Cathy Sullivan's Acting School is a lot like any other type of school -- you get out of it what you…read moreput into it. If you think you'll magically become an amazing actor by taking 1-2 classes here, you're probably barking up the wrong tree. While primarily a school for young actors, they also have adult classes. Owner Cathy understands that acting development is a progression of maturity, intelligence, confidence, listening skills, and passion -- and she has structured her classes in a way that develops these abilities over time, especially if the actor is putting in the work. Unlike some acting coaches, Cathy focuses on the specific skills needed to start landing professional jobs. Her top students and assistants ARE working actors in Hollywood. The proof is in the pudding. An entire class devoted to being frightened? Seems odd to a newcomer. But when 1/4 of your child's auditions ask them to demonstrate fear, you realize that she's actually preparing them for professional opportunities. While she doesn't teach every class, she's always accessible and her assistant instructors are amazing. My kid's 'fear class' was taught by a skilled older teenager who demonstrated a scene by entering a room and seeing a monster and throwing himself against the wall in fear while shrieking with panic. Over and over again. Each time more frightening and realistic than the last. I was simply amazed at the level of commitment and passion being demonstrated by a young man of this age. I asked him what his name was because I wanted to know who I was watching. Two years later, Jaren Lewison is the star of 'Never Have I Ever' on Netflix. Cathy also has a great eye for talent. She selects only the best to teach at her school and is quick to recognize a rising talent. When she told me that my child wasn't ready to begin auditioning for major roles, I didn't believe her but she was RIGHT. While commercial, modeling and small supporting acting jobs may go to the kid with the right look, major roles will almost always go to a highly skilled actor -- and that is something that comes with education, practice and time. Classes run about $350-$400 for 12-16 hours of training. It may sound expensive but when I considered that I was spending $350/month for my kid's FC Dallas soccer training and he had zero chance of ever playing professional soccer, it made me realize that this was a much better investment. Plus, the skills that acting class develops -- public speaking, reading, confidence, handling criticism -- are all life skills that will pay dividends regardless of whether your child ever becomes a star. My child has been a student here for three years and has landed several professional (paying) acting jobs. She looks forward to classes and loves her teachers and Cathy. What more can you ask for?

We've only had great experiences here! Yes, beginning classes have a lot of students (Even advanced…read moreclasses have about 15 kids) but it's up to your child to learn & pay attention. My daughter isn't the best at this in regular school but because she loves acting, she has learned a lot & each class has helped her improve. She always learns a few things in every class, there's never been a class she didn't like! The teachers & aides are great and know how to develop the kids talents. Kim Dawson & Campbell are the big agencies that come to "seminars" (held a few times a year) to scout out new talent. Seminars are when LA casting directors, producers, and other important people in the industry come in & give constructive feedback to your kids skit they do in front of them. The classes are reasonably priced for what your kid gets out of them & the exposure in the seminars is what is going to get your kid to the next level. But your child has to want it & work for it. Don't expect your kid to get an agent or a movie role just because they show up. You get out of it what you put into it!

I asked for a refund but was refunded not the full amount. Some people at the demo class didn't even pay for it as I found out.

The teacher gave me and my scene partner terrible guidance regarding one of the main characters, which was detrimental for our whole scene!

Meow Wolf Grapevine feels like a "greatest hits" version of the Meow Wolf universe…read more If you've been to other locations, you'll definitely notice some familiar elements and design ideas. At times it gave me a bit of a "been there, seen that" feeling, like they pulled some of the most popular concepts from past installations and reimagined them here. But even with that, I still had a really good time. The execution is so well done, and there's something fun about recognizing pieces from other locations and seeing how they've been adapted. It's still incredibly immersive, visually impressive, and just a genuinely cool experience to walk through. It may not have had the same "wow, I've never seen this before" feeling as my first visit, but it's still absolutely worth going - and I'd still give it 5 stars without hesitation!

We had heard about Meow Wolf in the past and thought it sounded neat but wasn't fully interested in…read moregoing. I definitely didn't fully understand what it was. My husband and I needed a fun activity to do together (without the kids) for our 18th wedding anniversary and I decided it looked neat enough to go to, even if it was mainly just an immersive art experience. I was 1000% wrong. It is way, way more than that. It is intense and entertaining and intriguinging and kept our attention and interest for nearly 3 hours on our extended date. We felt a bit like kids again, and there was even more of the experience that we didn't fully explore in that timeframe. It's hard to explain without giving away spoilers but it was incredibly interesting and multifaceted and immersive, but not directly as an art exhibit as much as like you are in a storyline in an Alice in Wonderland-like world with multiple dimensions and most everything is interactive. Touch everything, push the buttons, open the doors and drawers and cabinets, cause there are hidden treasures and such at every turn. The employees were wonderful. No one broke character, they were just as present as you'd want them to be (they're there in part to answer questions and help with whatever is needed), and they all were welcoming. One in particular stood out - Reinhart. I didn't know it until after we exited the experience but they're the manager at the location. That doesn't surprise me because they were a role model for how the staff there should interact with the people attending the experience. They may all do that too truly, but I can only speak directly about this manager as we crossed paths with them so many times. There was a group of elementary-aged kiddos who were clearly having the time of their lives and part of that was due to Reinhart's interactions. The kids would treat them as a customer in their game of "Restaurant", ask them to be a member of their audience as they performed on the stage for them, invite them to walk around with them throughout the different areas of the experience, etc. They stayed in character and interacted with the kids on their level, never seeming bored or inconvenienced, and always game for whatever they wanted of them. They were definitely invested in the kids having the ultimate experience that day and I'm certain they did, in large part due to the way Reinhart enhanced the experience for them throughout their time there. When we left (shortly after the group of kids) they were already at the register helping out and being readily available for the customers in the gift shop. They definitely fulfill the spirit of the place and made it even more fun for us just by being around their great interactions with the kids. Cost: Worth it. 100%. To be clear, I am a pretty cheap person, which is why I had deferred taking my 2 kiddos to it even though they were interested. I didn't want to spend that much money on what I thought was a nice but fairly straightforward art experience but now that we truly understand what it is we will DEFINITELY be bringing them back, as well as our girl scout troop. We're also gonna have my kids upcoming birthday party here too, her request. My only regret is just buying one time tickets and not buying my hubby and I the membership, as it pays for itself after only 2 visits and we will definitely want to go to this and other Meow Wolfs later this summer. They have multiple locations across the US and each one has a different experience/storyline/exhibits, so it's worth going to any of them your near as they aren't all the same. We will likely get our kids the membership when we take them soon. There is an integrated snack shack in the experience and the prices aren't bad, better than a lot of places we've gone to in the past. You can't bring outside food and drink but they do have water stations to fill up an empty bottle at, if you bring one. To summarize - 10/10, highly recommend, will go again, cheapskate approved!!!
