    We approached Drawn2Art for support with our 17‑year‑old son's AP Drawing portfolio, and the…read moreexperience has been exceptional. Even before enrolling, Emmett, the directors, and two teachers took the time to meet with us, learn about his ideas, and offer thoughtful guidance. Our son now works weekly with Tommy, and we've seen meaningful growth in both his technical skills and artistic voice. The class encourages independence, experimentation, and reflection, while Tommy provides insightful feedback and helps him stay organized with the demands of the AP portfolio. As the AP submission deadline approached, Tommy was especially supportive--offering ideas for themes, guiding him through the written components, and even sharing his own personal watercolor paints. The work our son is creating is something he's genuinely proud of, and he plans to continue even after the portfolio is submitted. As a parent, I also appreciate how flexible and supportive Emmett has been with scheduling. We've known Drawn2Art since our son was younger, and it's wonderful to see that same level of care carried into a more advanced, college‑level art experience. We highly recommend Drawn2Art for any student seeking serious artistic growth in a nurturing, supportive environment.

They are patient with fundamentals but never kill the joy of creating. They know when to push for cleaner work, when to let a student experiment, and how to give critique that makes kids want to improve. Over the years they tailored projects to my daughter's interests, introduced new techniques at just the right time, and celebrated progress in a way that built real confidence. The studio feels like a second home to my daughter! After 7 years, my daughter doesn't just do art -- she thinks like an artist. We're so grateful. She loves it enough that she now helps out in the studio sometimes, which says it all. Thank you to Drawn2Art and the great teachers for making every class so fun and enjoyable.

The Scene I was a guest here for a five year old girls birthday from 1-3 PM. The child's class was invited and it was a mix of girls and boys. The format was, sit in a circle, introduce each other, start practicing lyrics and gestures to a song. Kids all go to the bathroom as a group. Eat Pizza / Fruit / Cake. Parents stand in a line behind a table. Performance of two songs. Some observations: Some kids were warmer uppers, like mine. They suggested I could sit in the circle with my kiddo to help her get acclimated. We were 6 minutes late. I did sit for a bit, but had to move to a chair. I did suggest my kid go and talk to a teacher and that seemed to help. There were two boys who kept playing outside the circle and not paying attention and following the rules. I was a bit bothered by this and am not sure what should have happened. 1. I wondered why the parents weren't encouraging their kids to participate. Was it because they were boys? And boys don't need to participate and follow instructions? 2. Why weren't the teachers trying to encourage the boys to participate? Were they assuming that because this was Disney princesses they wouldn't want to? All in all, I can't see everyone ignoring two girls not paying attention and doing their own thing and distracting the group. I feel like boys should be looked after and encouraged just as much as girls. While yes, the parents should have maybe done something, in situations like this, I try not to jump in, and assume the people who are being paid to run a two our event can work to include everyone. Loved that they had all of the kids go to the bathroom. Smart. One of the teachers seemed new, and didn't quite know the songs, she was looking at the more experienced teacher most of the time for guidance. I could see this made the students not know if they should look at her, or look at the obvious leader. Thought they could have done one dress rehearsal before showing the parents. Only one boy participated out of a group of aprox 25. 5-6 boys stood there. To me, this is a failure of inclusion.

    A great space for budding theater arts kids, the space is wonderful and like the real deal. It's a…read moresweet experience and one I'd recommend to anyone who wants a truly amateur production. Excellent for family members of the actors and stage crew, as well as younger ones that are new to the theater. It's a great space in which to learn theater etiquette, to watch a show, to dream. Parking available in the lot just outside the strip-mall-like building. No food/snacks allowed inside the theater; bottled water is okay. For the kids, by the kids.

The drama program for my kids is also nice. When Studio East started at Somerset they offered enrollment and we raced to get in on time. Anyone who has tried to get their kid into an after-school activity knows that it is the Thunderdome.... If the Thunderdome were waking up super early and refreshing a page over and over in the hopes that you beat all the other parents in entering your kid's information on time. My Mavis Teaches Typing powers must have been on point that morning. But when you do that race once, you don't have to do it over and over again. This is because they are supposed to offer priority registration to existing students so that they can have something resembling a continuity to their experience. Pretty important. But instead of that they just offered open enrollment again. It was a mistake. Their exact words were, "we didn't think it would be so popular, sorry" That's not smart, but I would never leave a 1-star review because of a mistake. I leave 1-star reviews when the mistake is brought to their attention and they not only don't fix it, but they say that they will do priority registration in the future. This means they have now made it COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE for my daughter to ever be part of the after-school camp in the future. If they fix this then I would remove this review. This is a very binary failure. --- They fixed it by adding a teacher. YAY to the company!!!
