    I love what David is doing with the theater now. The movie variety is amazing for a small town. I…read morelove the speakers who come and talk about the films. The sound is great. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, very old Ojai vibe. The snacks are varied and delicious.

I'm visiting my daughter in Ojai and we went to the Playhouse a few weeks ago to see Marty supreme and I love this place so I checked out there screenings and I saw that song sung blue was playing which I haven't seen yet and I wanted to see. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw that it was a free screening so I registered and got myself a ticket. It was for a Wednesday evening at 6:30 PM and I was expecting a full house, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was only maybe half full. I got my small popcorn for seven dollars and a glass of water and happily sat in my seat and watched this wonderful movie in this special theater. It's so nice to be able to come to a locally owned and operated theater that is not a chain theater. They have the best snack bar I've ever seen in my life, especially for people that like old school candies and fresh organic popcorn. They even had yeast flakes to put on my popcorn, which brought back so many great memories Thanks for providing a special community gathering spot Ojai Playhouse ! You help make Ojai the happy place that it is

    I wanted to write a positive review for Diane, but I would rather write a thank you note, as it…read morejust makes more sense for me personally. I want to thank you for caring enough to never make me feel like just another actor, or client. Every time we talked on the phone you took the time to patiently answer all my questions and gave me the opportunity to follow up when I had more! Thank you for the many, many, many questions you have answered to help me on my path as an actor after leaving the military! You know how treacherous it can be for actors to open themselves up to their emotional baggage, and you not only tread lightly but you never pushed to the point of it hurting. You care more about us as people than getting a certain result, and that is tremendous in this industry. It means the world to have you not only in my life as a teacher, but as an over all coach since we have talked just about everything! Thank you for being the non-judgmental mother I never had, and the teacher I needed to guide me. I could never just give you a review because what you give of yourself is so much more than anything that could ever be judged. You share yourself and your life with us and it not only makes us as your students not feel so alone in this journey, but it helps us not feel so hopeless during these difficult times. Thank you for never judging me or making me feel as broken as I always feel. You have this gift of empowering me thru all of my pain and suffering in life. I don't know how you do it, but thank you for teaching me how to use that pain as fuel instead of letting it drain the life out of me. For the first time in my life I don't feel like a failure, broken, or hopeless. I know where I belong and you have shown me how to balance and channel my emotions, all of my many many emotions in a way that is productive for me personally! But you didn't railroad me and make me feel wrong for feeling the way that I do even if you might have felt differently, you never made me feel like you were anything but on my side. Like you were cheering for me, and championing for me to be successful in my own way! Thank you, truly, for everything. ~Alice
