20 Best Acting Programs In Denton, TX (2022 Updated)

buses and parking are nightmares here. No parking or you will have to pay everytime you park including weekend whereas other schools often free. Buses always late and full. The school not even tried to get more buses. Also, there is 40mins wait between 2 buses. Finally, unequal opportunity for on cambus job or help. We came to many departments and asked for help but they rarely tried to solve but kept saying we could not do anything. And we came back multiple time and the other did help us out. So what is the point of saying we cannot do anything when another people in the department can? unequal training? Also, if you are looking for a job here, good luck!duc nguyen

I enjoyed my time at UNT, made some great friends, and I have good memories. However, this University is not longer a place of higher education but a political activist training ground. I never thought that I’d see the day that The First Amendment would not be honored at UNT, but that is what has happened. And to think I have a degree in Criminal Justice from there is similar to being trained as an EMT by Dr. Kevorkian. Awful….it’s too bad that I will not be able to hire any students (or UNTs “product”) from here as it’s just too risky. Same with giving to the Development office.Where's Waldo?

The Grad program is a joke. I've never met more people incompetent of doing their job. The undergrad school should conduct training with the grad school to get them up to par. Because they dropped the ball, I now get stuck with their issues. Also the elderly lady working in billing should take a phone etiquette class. We are in 2022. There shouldn't be this many issues consistently happening. Yet, the undergrad side was on top of every single aspect. How does one half do the absolute best, and the other completely flop.Ashlee Cacciatore

Great place to explore the intricacies of Pokémon Go. There are giant prairie dogs that pop up from the sewer and steal your organs and sell them on the dark web. It’s not so much a college of music, but more a tepid wasteland of forgotten dreams. It is really difficult to get fresh seafood in this area so get ready to fill the void in your life with permanent markers and silver spray paint. You will succeed here if you have the passion and drive to crush others in your path. The bathrooms smell like an aging pirate with leprosy. Some of the teachers are nice and can show you epic dance moves.Funky Knuckles

I loved being a part of this College of Music. They really are a family, and they always will be to me. Definitely on of the gems of the North Texas area. I wish them all the best!Katherine Clark

KD Conservatory is a fantastic, intensive, pro-active program that will teach you everything you need to know to confidently enter the world of entertainment on any level, be that live theatre, television, broadcast, film on ANY side of the camera (actors, writers, directors, producers, all forms of the crew, etc…), as well as build you a rock solid foundation of acting technique, acute physical awareness, and an entertainment business acumen on which to accurately and responsibly make choices about your work. Furthermore, KD Conservatory has not only aided my education and lead me to professional work in my industry, but the school has facilitated the same success to my circle of alumni (of no less than a dozen that I can recall off-hand) who all continue to make money doing what they love- acting, singing, dancing, music directing, directing, producing, and teaching. Advice: Don't EVER accept advice on acting from somebody who is not a successful working actor. Don't seek their counsel because they know nothing. People who say that this school is a scam are either not serious enough about their career to understand the training they really need. OR, they are already beyond the teaching they could potentially receive at KD and should, therefor, already be booking professional gigs. Lastly, BE ADSIVED, NOTHING WILL BE HANDED TO YOU. There are those who graduate from the program and do nothing. And there are those who work. If you are open to learning, it's worth it.D'Andre Childs

I have been training at KD Conservatory for 4 weeks now as a Musical Theatre major and let me tell you that this place is amazing. There are some amazing opportunities from training with Michael Serrechia and putting on Musical performances to learning Ballet technique to learning piano, increasing your acting abilities, jazz, tap, vocal performance and so much more!!! I have also met some amazing people here already and made lifelong friends. Please consider KD to pursue your Motion Picture Performance, Acting, or Musical Theatre careers!!!AustinFrickinJon

My experience was great! My daughter's teacher was amazing! Not to often you find a teacher who loves what they do and are good at it! I'd recommend this school to my family and friends! Update! 4years later and my daughter still go to this school! We took a year and a half off but came right back! The teachers are still great and they have an awesome desk lady. I forget her name I think it’s Tish, she is great to talk if you want to sit and wait. Keep up the great work you guys. Also they are managing well with social distancing!SexyAssKellyB

