The LJ Williams Theater, located on the Redwood High School campus in Visalia, is a wonderful local…read morevenue for plays and musicals. The auditorium has very comfortable seats which all seem to have a great view of the stage. There is even a balcony above to add even more seating. I visited recently to see the musical 42nd Street by the Golden West Theater Arts group. The orchestra providing music for the show was in an orchestra pit directly in front of the stage so the sound quality was excellent. The show was a lot of fun, but they did warn us before it started that they use wireless microphones in the auditorium and that we would all need to either turn our cell phones off or put them in airplane mode so as not to interfere with the show. The theater is older and but has recently undergone renovations to bring it up to date. The bathrooms are clean, and there are interesting design design elements throughout the building. I came here while visiting a friend who told me that most of the local high schools do their spring musicals here. It's worth a visit as the tickets are cheap and the shows look very professional, not hokey and small town.

It would have been nice to have a paper one as a memento as my cousin was the leading lady. This was a very well done production. The sound/acoustics was really good. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of leg room. The concession stand had a huge variety. I got the snoopy cookie for $5 and it was just as delicious as it was cute. There was plenty of parking in the back lot. The bathroom was bigger than I expected being a small theater. There are 2 stalls in the Women's and a unisex bathroom soon as you enter the Ice House in the lobby. The Ice House is surrounded by a wrought iron fence. It doesn't look like your typical theater as it used to be an ice house, thus that's how it got its name. It's easy to find if you use your gps to get you there. The only gripe I have is it was so cold in there. I brought a jacket and was still a bit chilly.

Then my three-year-old got told she could not come back (because she came out to check on me or go to the bathroom too much) and she was not ready without any warning. I begged and pleaded to try to get her to be able to go to a few more practices that I did not realize if she did this then she would be kicked out and they did not care. They already deleted her from everything.

Lillian Goss is totally professional and such a wonderful teacher. Students range from 3-65+. It was sort of a family tradition for me as my mother was with Lillians studio for ages before I was born, and was practicing right up until the day I was born, so as soon as I was old enough to take instruction I was there too. Highly recommended, Lillian as well as the other instructors are fantastic!

This review is for the Parent & Me dance class for ages 18 months to 3 years old. I was initially…read moreexcited to enroll my 2-year-old daughter, who loves to dance. Unfortunately, the class quickly became a disappointment. The instructor, Janelle, offered minimal instruction and mostly ran through routines without engaging the children--only occasionally praising the same few students while ignoring the others. While I understand parents are there to support their child, other Parent & Me classes we've attended had instructors who were far more hands-on and encouraging. My daughter was also going through a phase of learning boundaries and keeping hands to herself. Instead of addressing the concerns with me directly, the teacher reported the issue to the front desk, and I received a text stating that my daughter's behavior was a problem. I offered to withdraw her from class as I didn't want her to be a problem or distraction for others, but was told I would not receive a refund for the class or recital. The receptionist Ms. Sophie said she would speak to the teacher, but essentially offered no real solution or options on how we could work together to address the issue. Recital picture day was also poorly organized. Multiple groups were assigned the same time slot, and everyone was crowded into a hot classroom with limited seating. Our group--despite having the youngest and most restless children--was scheduled second to last. As I was heavily pregnant, I alternated between sitting on the floor and standing for over an hour. When I went to the lobby to look for a seat, Ms. Sophie, immediately told us to return to the classroom. I calmly explained I was pregnant and needed a seat, but she showed no concern or professionalism and rudely dismissed me (she was generally always rude and curt with me for whatever reason, and it seemed like she seized this opportunity to be even more rude). She escalated tensions by raising her voice at my husband. Eventually, another teacher who was present reluctantly found me a chair. My daughter then came running out of the picture room (parents were not allowed in) stating that she was scared and that her teacher had yelled at her. Overall, the staff came across as young, unprofessional, and lacking in basic customer service. The teachers do not seem prepared or have the experience to run a classroom with toddlers. The only positive thing I could say was that my daughter was allowed to perform on recital day despite having a rough morning which caused her to arrive late and upset. Aside from that, our experience was overwhelmingly negative. I would not recommend this studio for Parent & Me classes; you're better off with city-run tot classes that offer a better value without the stress or high cost, and more importantly, treat families with more care and respect.

There were some hiccups but Clevr Escape has potential to be great…read more My large group booked two rooms as a work bonding activity. Reservations were easy to make online and when I had issues and questions, the owner was very kind on the phone. During our session, there was another group that walked in so spontaneous fun was possible too. However, our game master was preoccupied so communication was slow during the game. I personally did the "Lost Treasure of Atlantis" which was labeled as hard difficulty. While the room was doable, I was disappointed in a puzzle that was uncalibrated. This issue resulted in the entire group being stuck for several minutes despite solving the puzzle. The room was formatted in a linear manner so our group of 6 felt very cramped. However I was impressed with the technology incorporated in the latter half of our escape. The room was very dim and there weren't enough lamps for each member of our team. It also didn't help that one lamp died 10 minutes in. The screen and speakers were clear. However our game master took several minutes to get back to us. Hence if you need a hint, wave for help immediately because assistance won't be immediately. The celebratory signs were a bit weathered and smelly. Hopefully these signs can be updated to reflect the themes of the rooms and be laminated to prevent the styrofoam deterioration. The experience was worth the $30 price tag but some changes needed to be made for it to be great.
