This place is simply amazing!…read more Sure, there might be fancier or bigger venues; but the Sara McMillan Brown Theater (which is home to Studio 1) is friendly, relaxed, and welcoming - much like it's namesake's reputation. And you ABSOLUTELY cannot beat the people who share their talents and their support. (And aren't PEOPLE what folks come to see anyway!?) There is nothing else like Studio 1 in the area. The programming is varied and refreshingly unique. You won't be finding "Oklahoma!" on the schedule, but you will find excellent period dramas, contemporary plays and musicals, underperformed and forgotten classics, musical reviews and recitals, and fun children's shows. Not only is it a place where you can see professional quality shows; but they also offer classes and workshops and other events for people to learn more about the performing arts, develop their skills, network with other artists, and community enrichment programs. They are very involved in the community - hosting fundraisers and other programs at parks, schools, and community events. They are active partners with The United Way and are affiliated with several other charitable organizations such as the animal shelter, disability programs, and senior centers. Studio 1 is more than just a place for taking classes or spending an evening out, it's an entire community of artists, teachers, patrons, and supporters. You would be very hard-pressed to find a more welcoming or inclusive place for lovers of the creative arts.

I must say i am a pure thespian and i have been very impressed by Studio 1…read more I first auditioned a while back, and i really enjoyed my experience. They make the audition process very easy for people. I wanted to write to comment on the Summer and shorts program. I wanted to say its superb. I am an actor in it. It is really great of Studio 1 to even have this program to begin with. I really applaud them for the way its run as a whole. Those kids are excellent, and i like what the company does for kids with disabilities. Most theater companies alienate kids for having a disability, but Studio 1 (this coming from the kids who im working with) dosnt. They allow them the same opportunity everyone else has. This is a really special company. Please buy tickets from them! Please audition for them! The staff is so great there! Thank you Studio 1 for this wonderful experience!

I loved the intimacy of the theater, but if this is the caliber of your productions, you need to enlarge it to accommodate a larger audience. We tried to get tickets to see it again and all performances were sold out. We look forward to seeing your future shows.

I am completely absorbed with every play, the writing and stage direction are wonderful, the sets are very artistic and well-made, the costuming is fabulous, and the actors and actresses are multi-talented, provocative, and brilliant. Whether it is their rendition of Steel Magnolias, or an original play written by Mr. Nierle, such as Ebenezer's Trailer Park Christmas Spec-Tac-Yule-R, this troupe of actors are the finest around and Nierle is simply inspired. OSCT has performed Off-Broadway, and that is exactly the sort of performance you will see with every production. I cannot recommend this theater enough. Go see!

Staff was huddled in the painting area. Kids were running around freely as to be expected. Just slightly disappointed with some of the zones. A lot of them were missing items that you would need to interact with and some just had a few items that looked like donated toys from goodwill. For what it's worth it's not a bad space to spend a couple of hours. But my kids got bored pretty quickly. Bathrooms were semi clean. But did have the tools needed for toddlers potty training. Overall not too bad. I wouldn't come here every week. Just once every now and then maybe.

Each individual area is designed for children's play and imagination but open enough for parents to keep an eye on children and more than one area at a time. Thus it is an easy place to take multiple children and have them enjoy the experience in a safe fun place. My only complaint was I thought we were doing a Father's Day gift, but it was just a card. One child chose to do it. The other child chose not to. I was disappointed as I paid thinking we were gonna make a cute little gift maybe a tiny bird house or something however, the children did have a good time and enjoyed themselves very for several hours.

The parking deck allowed for entry to the building from the 3rd deck. Elevators are available, however I took the stairs for a more scenic route. I didn't feel cramped, likely because I was seated on the end of a row. Even with a mostly full house, my view of the performers was not obstructed. I wasn't sure which dates would be available but was able to obtain tickets to the Wednesday show. From start to finish the staff was extremely helpful. It was nice to see an actor from some films I'd previously seen on a different platform. Though I didn't partake, the bar was stocked with small snacks & beverages, both non-alcoholic & alcoholic beverages. There was also seating on the second level above the bar area to relax or even grab a drink before the show.

The level of instruction at A.M. is incredible, and the shows they put on twice a year are nothing short of spectacular. I'm also so relieved and impressed with the measures they have put into place during Covid times. The mask policy, cleaning measures - everything helps to put me at ease as a parent that everything possible is being done to protect the dancers and the staff. Lastly, the thing that has stood out to me the most is how caring the instructors are with their students. Even when it's curtain time, and everyone is stressed, I have seen Lynn and Natasha stop and take the time to straighten a tiny Nutcracker mouse's whiskers and gently dry a tear. They truly love their dancers!
