She works impeccably well with mixed aged children and [somehow] gets them to care for one another - not just the usual emphasis on individual worth that we tend to cherish so much. Thank you, Sonya, for all you do!

Sonya has a gift with children. She's patient, thoughtful and helps kids grow into their talent while always keeping it fun and being inclusive of everyone's age, experience and skill. My daughter has attended several different drama programs but she says EA is by far her favorite! In the summer program, kids get to enjoy a well rounded day of acting, singing, dancing and crafting. Plus if they do the extended day, they get a lot of one on one coaching. It's a great mixture of cooperation and individualized attention. Thank you Sonya for providing kids with such a wonderful environment to learn, grow and have fun!

I don't have to wait until I make it out to wine country. And Greg takes the time to get to know his club members, so I never feel like a stranger.

Our quiet evening unwinding with a wonderful glass of wine after a long work week was meet with a very uncomfortable environment. So disappointing.

TIP: Ladies, go to the restroom BEFORE the performance instead of intermission. Trust me, the line moves quickly and there is plenty of time before the show. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat had a more contemporary story line. Great concept. Excellent cast, voices and choreography. Costuming and wigs were on point. Exiting the parking lot was very easy and in no time at all. Can't wait to return to this theatre again. Ok, bye.

Why I will not be returning to the Carpenter's Center of the Performing Arts and to any Musical…read moreTheatre West Productions, or for that matter to any Live Theatre in SoCal. I will find other forms of entertainment. Before I tell the why of my first sentence. I want you to understand that for 22 years I had season tickets to a live theatre in Glendale till they went under due to Covid and owners' divorce. I've have seen a lot of live theatre what happened at the Carpenter Center is the last straw. Goodbye live theatre. First the Actors, Actress, and Musicians. Thank you for sharing your talents. As a person who can miss all the notes all the time, I truly appreciate your talents and abilities. I hold the Producers and Directors responsible for the Show. As for the Carpenter Center, Musical Theatre West, and other places and production companies. I'm done. When you advertise you are doing "Joesph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" or any other production this is what I expect to see. If you are making a new adaption of the play, let everyone know before they spend their hard-earned money. This visual experience is part of the performance. Your new adaption was for the most part very poor. As my mother of 85 said, "I kept closing me eyes hoping it would change." I laughed, yet never having been to a "Chip and Dale" review it's the only thought that came to my mind to describe what was being presented. Last note Bruno Mars is not a King, sorry, a very disappointing part of the performance. You didn't want Elvis okay, then use a King... Michael Jackson, the king of pop or James Brown the king of Soul. I just love the Pharaoh as Evlis.

She has a dual doctorate degree in theory, vocal, and music. She has over 40 years experience in teaching. Dr. Olena is calm, professional, soft spoke & works very well. Emmalee learned how to properly sit, place her hands, play the piano, and read notes in a short amount of time. We highly recommend Dr. Olena, her price is generous for the degrees she holds. If you want to learn piano and or vocal, Dr. Olena's experience and credentials speak for itself.

The Fenians performed and they were EXCELLENT. Other than that... nothing. Prices: First...They bang you for $8 to park. In a DRY, DUSTY, WIND-BLOWN lot, where you'll be SERIOUSLY sorry you washed your car the day before. By the time we left, the car looked like we'd taken a safari through Kenya. NEXT: IT'S A FLEA MARKET. A SMALL flea market, at that. Not even a renaissance-type fair! Nothing alluding to our Celtic history, other than a small handful of re-enactment-clad men at The Fenians show. At least at renaissance fairs there's jousting, stage plays, games, rides, etc! This was nothing more than a small flea market. If we WANTED to go to a flea market, the amazing Rose Bowl Flea Market, one of the largest in the country, is only $9 each (senior rate) with FREE PARKING!! This "Irish" Fair held us up for $16 each. Yes, S I X T E E N dollars each (senior) It's TWENTY regular rate. And when I say 'held us up' I mean as in 'robbed.' AND...BTW.........................CASH ONLY. Don't have cash? Lucky you! The operators of the "Irish Fair' are anything BUT "fair"!!!!! There's an ATM right there at the ticket table. We can get cash!! Good news, yes? WRONG. Charging $4.95 SURCHARGE. YES. You read that one correctly. Now....try to remember the last time you used an ATM, even in a hotel, and you were charged FOUR NINETY FIVE for the privilege. I can't. Not even The Bellagio charges that much. Think about this....WHY do they charge this unethical, usurious, Mafia-shylock-rate? Because they have you at a MAJOR disadvantage! They've GOT you where they want you. Let me explain...the sheer DRIVE INTO THE PARK...once you enter Eldorado Park, you're still 9 or 10 minutes away from "the fair"...following a circuitous empty road until you find the dusty, wind-blown parking lot. So, while you're kicking yourself in the pants as you're staring, incredulously, at the $4.95 surcharge they're banging you with...you realize that it makes NO sense whatsoever to even THINK about an ATM somewhere outside the park. This is the ONLY time-sensitive option the "IRISH FAIR" is giving you. Pay the $4.95 or you're obviously not going in. Cash only. We call this FINANCIAL RAPE since they absolutely have you OVER A BARREL. There's simply NOWHERE else to go if you still want in. Then once we GOT in, well....as I said...a thorough waste of time AND money. OK....let's re-cap.....So far --- $32 entry + $8 parking...they've got us for $40 bucks before we even walked in. And if you're NOT a senior, they banged you for $20/ticket + $8 parking. Next: Food. $8 for a boat of FRENCH FRIES. HUH? Yes. You heard that correctly. For a few sliced POTATOES! Need I say amore? Next: Booths. Not that many, gotta tell ya. Again...IT'S A FLEA MARKET. And a SMALL one at THAT. NOTHING MORE. This is NOT a 'Fair' like you might be used to (Renaissance)...no games, rides, "Fair" people dressed in costume.... Now, if you WANT a FLEA MARKET...once again I say...THE ROSE BOWL...probably 100 times LARGER (NO EXAGGERATION) than THIS disingenuous financial scam and The Rose Bowl has FREE PARKING!!! AND...we arrived near noon. By 3:00 we'd decided we'd had enough of this sham. And we noticed that MANY of the booths were already PACKED UP AND GONE. Empty tents, so we couldn't even tell what WAS being hawked there. BUT.........the event ran until 7PM!! Save your money. This rip-off ALMOST made us embarrassed to be Irish. We were born and raised in New York, and the Irish-owned businesses we dealt with all our lives never attempted to bang us as bad as these alleged 'Irish' did. BTW....I wanted to write this last Sunday night right after we got home. My wife, always the practical one, told me to wait a few days, thereby avoiding any 'knee-jerk' reaction since that wound was still very fresh. So I did. And after 5 days, yes, I'm STILL that pissed about being ripped off. I'm SO proud of my lineage. Don't insult me with this sorry excuse for collecting money. Once again, The Fenians were excellent. If you haven't heard their music, you should. But if you're not really attached to your MONEY, by all means hand it over to the operators of this scam. Personally, I'd rather burn it. I'd save gas and wear & tear on the car, as well as ANOTHER car wash.
