A much needed musical theater school in Santa Barbara! Looking forward to their next session.

Shane and Josh were positive, encouraging, patient, and inspiring throughout the entire session. Their passion and enthusiasm made such an impact that our son finished his morning lesson from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and couldn't wait to come back for an evening ride from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The entire experience was truly amazing. Thank you both for creating lifelong memories and helping build our son's confidence and excitement. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do. We will absolutely recommend you to others and will definitely be back. Please continue inspiring young people the way you do. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Rich G

They even serve you at the snack bar and they love and deserve tips. Book online. No printed tickets necessary. They either look up your name or you show them your pdf tickets that are emailed to you. Small place gets crammed with people but it's all good because you're close to the action.

From saloon gossip to shady dealings, it was a night to remember. Everyone in the audience becomes a living participant in the murder mystery, plus solving it. Exceeded expectations. Artful, engaging, playful, superbly crafted and staged. Everyone was transformed to the late 1800s; small town gossip, envy, big egos and suspicions. Who's done it? Plenty of hints and twists. If you ever get the chance to attend one, don't miss it--just watch your back... you never know who's got a secret!

The theme was Once Upon a Spell--a wizarding world filled with quirky professors, suspicious spells, and a twist I didn't see coming... I was cast as a strict Professor with sky-high standards, and my sister played the hilariously disheveled Professor of Animalia. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in character, mingling with other guests to uncover clues and solve the mystery. The Cloak and Dagger team was incredible--super organized without being overwhelming. We received just the right amount of info via email beforehand (character backstories, costume ideas, etc.) and were given more tasks and secrets throughout the evening. Every detail was thoughtful and well executed. It was exactly the magical escape we both needed. Thank you, Cloak and Dagger, for such a creative and unforgettable night.

(And I have been acting since I was a child) He deeply cares for each of his students and their development. His way of thinking and putting things together has truly transformed me as an actor (and as a person in general). Peter helps his students engage with and awaken their greatest super power: imagination. I am now 100% confident on exactly how to own a room when I walk into it. I am keenly aware of my voice, physicality's, tone, stature, ticks, strength, weaknesses, where to pull from, how to create characters, how to win over directors. He is an incredibly gifted teacher and a true wealth of information. The arts are better because of him! This, I know. Santa Barbara and LA are so lucky to have him. Thank you Peter.
