For the past nine years, the Austin School of Classical Ballet (ASCB) has been an integral part of…read moremy 14-year-old daughter's life... a second home if you will. As a naturally reserved and serious individual, ASCB has profoundly shaped her, building her confidence, poise, and integrity. Ms. Jennifer, the studio's exceptionally knowledgeable director and teacher, has been a constant guide, witnessing and fostering my daughter's growth every step of the way. From a mother's perspective, I cannot overstate the immense impact that both the studio and Ms. Jennifer have had in shaping not only her dance technique but also her character. ASCB maintains a high standard of technique, which Ms. Jennifer skillfully balances with patience and kindness. And to anyone wondering whether this is the studio for your dancer... I can't emphasize enough that your dancer will find a home here where they will be both challenged and nurtured...where they will grow! Here's a quick list for "WHY ASCB?"... * This is a serious ballet studio. Classical technique is taught with a high standard and with care and kindness. * The classical ballet technique taught at ASCB fosters a strong, flexible, and coordinated body and nurtures discipline, focus, and expressive movement. * Ms. Jennifer is highly knowledgeable and effective. * It's a smaller studio which means more individualized attention, increased guidance, and stronger teacher-student relationship. * Once dancers hit a certain level, the dancers are invited to attend the studio's summer intensive w/guest teachers. * The schedule works nicely around school schedules. * I absolutely love seeing all the dancers perform at the studio's recitals. The work put into them by Ms. Jennifer and the dancers is incredible! * OH! Aaaaand the studio is right by Movin' Easy! Did your dancer forget their tights? No problem, just walk a couple of doors down and boom!

We were at Penfold this weekend for the first time to see Ordinary Days. What a charming…read moreperformance - the cast was wonderful and I loved the musical - it made me cry!

This review is for their production of A War of the Worlds by Jarrett King that is taking…read moreplace/took place at Ground Floor Theatre in June 2022. I was blown away in the best possible way. From the opening scene the cast shone, with phenomenal vocal range and depth, many doing multiple accents throughout. They worked well together as an ensemble, feeding off each others energy with quick, believable reactions as events unfolded. Jarrett King's rendition of the classic tale brought in modern themes in a way that was delicately done without banging you over the head on the dangers of fake news and racial inequality. I read the spoilers beforehand and was on edge about how it was going to play out, but when things fell apart they happened in a believable and natural way without live gunfire or too much of what we see on the news these days. Introducing the chaos that happens outside the studio during the historic events around Orson Wells' famous production helped showcase that nothing we do exists in a bubble, while enabling greater depth for the characters. It should tell you something that I am considering going back to see it a second time. Would highly recommend checking it out and considering future productions at Penfold Theatre Co!

They even gave him a few extra tokens for his birthday. They have great system to trade up your plushies for a prize. We turned ours in and walked away with two 3D printed dinosaurs. We also kept the smaller keychain prizes. They had some other unique games when you walked in to the right. There's also a Photo Booth in the back. I'm sure we'll be back!

(3) The website lists prices for the computer tablets (which hold 66 cards), but not for paper cards. (When I went, it was $2 for of paper, which had 12 cards for each of the five games in the session.) (4) If you win, they deduct 5% for taxes. That would be fine, except it's not explained anywhere, not on the website, not on the instruction sheets at the tables, not on signage anywhere. (5) There is no vibe. It's certainly not a festive atmosphere, It's pretty dead.

This is the premiere theater for the McCallum Fine Arts Academy…read more Purchasing tickets for their many theatrical events on the Ludus website is super easy. Ticket prices are very reasonable. For example, for a recent performance, student tickets were $10 and adults were $16. The best part of it all is that their performances are truly excellent. This is at least the third play I've seen at this facility. And there's not been a dud among them. They're most recent production of Sweet Charity features a truly talented andincredible cast, including the female lead who I would swear is Broadway-bound. Seating is comfortable and assigned so you don't have to worry about rushing in for general admission tickets. There is a booster-run concession stand that offers the basics. I do need to mention that no food or drink is allowed in the auditorium. First School district policy no photography or videography is allowed. As the fine arts go in Austin, this place offers a lot of bang the buck. I've attended Broadway in Austin performances before and--dare I say-- those featured here easily exceed the level of talent that's often offered at Bass. Best of all you're supporting the performing arts at a grassroots level. Sure some of it is underwritten by the school district but you're giving these kids the opportunity to try their chops at an acting career. And some of them will succeed beyond their wildest dreams. There's some value in that. Recommended.
