a bad seat in the house, and the stage is pretty large for a small community theater. It may be tricky to find, since they are located on the campus of a high school, but don't let that deter you. See you all next month for "Street Car Named Desire" and the following month, "The Whale" which is a great show!

It's a tent in a parking lot, folks....how good can it be? Well, once you walk in, you get that they spent some time, money and effort transforming it into a wonderful show place.

Lots of souvenir, snack and beverage choices...pricey, but available and clean portable bathroom trailers. Just a killer show at the conveniently located OC Fairgrounds.

She is such a pro, and her patient & encouraging nature made every lesson so enjoyable. My fiancee and I came in not knowing what to expect, but Madi tailored lessons to our experience & comfort levels.

We feel so confident now, are so grateful for Madi and our experience at Bella Ballroom!

We had the pleasure of working with Thomas for most of our sessions, and had a few classes with Nick as well, and they are both excellent instructors! Everyone loved our dance on our wedding day, but more than that, it was just so fun to practice our First Dance with the crew at Bella Ballroom leading up to the wedding! Hector and I have zero experience when it comes to dancing, but even from our first meeting, Thomas made us feel so comfortable, and made everything so fun! He broke things down in a way that felt manageable for us as beginners, but also challenged us to keep growing, and was always so encouraging and supportive! Nick was also a great teacher, and had so many fun jokes! They both worked with us to choreograph a First Dance that felt right for my Husband and I, and we absolutely LOVED the way it turned out. We even got to spend a few of our sessions working a little on some moves for my Father-Daughter dance, and even learned a little Salsa just for fun! Thomas also did a great job of getting us in the right mindset for our First Dance. I tend to be more shy, and hate performing in front of people, but by the day of our Wedding, I felt ready and confident to do our First Dance in front of all our guests, and everyone loved it!! Our guests were really surprised by some of the cool leans, dips, and the lift in the middle of our song! Hector and I have no regrets - we are SO happy we decided to do dance lessons at Bella Ballroom, and I cannot recommend them enough! They are all so friendly, professional, and encouraging, and our results were absolutely top notch! And honestly, it was just so fun to dance every week amidst all the stress of wedding planning... I'd recommend dance lessons for that reason alone! Seriously, make an appointment with Bella Ballroom and start dancing the way to your wedding!!!

As many of us know, Classical music is not for everyone, unless you have a special type of interest…read moretowards that kind of music. Classical music is something that I grew up with and still enjoy listening to until now. I can name a lot of my favorite composers from back in early 16, 17, 18 hundreds but I'd rather not. I listen to symphony/classical music with a different ear. It is always relaxing, soothing, and calming. Also, let me not forget to mention that I grew up playing the piano very well. That also has something to do with it. The Renée & Henry Segerstrom Hall is the newest addition to the Segerstrom Center for the Arts campus, opening in 2006. I have been to this place 5 times in my life. Each time that I have gone there has been a beautiful experience, top notch, in every way. Great location with so many dining options within walking distance & the Pacific Symphony are glorious, glamorous and amazing to listen to. This hall is GORGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL, & EXTRAORDINARY! It has 4 levels and no matter where you sit, you can see and hear the performance very clearly. The sound system is FANTASTIC!! I have seen/heard Itzhak Perlman, Scandinavian dance performance, couple of Jazz artists like Berry Perkins Bobby Rush, and few others.. On February 7th, a friend of mine invited me to the event "St.Clair Conducts Beethoven & Don Quixote". Tickets started at $33 and up. Our tickets were $108.00 each. I know, pretty steep, but, totally worth it. We were sitting in the orchestra level row U, seats 10 & 11. I can go on and on and on about this wonderful venue, the architecture of the building, but my fingers are now tired, so I will conclude my review by saying that staff are very professional, helpful, ushers will direct/escort you to your seats, parking is $20 and the rest I am leaving it to your own imagination. Pristine, super clean restrooms. Lights off, and enjoy the program:-)!! I wish this place was close to my city/home.

It's a great place to make friends or have a cheap date night. I watch at least 2 shows a month here. If you've never seen improv before, I'd recommend watching Teacher's Lounge, which performs the first Friday of every month at 9:30pm. They invite an interesting guest to tell true stories and the performers (who all teach improv) create longer scenes based on the stories we just heard. They offer improv classes. There is a drop in class open to all levels on Wednesdays, 101 classes offered a few times throughout the year, and advanced classes. It's not all improv. I've watched drag shows, a sea shanty night, and a fictionalized beauty pageant. The theater also hosts fundraising shows to support nonprofits. They're located inside the Starlight Theater. When you enter, make an immediate left to purchase a ticket or show your online ticket. There is parking in the front and the back (off McClintock Way). The theater has two restrooms in the back.

The theater is small and intimate - looked like they're prepping for Peter Pan, which added a fun touch to the atmosphere. The all-female cast was a standout! Super funny, fast on their feet, and clearly had great chemistry. I was laughing the whole time and the games were creative and entertaining. The vibe felt welcoming and community-oriented. One small suggestion: when asking the audience for ideas, maybe give women the first chance to respond- it'd be a nice nod to the cast. Tickets were super affordable ($5 cash / $7 card [we bought ahead on Eventbrite]). Highly recommend for a fun, low-cost night out!