I really wanted to bring my 2 year old to go see the lion king Jr play this evening. I called to find out more info, but was lead to disappointment when I found out that it is still $8 for my son to go. He might not even sit through the whole thing. I just feel like that was a little ridiculous. I can understand if your child is 3 or 4, but most places let your 2 year old eat or get into places for free. I have always wanted to go…but this kind of sets the tone.Carrie

Fun theater, excellent play (Matilda). Looked nice on the inside, but had issues with bathrooms. It was too warm for such a packed house and how close the seating is. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt due to reopening after being closed for COVID. I would have preferred a mask requirement at this time, but they are not alone with this. I would go back to see another play and think that this theater definitely deserves community support.Doug Ratcliff

Review is for 'Sordid Lives' Price of admission is advertised as $11/8. My wife and I were charged $22 each. Asked the young man why his reply "that was a special" price. Did not care for the production, although several interesting subtle points were conveyed the use of profanity and over sexual themes diluted any artistic message. Don't waste your time.Bubba Putin

Went to see a play here for the first time. Beautiful venue, asthetically. Staff was friendly. Cons: 1. Confiscated my elderly mother's water bottle. She needs it due to a medical condition. She will hack and cough otherwise, which would obviously be disruptive to other patrons. She didn't mention this to the staff and allowed them to keep the water. By the time I was aware, it was already in the trash. 2. Have to pay to park nearby ($5) because it was the weekend, but some parking options were up to $15. 3. Venue generally doesn't seem handicapped or elderly friendly. The front entrance is down a long sloping ramp. Likely a challenge for anyone with mobility issues. The seats themselves require climbing 2 flights of stairs & then more stairs (maybe up, maybe down) depending on the seats purchased. There is apparently an elevator but I never did see where it was, but I didn't seek out an usher for assistance either. After you arrive at the top of the platform, there are small steps going down to the floor seats, but there is no handrail attached to the wall and the steps themselves could use more clear marking. They currently have what looks like white tape or plastic to alert you to the step. My mother didn't see it and I had to point it out. Bottom line, awesome place if you don't have mobility/health issues. If you do, I'd call ahead with questions or seek out an usher for assistance upon arrival and stay close to loved ones with these issues. I would return, but would not take my mother back. If you live in DFW, Bass Hall or Theater Arlington are much more accommodating for anyone with mobility issues.A. Beaverhausen

This isn’t a theatre, this is a high school auditorium. The seats are actual fold out chairs with slight padding on the bottom only, set on top of noisy and unstable risers. My seat was so uncomfortable I had to leave during intermission. I think I had more elbow room on an airplane than these seats. I couldn’t sit fully back in my seat without touching the man’s shoulder next to me. Sadly, I saw a Texas Ballet show here. I say sadly because I’ve seen several of their performances at other theaters that were wonderful experiences. There is no space for an orchestra, even though they offer orchestra seating… so the ballet was done to a recording over a sound system that I truly believe the stereo in my car could have done a better job projecting. The ushers sat people who came late in the middle of the first part of the performance and it was very disruptive as they used flashlights and spoke very loudly, even though their policy stated no late seating. Lastly, the house lights are stage lights so dress very lightly because you will roast before the performance from the combination of the lights and body heat from sitting so closely to everyone. And it will not cool down any after the lights go down. Everyone was fanning themselves with their programs. The fact that there are only good reviews for this theatre is baffling as everyone sitting around me complained about the seating and lack of orchestra.Jessica Lawhon

I always hesitate to leave bad reviews because I don’t intend to do harm, but I feel obligated to call out businesses when I see fit… First of all the theater looks like a high school auditorium. It’s small, grungy, and just not aesthetically pleasing at all. Uncomfortable AND hideous green seats? Yup. Bad lighting? Yes. Secondly, I’m all for safety in this crazy Covid world, but hearing the employees quietly yell/ loudly whisper multiple times during the performance for individuals to pull their masks up over their noses got annoying quick. Concession prices are astronomical but since that’s pretty normal these days, it’s not worth commenting on further than that. I would skip this theater at all costs unless there’s something you REALLY want to see, I guess. Moody, Winspear, pretty much all the others are 5 stars compared to this place. With all that said, Texas Ballet Theater did a phenomenal job! They’re the only reason I gave 2 stars but I would overall rate their performance a SOLID 9/10.Andy Terzyan

