They've returned with a more linear format, taking place in a…read moremansion in the West Adams district (fans of Delusion may recognize this space from a previous year). There were two sections, the welcoming B&B in partnership with CBS and the show 'Ghosts' which smelled like pumpkin spice and everything nice, with the occasional possession and haunting. Then you're taken across the street for the real show and that's where Creep shines. The poetic storylines, the terrific acting and staging, the interaction, and new ideas all reminded me of the early days of Delusion which is a huge compliment. Your group of 8 is small and intimate and you feel absolutely immersed. Be prepared to be touched, whether you are taking an actor's hand or they are gently leading you somewhere, but nothing over the top. I'm so glad it's back and as good a Creep LA as ever was! Parking is neighborhood street parking, not best area but you should be able to find something.

A review of Creep x Ghosts 2024…read more I had always heard about this company over the years, but never had a chance to check it out until this year. I had considered going to another haunt, but the prices were out of my range. Creep was a comfortable $70 per person and I was lucky to grab some tickets as they were selling out. I really didn't know what to expect, but the least I can say is that I was completely blown away. The absolutely expert crafting of this experience, everything from the story to the acting to the timing to the setting, was incredible. First I was curious, then unsettled, then worried, then SCARED, and then nearly welling up with tears. These actors are so committed and every character feels so full. The way they looked into my eyes had me deeply moved and I was immersed for the entire hour we were inside. Every person in my group was interacted with and enveloped in the story. This sort of art needs to be deeply appreciated and supported in Los Angeles and I'm so grateful to all the people that put their hearts and souls into this. Thank you JFI Productions!

Communication and the clarity are poor. The experience with violin instructor, Ana, was unpleasant. She showed little patience to the point where my daughter was put off the violin. When approaching Ana, asking her to extend patience to the student, she gave us a "this is how I am, take it or leave it" type of response. We are very disappointed.

It's hard to rate this place like any other music school or business in the area. Its function (not…read moreits "mission") is to teach arts and music to the community at a very reasonable rate (the community is rather underprivileged and this place is a real gem). So what is it that they offer? It seems like everything under the sun. They have a choir, a folklorico group (I think), and some other public/non-enrolled groups. Quality teachers instruct in instrumental education at a reduced rate for kids, including but not limited to strings, woodwinds (though I see less of them and haven't seen any brass players, but you probably should call to find out), piano and percussion. They are also respected for their voice instruction, as Alison Iraheta from American Idol some seasons ago was instructed here. However, it's not just instrumentation and music that they teach, they also have a drama class and several other seasonal rotating classes. Additionally, one of the most spectacular things about this school is their summer camp program (camp MusArt). The program has some great staff and instructors, and they usually have two months (1 section per month) and a production for each section (a fully staged musical) by the kids. Howe we, last summer they were only able to manage one section because LAUSD has screwed up their schedules with their budget issues forcing kids to go back to school at different times. The last show was the Wizard of Oz, prior to that they've done Mary Poppins, the Lion King, Mulan, West Side Story, etc. every year it's a treat for the kids to participate. Nothing can replace the quality they provide on such a reasonable level. Arts need more support, check out what you can do to help at http://www.lamusart.org

When people think of Watts in Los Angeles the last thing that pops up in their head is theater…read more This is why Im deeply passionate about this theater company. Being born and raised in the heart of South Central Los Angeles, I know that Watts doesnt just consist of gangsters and druggies. This community is rich with wonderful people and an interesting history. The founders of this wonderful company are Quentin Drew, and actor/playwright, Lynn Manning. I met Quentin Drew in '03 or '04 during a reading for WVTC. We had a lot in common. Both of us came from South LA and were passionate about theater even though our family was puzzled as to where this passion came from. Quentin past away in 2005 at a young age. However, his vision of the theater company still remains. Watts Village Theater Company prides themselves in producing only brand new plays. The Artistic Director, Guillermo Avilas also comes from South Los Angeles. He along with Teeko Parran work to provide great pieces of theater to the Watts Community and to the rest of LA.

The work really opens you up, not just as an actor, but as a person. What I appreciated most was how safe and non-judgmental the environment felt. It allowed me to truly see others, connect, and express my feelings without fear of being judged. Every class felt meaningful, and I genuinely enjoyed every moment of it. This class isn't just about acting, it's about awareness, presence, and emotional honesty. I walked away feeling more open, grounded, and connected, and I'm so grateful for the experience.

Although it's an acting class, this course is a game changer for anyone who wants to become a better listener and more effective communicator, on or off the stage.
