My 13 year old daughter has been at CPAA for about a year and a half now. Prior to that we were at…read morea classical ballet studio which she absolutely loved. When we switched due to moving, my daughter was at first upset because at age 11.5 she was about to start pointe at the other studio. What I really loved right away was how she was immediately evaluated to see if she was even ready for pointe. Ms. Shannon did a fantastic job explaining in great detail where my daughter had a few weaknesses in her ankles, and proper body alignment. She was given detailed notes on how to strengthen and correct things to get her ready to start pointe. As a mom new to dance all together, I would have never known this if I let the other studio just put her on pointe without evaluating to see if she is truly ready. My daughter really took a good understanding of this and followed the instructions to work hard to get herself strong enough. The process may have taken a little longer but we both felt so happy knowing she wouldn't be putting her body at risk by rushing into it. Now she's on her third pair of pointe shoes and progressing more and more every class. We are so happy here and love all of the staff. I'd highly recommend checking it out if you're comparing other studios. My daughter is very happy we switched after all. She's making new friends and loving the variety of classes too.

Back in September, I coordinated a group of almost 20 guests to attend "Trouble Man: feat. l Young" on October 4th. On the 1st, I tried to add more guests to our party but the event was no longer listed on their website. On October 2nd, we were provided unfortunate news that our show on October 4th had been cancelled as one of the female vocalists coming from out of town had caught pneumonia, and that sales of that particular show with 3 days to go were extremely low. But Margi was very communicative, and had processed our refunds in a timely manner, and was an absolute pleasure to deal with when I spoke with her to purchase our group tickets. I would patronize OTC again without hesitation, and look forward to seeing a future performance there. Kudos to OTC for amazing box office staff!

Greetings are personal and sincere. We saw a completely relaxing and well staged Christmas play, The Doll Maker. Our group ranged in age from 11 to 75. We loved it to a person! If you are interested in an experience that is the opposite of large, crowded, crazy parking- problem venues, this little gem is "the ticket." A final note: It does feel good to support smaller, local businesses. We were pleased to meet one of the owners, Douglas. But then, I think he personally greeted almost everyone who attended. Well done, all.

One of my favorite things about coming here is bringing a picnic and sitting on the Great Lawn. They provide lawn chairs, and I bring a blanket and picnic basket to make a night of it. It's such a fun and unique experience. They also have food and drinks available for purchase, including alcohol, which is convenient since outside alcohol isn't allowed. The productions are always impressive and so well done. The talent, sets, and overall quality consistently exceed expectations. Parking is pretty easy, with a couple of large lots available. The only minor downside for me is that I haven't loved the food options this year as much as in the past, but I still appreciate having them available. Overall, this is one of my favorite venues in North County and a place I'll keep coming back to year after year.

We always brought picnics and shared with our group in the past. It can get chilly but we've always brought blankets and jackets so it's not too bad. This last time I went for the play Cher. My friend reserved us a table and we ordered food. I had heard so many great things about the grilled cheese vendor that had been there in years past so I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, they are no longer there, so that was a bit disappointing. The choices are limited and prices are pretty high for what you get with the new vendor. So, I'll either eat beforehand or bring my own to future events. Otherwise, all the plays I have seen have been colorful and well done. The bands have been fun presenting a wide variety of music. It usually sounds pretty good too. I will definitely be back for future events and performances.

Avo Playhouse is a repurposed movie theatre in Vista...a very cool revitalized area with quite a few restaurants and at least 3 breweries within just a couple blocks. We saw the Beatles tribute band "Ticket to Ride". Our tickets were reasonably priced and the venue is small enough (seating for under 400) that there really aren't any bad seats. As a bonus, I was really happy that the bathrooms were large and clean. Only real disappointment was that there were no refreshments. It would be nice to have something simple, maybe just water, coffee, and tea? Definitely worth going back! BTW there's lots of free parking nearby.