This is an amazing school. All the instructors are of the highest caliber. My daughter takes piano and voice at DAMPA. She has been there a year and has improved beyond anything I could ever imagine. She is learning to read music and even compose a bit. Sarah, is her voice teacher, and she is such an amazing talent. She has really helped my daughter grow in confidence with her range. She is also very good at not only teaching voice but teaching the kids how to be an artist. She gives my daughter songs that compliment her old soul. Sarah, is the ultimate professional and truly loves her craft. That passion for music fuels the kids I believe. My daughter has so much respect for her and works hard, in between lessons, because she feels that is what is expected with Sarah. I love it. Paul, her piano teacher is also fabulous. He is a natural teacher. You can tell that he really loves what he does and has a real connection with the kids. He has a very impressive background. Many of his students have ended up on the "Voice". Paul, is a unique piano and voice teacher because he likes to move along at a bit of a faster pace, so the kids don't get bored by repeating the same songs. My daughter has advanced at an incredible rate. She can now download the sheet music of any song off the internet and play it. She is even composing her own songs now on the piano. I can't recommend this school enough. The staff is all really kind and encouraging and really on top of it. They have a lot of activities like Open Mic Nights, musicals and recitals through out the year. So your child will have a lot of opportunities to perform if they want that.julia briggs

No recommend at all. Not organized. I did sign up the class for my baby girl and I have scheduled to come in her class. When I got there and the teacher was said she dis not her has my baby class that day. So I went there of nothing. That is really mess up. Time is so important nowadays and when you take time to take your baby go class and when you show up, they said they can teach my baby one hour later. Not good place to recommend at all. If you sign up and just bring headache to you. Now I have to deal how to cancel and get refund. Really headache and wasting time. You should find somewhere else better than this one.Emma Ramon

My daughter started school here this year and she loves it. She attends the conservatory program which is online academic classes from 9-12 and performing arts classes from 12-4. Anyone who is interested in giving their child a more thorough, well-rounded education that differs greatly from “traditional” schooling should seriously consider talking to one of the many great people who work at DAMPA 🙂Jennifer Finnigan

CYT Dallas is so amazing! I have never felt so at home. The kids here are just so awesome and welcoming, they’ll actively try to be your friend, which is really great for people like me who don’t make friends super easily. And don’t even get me started on the shows! They are so high quality, and everyone is so committed to making the show the best that it can be. And of course I have to add how AMAZING this staff is. They are all so encouraging and are actively devoted to spreading the Gospel not just with the kids in the program, but with the world. If I can only think of one bad thing to say, it would be that I didn’t come sooner!L. Griffith

I was blown away by the level of the productions put on by CYT. Experiencing these musicals in my living room have given me the feeling of being part of the live audience! And just the stage props, choreography and star performances go above and beyond what is expected in a youth theater. I felt like I was watching a play put on by a professional and established theater group made up of adults but knowing these are all kids under the age of 18 is unbelievable! Great job! All your hard work is evident in these performances!Erin O'Brien

CYT Dallas has quality entertainment for the entire family. The children in the classes receive the best training in the area. The staff is caring, knowledgeable and Christ centered. If you want your child to be molded with values, selfworth, confidence and integrity, then this is the place for them. The shows have had beautiful costumes, amazing sets, great sound and very talented casts. We look forward to bringing our family to many more shows in the future.Allison Mayberry

Steve has been a miracle worker for me! I approached Steve on a Saturday for my dad. He was on a vacation in Oklahoma and still managed to answer my phone and immediately helped out Over the phone with my dad and then in person the next day on his way back home. Upon our discussions I told Steve that I myself suffered from severe back pain. I am a dentist and Steve was the first physiotherapist to spend the time on discussing ergonomics with me and also some mild morning routine exercises. Turns out an episode of back pain that usually takes me 6-8 weeks to heal is now significantly better after just a couple visits and a week. The convenience that he offers to come over to my house is a huge benefit. He even talked to my personal trainer to discuss what exercises I could do and not do. I highly recommend Steve to anyone needing a PT, specially for lower back pain and herniated discs. Thanks Steve.Vikram Gandhi

