First time here to see Stomp and this venue was very nice and spacious. We had seating in the upper…read morebalcony of the facility and thought it was perfect view. I was very impressed how comfortable and roomy the seats were; it's not all the time you come across that. We opted for free street parking, but noticed some paid lots and valet service for an additional charge. If another show or concert is here, One thing, just be sure to allow yourself sometime to get a beverage and/or a snack, we tried and the line was moving at snails pace, so we passed on it. I was a bit disappointed because I dislike being without water and goshhhh, I was dry during the show, couldn't wait for a nice big gulp of water. I'd be happy to return to The Pablo Center At The Confluence. The few encounters we had with staff were friendly and pleasant.

It was a lot if fun and the sound and screen quality were excellent. As it is downtown, you'll need to park and walk a bit, but we found it easy.

Our kids performed in many shows there. I had heard about inappropriate conduct with the sound guy…read moreand girls a few times but didn't really know the skinny because I wasn't on the board and I didn't really participate in the parent-actor discussion. Then when our child experienced it, we tried to address it. The reaction was appalling. What kind of weirdos do they let work with kids!?!? I did some digging after I tried to reason with them about their complacency only to find out this nonprofit charged its adult volunteer actors $25 for a script but didn't bother to run a $7 background check. YIKES! One of them had a sexual assault charge at one point when I looked them up on CCAP. We encouraged them to remove the people who were being erronious and even we offered to help raise funds to have background checks taken care of for the actors for free but the director said it wasn't necessary and his former board member agreed. Instead, they told my kid (at a childrens theatre) that if he felt unsafe, he should leave. WHAT???? We allowed our kids to finish the current show and I didn't let my kids out of my sight for the duration. Soon after the show concluded and we pulled or kid, I found out that the scenery guy was talking inappropriately about sexual relationships to one of the young teen girls. When I asked about it, pages of instant message conversation between her and a 36 yo man who played many of the lead roles was fowarded to me and I provided them to the police. Three of the men volunteers were eventually kicked out but only after they found out that another mother and I were going public with WEAU. Unfortunately, the situation didn't get much air time because covid hit that week. That was unfortunate. But several women and a few parents came forward after our story aired and thanked us. Their stories were sad and unresolved because they too had issues as children with one of the men we turned in, addressed it and were shunned. At this point of my kids now becoming an adult, so I won't bar him from participating if he chooses to got back and audition. I write this review for parents. I strongly caution parents to be present with their children during auditions, rehearsals and shows (back stage). It is not a daycare, it is a place of business. The director will tell you that! Their first concern is financial gain. You are responsible for your kid. Not them. Keep your kids close to you. Follow your gut and don't be one of those parents that will sell their kid out for a lead roll. They don't need adult volunteer actors and staff callling them on the phone and interacting with your minor child on social media in a private message EVER, for ANY reason. This should be a policy like it would be at any other nonprofit child affilitated facility, but it isn't. We have had great feedback from some of the parents thanking us for standing up to the board and its director. Unfortunately, this facility has misssed out on some FANTASTIC talent throughout the years because of how they behave. We know one girl inparticular that will only do CVTG shows because Wayne made her cry when she was 6. She is now going onto college with a full scholarship and may one day be an opera singer.

However this year was anything but that. First we were shown costumes at the beginning of the year that would be for their spring show. I understand distribution is rough right now but we got clothes from target. Like still had rags on looked bought that day. All dancers from the main studio for hip hop had legitimate costumes. Not just play clothes. When I asked the director about it she had an attitude and said that she spent how much I paid for costumes on those clothes. Ummm I didn't give you the money for clothes I could have gone and bought myself. My son was thoroughly disappointed. Though as one of the only boys at the studio he felt more like an accessory than a dancer. Looking at other kids there age level my kids are behind on skills. Needless to say we are switching dance company's next season. Highly disappointed with the experience and how I was talked to when my concerns were raised.
