Working with Billy Gallo at Manhattan Actor Studio was a game changer for my son. He came in with a…read moredream of becoming an actor, and within 10 months, with Billy's guidance, that dream became a reality and he is an actor! The VIP Experience Package set us up for success. Billy provided weekly thoughtful, quality material that expanded my son's range and growth. Billy also helped us think through social media content , guided us on the right at-home self-tape equipment, and even took the time to help me understand the audition process. We now have the right assets to put in front of agents and casting directors - headshots and several professional reels to choose from. What truly sets Billy apart is the relationship he builds with his students, his teaching style is both motivating and structured, helping young actors build confidence. I highly recommend Manhattan Actor Studio VIP package for anyone serious about launching or advancing an acting career.

Between the two of them we've probably been involved in 20 different POPs productions and our girls have learned so much. Regardless of role, in each production the girls have felt valued, developed wonderful friendships, learned teamwork, and the value of hard work! In addition to the productions, POPS also has great training classes for Acting, Voice, and Dance of which we've tried several. The owners, Julia and Mark Mirkovich, have worked to build an amazing youth theater company where the productions are outstanding. The producers, directors, and teachers Hazel, Ashley, Chloe, Evie, and Marcela work so hard with the kids to teach and support the kids as they learn about theater. If your kids want to try musical theater, POPs is a great place to check out!

Growing up in the South Bay, Torrance Cultural Arts Center became near and dear to my heart. When I…read morewas younger I took different classes dance classes here. I remember taking ballet as kid and modern dance as a teen. I also took a workout class when I was in college. I always appreciated the large and spacious dance studios where the classes were held. Now that I'm older I've also come to appreciate Torrance Cultural Arts Center as a venue. I've been to several different festivals here such as the Japanese Matsuri Festival and Lunar New Year festival. This spot is perfect for the community to get together and like how each festival is able to have many different booths. I also love how there is a stage area both outside and inside. I've also attended the Torrance Firefighters' Annual Spaghetti Dinner here. This is another great event at this spacious venue. Despite it being quite a popular dinner, there''s plenty of room for all to enjoy an evening out. Torrance Cultural Arts Center is great! Whether it be for classes or community events or festivals, this spot is perfect for small or large gatherings.

The Torrance Cultural Center has several buildings located near the Torrance main library. The…read moreJames Armstrong Theatre is just one of them. There are other halls that are available for rental if you want to have a wedding or some kind of function. They have a beautiful Japanese garden located on the north side of the center. The only drawback I have regarding the Torrance cultural center is that the Armstrong Theatre needs to have their chairs and some of the facilities renovated. The piano that sits in the green room needs re-tuning or replaced. The auditorium chairs in the Armstrong desperately needs new furbishing other than that, it's a great place to come see a local performance of the local groups in the area. The Torrance cultural center would've had a five star review for me if the facilities were kept in better working order.

I think one of the best qualities he has as a coach, is that he's able to communicate information well to his students. Also, he's a passionate man and genuinely cares.

They've been incredibly helpful. Great man! Great studio!
