    My daughter attended Area Stage Conservatory from elementary through middle school. During that…read moretime, she participated in Broadway Bites, enrolled in private voice lessons, and performed in seven productions. It was through the Conservatory that she was introduced to the Inspire Theatre Project (ITP) and invited to volunteer with Irma. Inspired by the program and its mission, I also became a volunteer and have had the privilege of seeing firsthand the impact it has on the students and their families. ITP is truly an extraordinary program. The opportunity it provides for neurodiverse students to participate in theater, build confidence, and express themselves creatively is invaluable. What makes the program especially remarkable is the love, dedication, and genuine care that Irma and the entire staff bring to every class and production. Their passion for the students shines through in everything they do. Watching the students grow, develop friendships, and take pride in their performances is incredibly inspiring. One of the things that speaks volumes about the program is that many of the students have been participating in ITP for years. The lasting relationships they build and their continued enthusiasm for the program reflect the welcoming and supportive community that Irma and her team have created. The productions are thoughtfully put together, and every participant is encouraged to shine in their own unique way. ITP is a wonderful example of how theater can transform lives, and we are so grateful to be a part of it.

    Families with children and/or friends on the autism spectrum who intend to enroll in the ITP…read more(Inclusive Theatre Program, now called Inspired Theatre Program) classes at Area Stage, please read below before moving forward. Our daughter, now a 9-year-old girl on the spectrum who loves art and music in an incredible way, started her journey with Area Stage in mid-2024 by taking private lessons with Annette, an amazing instructor at Area Stage. Under Annette's guidance and patience, our daughter improved tremendously and was able to perform in three showcases where she sang and danced alongside other children. This success did not come without challenges. Raising and supporting a child on the spectrum can be very difficult. From meltdowns and lack of attention to struggles with taking turns and stimming, families connected to autism understand these behaviors can be caused by many factors such as inflexibility or sensory overload, which are often misunderstood by neurotypical people as misbehavior or poor parenting. Fortunately, everywhere we have gone to help improve our daughter's behavior and skills, we have been blessed with people who truly understand autism and know how to support autistic children, just like Annette did. That changed on May 14th, 2026, when our daughter's instructor had an emergency and could not attend class, so a substitute instructor was assigned to the ITP class. Our daughter had a rough day during class and, as we were told, she was not following directions and was being disruptive. She was repeatedly told not to do certain things because they were "not allowed," as if that alone has ever been an effective way to regulate or support a child on the spectrum. Our daughter was in deep distress, as she often becomes when something triggers a shutdown. Her behavior escalated to the point that the Director of Inspired Theatre Project, Irma Becker, stepped in and told her she was misbehaving, that wh. This is a 1 hour class. Meanwhile, I, her father, was sitting outside waiting for the class to finish. Once the time was up, I approached the door where the children exit from, but no one came out. As I got closer, I heard, "So who's coming to pick up this child today?" To my surprise, it was Irma asking who was picking up my daughter. When I explained that I was her father, Irma approached me aggressively and explained that my daughter did not want to participate and that she was a "mean girl" who pushed her multiple times while she was trying to get her to follow directions. My daughter was listening to everything Irma was saying because they were standing next to each other. While Irma discussed my daughter's behavior with me, my daughter became even more overwhelmed, yelling and completely out of control. I told Irma that I would talk to my daughter later at home, but she continued escalating the situation. In the middle of the chaos, she told me that we needed to discuss next year's enrollment because of my daughter's behavior, although she still had to commit to participating in this year's showcase. I was speechless and asked, "Do you even know that my daughter is on the spectrum?" In response, Irma began listing her titles and degrees in behavioral therapy, completely contradicting herself through her own behavior. It is truly sad that someone like this could be in charge of a program such as this one. We formally contacted ownership via email to explain the situation, hoping to schedule a meeting, discuss possible solutions, and receive an apology. Instead, we were told that after conducting an investigation with the people present, ownership concluded that Irma never said anything inappropriate about our daughter. Additionally, our daughter was removed from the inclusive program entirely only two weeks before her showcase. During a call with ownership regarding our email, the owner himself told us that he believed the problem with our daughter was that she was "not used to hearing no." Imagine saying that about a child on the autism spectrum, as if simply hearing "no" were ever a solution for autism-related behaviors. This was coming from someone who has never spent even a second with our daughter, yet still felt comfortable giving an opinion about her behavior. What I see here is a major red flag. When someone reports misconduct, unethical behavior, or unprofessional conduct and their concerns are immediately dismissed or denied, it creates an environment where that behavior can continue unchecked and potentially lead to even more serious problems. It is like calling a police department to report misconduct by the chief of police, only for the person making the complaint to be punished for speaking up. Thank you for creating a program that helps so many students with special needs. I truly hope this experience serves as an opportunity for growth and improvement so the program can become even more inclusive moving forward.

    I came here February 1, to get a sentimental tattoo for my sister on my hand, it was suppose to be…read more5 little hearts on my hand. Maybe it was my fault for not doing my research before going to get the tattoo, but who can mess it 5 tiny hearts? Right? I was VERY wrong. All of the hearts are different shapes and sizes. 1 of them got infected and peeled off. The other one doesn't even look like a heart. I honestly don't know where this guy got his license from. After a day, I saw the hearts were all different, I text the guy saying that they are all different, and he said it just has to heal and he has to "touch it up" I explain to him that I am upset, he didn't even give me instructions on how to take care of the tattoo and I don't trust him to "touch it up" knowing he already messed up the tattoo in the first place. He got upset and was very rude, told me to look up on the internet about the healing of my tattoo. $130 for 5 tiny tattoos that he couldn't even do. I got in contact with the owner and tried to talk to him to see what we can do but all he wanted me to do was go to the shop... still don't know why I needed to go to the shop. I went the next day. Wasn't there. I'm going next week to get this lasered off. HORRIBLEEEEE EXPERIENCE. DONT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT MESSED UP TATTOOS. pictures of fresh tattoo, healing, and done healing. Oh and the guy being rude and his instagram.