I was in pain in my lower back and hip area for years. I went to doctors and chiropractors and still in pain. I ended up just taking medicine to manage the pain. Later I found a doctor that referred me To physical therapy where I met Steve. On the first session he assessed me and did an adjustment and had me do some stretches. I immediately felt relief. I didn’t know how it felt to be pain free as it had been so long. One session I was free of pain. I continued seeing him to strengthen and ensure the issue would not return. I highly recommend Steve. He was the only one who was able to identify the concern and come up with a plan to make sure I would remain pain free.C’s True Review

Stephen is an excellent physical therapist who takes the time to genuinely get to know his patients and what is going on with them. I am a PT student, and Stephen was my clinical instructor for 8 weeks. While I worked with him, he taught me quality manual therapy techniques, how to identify and treat many diagnoses, creative treatment ideas, how to care for patients, and more. He is extremely knowledgable and has extensive training in orthopedic physical therapy. Stephen always spends time listening to and educating his patients so they are in the loop and a part of their healthcare. I would recommend Stephen to anyone in need of physical therapy treatment!Michelle Scheffler

New Song School of The Arts is AMAZING! My children have both taken lessons there: Private Viola and Private Voice. They also have attended many of the wonderful camps ranging from Musical Theater to Raps Beatz Loops, Art, Chamber Orchestra and Triple Threat Camp. Every time we meet a new member of the school – we are impressed with not only their talent but professionalism! The teachers are a cut above the rest! The owner Heather is amazing too!!!! She is one of the most kind, sweet, talented, upbeat and friendly owners out there! She will go above and beyond for anyone who attends her school and treats them like friends or family! Her staff has that same wonderful attitude! There are so many amazing people that work there but our favorites are: Heather Parks, Ms. Emily (viola), Rita (voice), Bette and Sydney (musical theater), Tayloir, Christian!!! If your kids are looking for a wonderful place for lessons or camps – THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE! You'll absolutely LOVE NSSOTA!!!!!Emily Hendrix Powell

We attend the Music Together class at New Song with Miss. Tara. This class has had such a positive impact on my toddler. We are not a musical family but I understand the importance of introducing music at an early age. It’s great for me too because Miss. Tara let’s the parents know why we’re doing what we’re doing and the positive effects it has on our kids. There’s an emphasis on rhythm and tone and establishing those elements as a foundation for continuous learning. I became interested in finding a music school after reading about studies at MIT that show kids who are introduced to music early can have better outcomes with reading. We aren’t ready for preschool yet and I wanted something that we could do together so this really fit what we were looking for.Jillian

We LOVE music together with Ms Tara! Being an SLP, I know there are many ways to target speech and language development and when I noticed my little one was delayed we decided to enroll her in this class (not specifically as a treatment but just for fun, while knowing the benefits music can have on language development). Within the first session we have noticed her really growing in her language and even more so, truly developing a LOVE for music (and a love for her sweet teacher!). This is such a special time to spend with her 1:1 each week and all our family enjoys listening to her “perform” the songs she learns in class. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone considering it, you won’t be disappointed.Theresa Brown

When I started Drama Kids I was a chubby 3rd grader who got teased a lot in school. However, over the 9 years I spent in the program I truly transformed. Drama Kids taught me how to be confident in myself and that I was more than the mean things kids would say to me on the playground. It gave me a place to fit in and make friends as I grew up. Then when the time came around for college and I had interviews for scholarships, I was selected for 3! All thanks to the speaking skills Drama Kids had taught me. I would recommend this program to any parent because I know that it was probably the best thing my parents could have done for me growing up. Drama Kids truly gave me lifelong skills. I went from that socially awkward and insecure 3rd grader to a register nurse now working in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at a nationally ranked hospital. Thank you so much Drama Kids! You truly impacted my life!Kara Foster

