    We had a party of 7 and everyone had so much fun! Everyone was great! We loved watching the actors/performers/comedians do their show improv! The setting is small but felt like a cozy feel. It was all of our first times going and we thoroughly enjoyed it and laughed so much! We'll be back!

    I really enjoyed our experience here at the show, it's a great place to come for a unique date night. They offer an earlier showing that is family friendly, and a later one that is "rated R". Tickets to the shows are relatively inexpensive, and they put on special themed events from time to time. It really is amazing to see what the actors are capable of. The games they play are really fun, and audience is able to participate by offering suggestions for all of the games. They also have a couple of games where the audience members can participate more and possibly get on stage, but don't worry you have to volunteer, so feel free to sit in the front without fear of being pulled up. I actually participated and got a little prize/treat for it. There is canned alcohol available for purchase as well as a snack bar. Snacks tend to be more like chips and candy. The staff was really friendly, and the place had some cool photos on the wall and cool bathrooms. Street parking available. Overall a great night at a locally Owen spot in Old Town Tustin.

    ImprovCity was honestly a vibe. I went to the 9:30 uncensored show (first time ever going to improv) and it was way funnier than I expected. The cast was sharp and kept the jokes coming. The crowd was really into it and they actually involved us, which made it even better. Felt like everyone was just there to have a good time. It's a small venue, but still super cool--more interactive and chill. The energy was solid the whole time. Tickets are usually $18 per person, but we got the college student discount and paid $15 each. They also have discounts for military and seniors, so it's really not expensive at all. Great spot for a date night if you want to switch it up. Good laughs, good vibes. A solid gem in Tustin.

    Amazing entertainment- the wife and kids all love it (7:30 pm shows are PG13). Keep up the great work Devin and the gang!!

    I am terrified of being put on the spot, however, I wanted to challenge myself and step outside of my comfort zone. The Monday drop in improv class was my first experience with improv, and it was actually fun (once you get over the stage fright) and educational. The attendees had various levels of experience -- many of them were repeat customers, some of them were also attending for the first time [like me], and all of them were kind and encouraging. Would definitely try this class again! Would also love to watch one of their shows here sometime. Parking: lot behind the class (drive up the ramp on the left, walk down the stairs near the gazebo). Street parking available as well.

    I took the Improv 101, 201 and 301 courses with a bunch of skilled actors who were all impressed by the quality of the courses. On a personal level the courses helped me feel more comfortable expressing myself to others. I love watching shows here, especially on the weekends as their 9:30 shows are a great activity to do on a late Friday or Saturday night. Good vibes, great atmosphere and a lot of laughs.

    One of my "performances!" lol

    I drive from Yucaipa down to Tustin to go to Improv with my friend about once a month. It is hilarious! I volunteer whenever I can and have a blast every time. Seriously considering driving the hour+ to go to the drop in class on Mondays!

Being a huge fan of the film, I rushed to get tickets thinking it was actual live stage performance, then come to find out it was just a screening. Oops! Don't rush, take your time when purchasing for a show. The screening itself was adapted from Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece. Nothing can replace the original cast of this iconic film; however, the stage version was pretty impressive with the handling of the changing of stage scenes. It was highly abbreviated though, in my opinion. Tickets were for General Admission so we chose our seats upon doors opening. Every seat (approximately 750 seats) in the house seems to have non-obstructive view. We went for the first row center on the balcony level. Love this view. If you need a snack, there is wine, beer, water, soft drinks, and packaged snacks like cookies, chips, and candies for sale. Parking is in the structure right next to the theatre. (US$10-15) Ushers and all staff were very polite and courteous. Enjoy!

I like that he goes at my son's pace and doesn't rush him. My daughter took piano with Ms. T for a little while. She has a slight learning disability but Ms. T is very patient. The reason she's not taking lessons anymore is because I think my daughter is a little young (she's 6). Being 6 with a little learning disability, we decided to wait another year. We'll definitely ask for Ms. T again. Hopefully she will have an opening at the same time that my son has guitar lessons. We mamas always have to juggle with our kids' schedules.

Ms. Thu is "really" patient and encouraging with my son in piano, and I especially see it while we've been doing home online piano lessons with her during the covid19 stay home orders. All the distance learning from his elementary school already takes a toll on him, and so he's been getting more frustrated with himself during online piano, which of course is not the same as being there in person. But Ms. Thu stays positive with him, nudges him enough to keep trying, but without scolding him or showing frustration towards him. I'm amazed at her teaching skills and patience. My son had also chosen to start guitar lessons with Steve a few weeks prior to the stay home order, and Steve is so good working with kids.

We ended up enrolling full time, and joining the Pre-Company Busy Bees competitive team. The technical training here is the real deal -- teachers give specific, meaningful corrections every single class, and the focus on proper technique from day one builds dancers fast. My daughter came in as a complete beginner and her growth in under a year has genuinely surprised me. What I said in my first review about the studio culture still holds -- the older kids are warm and encouraging, the staff are caring and dedicated, and everyone gets personalized attention. That hasn't changed at all. But this past year tested us in a way I didn't expect. My daughter suffered a serious injury and had to have surgery. The way N10 responded -- every Pre-Company dancer, and Kyle personally -- showed me exactly what kind of place this is.

Our family went in summer 2018, 2019, and 2022. The gentleman next to us had sat in every type of seat in the house, and he confirmed that each seat has a good view. For a seat on the stage floor, there are cushions, but you must be comfortable sitting on the floor for about 50 min at a time. Most seats are comfortable. Some seats use bar-stool type seating that may cut into your thighs a bit. On a clear night, enjoy the moon and stars from the top level! One time, there was some aircraft noise from the airport, but that was unusual. Tickets. We did not see any at-the-door sales; all sales were in advance. When you buy on the website, the Barclay will email you good directions two days before the performance. The e-ticket says "print this ticket" but it is OK to just show it on your phone. From home. Bring an extra layer of clothing because summer nights can be relatively cool and breezy at any level in the theater. Some people may like to bring a seat cushion. Park in the UCI Student Center Parking Structure for $13, through 11:59 pm the day of the performance. Arrive about 7:20 to give yourself plenty of time to stroll to the theater. Signage is good. The location on Apple Maps is not correct and Google Maps does not give a location; hopefully that will change. At intermission, restrooms are signposted, a minute's walk from the theater in the adjacent UCI Library building. M&Ms or Gummi Bears cost $1; paper cups of water are free. After the show finishes, some cafes and restaurants in the University Center are still open: most fast-food restaurants, Cha for Tea, or Eureka. Access the University Center by using the Watson pedestrian bridge across Campus Dr.
