Parking is pretty easy with plenty of street and nearby options, and there are great restaurants around the area, perfect for dinner before an evening show. Ice cream too! Perfect location, right?! Snacks and various drinks are available before the performance, tickets are reasonably priced and easy to purchase online, and the staff is friendly. Many are volunteers and they are so sweet! The productions are high-quality and thoughtfully done. I recommend for a great night of theater. They even have musicals, so I may return for one later this year, or maybe for a comedy.

Nice Theater, "Matt and Ben" Not So Much…read more The theater has been hugely renovated since I was last there years ago -- much improved! There's a spacious lobby with a bar, although they only had one person on the bar and it was slow going. At the box office (inside) they just asked for our name and didn't bother seeing the tix on my phone. Staff were friendly. The theater itself is small. They allow drinks in that you've purchased there. (No food, although I watched one woman open a bag of crackers). The usher sent us to the wrong row, causing confusion and the letters on the end of the rows weren't obvious. There are several bathrooms, including a couple of non-gender ones. Free parking can be found at the train station behind the theater. The play we saw, 'Matt and Ben' was not great. I give it 2/5. The cast wasn't what I was expecting and it wasn't that funny, they dropped f-bombs all the time and I was ready for it to end after about 15 minutes.

They do offer paid classes, you might want to check out just to get your feet wet if you don't want to drive all the way to LA. You get to see different people from all walks of life attending, even the newscaster Sasha Foo came by, and we chatted a bit regarding SAG-AFTRA.

Our family lives in…read moreCarlsbad, so Rancho Bernardo isn't exactly close for us, but BBAS is the best of the best in San Diego so we are willing to make the drive in order to get there. In fact, we were strongly encouraged to try it out by our daughter's agents (Zuri), in order to receive the level and quality one would expect for a young working actor, or one aspiring to be. Our daughter has really come into her own as an actor since beginning her training with Coach Mike! She has learned so much and grown tremendously. From comedy, multi-cam, and improv, to pulling out her emotions and being able to cry on camera and more, Coach Mike and his staff are on it. We couldn't recommend BBAS more!

Loved the energy before the show and of the main cast in front of the screen. Agree with others here that the "inserted comments" could be timed better and often sounded like two people arguing.

My daughter joined their competition crew with zero dance experience other than a 3-day camp elsewhere that taught jazz, ballet, hip hop. She loved hip hop so much that I scoured the internet for a place that could ONLY offer hip hop. It's a crazy added bonus that she is obsessed with k-pop and this studio also teaches that genre!! The level of commitment for the crew is akin to a professional dancer, however, this is preparing my daughter for a professional career in the industry so she will be ready for anything if that day comes!!
