First off, I'm exhausted from taking my five year old daughter to her tech week (performance week). It's a week long nigh commitment and parents can choose to help and they work hard if they opt in! And we have been at the theater until almost 10 or 11 PM every night this week. Welcome to theater! I hope this doesn't scare you. This is not a cute little school production. We are working on "Into the Woods," which is in itself a tough play. The theme, the music, the requirements for actors interactions, space and so on. There's a lot going on. To add fuel to this fire, this particular show has some added elements. This is a ballpark figure, but there are at least 100 actors, ages five to adults. How cool is that? And these aren't small parts - there is additions dancing and actors of all levels. I love that it's inclusive and the director brought everyone in and showed them how to reach their potential. In the last week, I've watched dress rehearsals of a pro caliber go on (they never seem to end)...this is a lot of work. Everything is top notch quality and the organization, even though at times it resembles a noodle sandwich to the lay audience, all comes together like it's a military march. Rest assured, everyone, even my five year old is having a blast. Tired, but still having fun. Of course you always have a mix of moms and dads who help push things through (walking kids to and from the stage for scenes, helping with the sets, doing hair and makeup). Oh, there's a full professional hired staff doing tech, hair and makeup, set and so on. And Kristi, the Director and owner at large is truly amazing. I mean, she puts this all together and makes it work...it's remarkable. This is a company that operates like a family. I listen to the actors and their interactions. It's another home for a group who loves to be part of a production from beginning to end. So much is to be learned here. This is more of a journey than a (mundane) process. Which means it's hard work because if it's going to be good, it's not always a breeze. Can't wait to do more shows.

Great service . I love my kid going here . Awesome experience. Would definitely recommendread more

He is really passionate about drama and high performance. Since he is a full-time Elementary school teacher, he really knows how to get the best out of these kids. He has a team of excellent choreographers and directors working with him. Their whole team works really hard and the result is a phenomenal production. Drama improves a child's self-confidence in public speaking and provides a great platform for team work. After every performance we are totally awed by the enthusiasm and perfection of the whole team. The only negative I would say is that we are spoilt with TVYPA and would have a tough time doing drama with any other company.

I want to share a story about our family and how Musical Theater, more specifically how RTA…read more(previously Grand Performing Arts) has positively impacted our daughter's lives and our life as a family. My oldest daughter Chloe was bullied in the 2nd and 3rd grade. She was picked on by her peers and then in 3rd grade she was constantly picked on by the same two girls and was physically hurt on a consistent basis by one of them. Based on the observations of Chloe's second grade teacher, Chloe was able to receive some support via a school program run by the school counselor. It was the school counselor that brought to our attention that Chloe's self-confidence needed some support and healing and that by enrolling her in something that allowed her to be creative, to express herself on an individualistic manner, but in a group setting would help her overcome some obstacles. I'm so glad that the school counselor was able to see Chloe. See what she suffered from and seeing what she needed to redirect her on a path of positivity and growth. As we have a family history of depression, I could already see the signs in Chloe and didn't want her to fall into the deep hole I myself fall into time and time again. Soon after, I happened to fall upon a FB Ad for Grand Performing Arts. I contacted Kristi Grand, the Director at the time (and co-founder), shared our story and I felt an immediate connection. That was over 5 years ago. And today, Chloe and her younger sister Ella live, breathe, sleep, eat and dream about the theater. We have found a community/family filled with love, support, positivity, acceptance, and awesome examples of what an awesome place the world would be like if everyone had just a little more singing, dancing and acting in their lives. My husband and I continue to commit ourselves to RTA, supporting them behind the scenes because we BELIEVE in them. Their mission, their vision, their philosophies and we can't thank them enough for saving our little Chloe and bringing us closer as a family. Coach Trent and his staff provide a home away from home for our girls. A place to thrive. A place to be. Join the magic and then you can witness for yourself the proof of what RTA and Musical Theater can do...

No concessions were available on site, but they did offer guests free bottled water in the lobby. Photography and video recording was allowed for this particular show. Note, you can't see the full stage from the side balcony section unless you lean forward drastically as the seats are too far from the railing and unmovable. There are also poles in front of some of the side balcony seats with no advanced notice about the obstructed view when purchasing tickets... there's a reason these are the cheapest seats in the house. The performance was great, including beloved tunes from Mary Poppins (Chim Chim Cher-ee), Cinderella (A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes), 101 Dalmations (Cruella De Vil), Aladdin (Never Had a Friend Like Me), The Little Mermaid (Kiss the Girl), Snow White (Some Day My Prince Will Come), Lady and the Tramp, The Princess and the Frog, Jungle Book, and a non-disney encore of What a Wonderful World.

MC Anthony + DJ / Photo Booth / Lighting = PURE MAGIC…read more When we booked this team for an over the top 8th grade dance party, I said (only half-joking): "I'm looking for ultimate bar-mitzvah-level energy -- the kind that gets every kid dancing, laughing, and begging for just one more song." They didn't just meet that vision -- they blew past it. From the moment the music started, the entire space was transformed. The lighting alone turned a basic banquet room into a full-on club -- festive, electric, and instantly exciting. The photo booth added nonstop silliness and memories, and the kids LOVED it. But the real star of the night was MC Anthony. He is not just an MC -- he's a hype man, a game-show host, a magician, and a kid-whisperer all rolled into one. He had games, contests, call-and-response moments, and the kind of inclusive energy that makes every kid feel comfortable jumping in. Everyone was on the dance floor. Laughing. Moving. Taking risks. Living their best middle-school lives. He somehow managed to: * break the ice instantly * keep energy high for the entire event * make shy kids feel confident * and create a vibe where no one wanted to leave the dance floor If you're looking for a DJ team that doesn't just play music, but creates joy, connection, and unforgettable moments, stop searching. MC Anthony and this team are all that -- and then some. I would book them again in a heartbeat.