Drama Kids is a fantastic program! The kids have a blast. The teaching method that is used not only improves the kids’ acting abilities, but their public speaking skills as well. Drama Kids builds confidence in kids and prepares them for their futures. The skills they learn from this program will help them later in life wether it be for an audition, college speech course or a job interview. The Dallas franchise is currently #1 in the nation and even with all those kids, it is well organized and managed. The staff is helpful with questions/concerns and it is obvious that the teachers genuinely care for their classes. The performances that are put on each Spring are impressive and give the kids a chance to perform on a real stage. I can’t say enough good things about Dallas Drama Kids. They are successfully instilling this generation of kids with life long skills all through the fun of drama.Kelsey Foster

FANTASTIC program. My child has experienced speech delays since he was a toddler. This program has helped him with not only his speech delays but with public speaking as well. His confidence has skyrocketed. He has made so many friends and LOVES his teacher. He is so excited to go to Drama Kids class each week. It is his favorite part of the week! I’m so grateful for this program and what it has done for my child. I would highly recommend this program to everyone I know who has a child. Thank you, Drama Kids!Kasidy Cahill

About a year ago, my husband and I decided to support our daughter’s request to begin acting lessons. Neither of us have any experience with acting let alone the industry so in our naivety, we heard an ad o the radio for a casting call for kids wanting to “make it” in the acting industry. We attended the seminar and thankfully very quickly realized that this organization was a potential scam. While the experience definitely made us extremely cautious our daughter still wanted to pursue her love of acting. After a few weeks of doing detailed research, we came across Dallas Young Actors Studio. After reading many reviews and doing an extensive background search, we auditioned for Linda. We’ve been amazed ever since! The weekly classes are not only fun for her to attend but offer relevant training that can be applied to acting in the tv/movie industry which is vastly different than theater performances. Our daughter also participated in two summer camps that gave her real-world experience in sitcom acting – there’s even a live taping! This past spring, she participated in the Hollywood Showcase in front of a top Hollywood children’s agency and Hollywood Casting Director. Her scene was carefully chosen and rehearsed for almost two months – this was extremely impressive and I knew that this showcase offered a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be seen by some of the top agents and casting directors in Hollywood. The agents and casting directors that Linda brings to Showcase are The Real Deal. After the showcase, our daughter was invited to Hollywood to audition for the agency department heads and has since been auditioning for various roles, including some feature film voice over roles. Linda's experience in the industry and honesty in the reality of pursuing a career in the TV and Film industry has been crucial in preparing our family, not just our daughter. Our goal with this experience was to not only foster our daughter’s love of acting but also to give her life-long tools that will help her in all aspects of her life including professional behaviors, and strong public speaking skills. I would highly recommend Dallas Young Actors Studio whether you are you looking for a way to support your child’s love for acting or just be more comfortable in public speaking situations. Your child will no doubt gain valuable skills that will last a lifetime!Danielle White

This place is amazing!!! My daughter started at DYAS in the acting classes at 14yrs old. She has always done theater, but really wanted to do more in TV/Film. We found DYAS and it has been wonderful! Not only has she learned acting skills, but also behind the scenes…camera, lighting, editing, sound, etc… The coaches know how to bring out the best in each student, which helps build confidence, not being afraid to speak in front of others, improvising, and so many more skills that will help them in life. Plus, my daughter is building her resume with all the experiences she is getting at DYAS. As a volunteer mom, I have learned so much from other the "seasoned" moms and from Linda Seto about the industry and on what my role is in helping to guide my daughter to be her very best! Thank you Linda and Thank you Coaches for caring and for our kids! Look forward to the next few years!!!Andrea Cowand

My daughter Sophia loves DYAS! She has always been the kind of child who loves the stage and exploring her creative side. She has performed in many community plays and had the desire to move into film and tv acting. After researching the area, reading reviews and watching youtube videos on DYAS, she enrolled this past summer and has loved every minute of it. The amount of time and effort all of the teachers pour into her each week is fabulous. The school offers many exciting opportunities each month in addition to their regularly scheduled classes. Linda, the owner is a go-getter, full of life and knowledge. We look forward to continuing my daughter's experiences here and I encourage all parents to give it a try if your child is interested in acting. This is the best place for them!Megan Lynch

Summer is hands down AMAZING!! We adopted my chihuahua terrier in December and and as first time rescue parents, we had no clue where to begin with training!! We tried numerous tips and tricks recommended online but nothing seemed to work! I found Summer’s training info online and it was like fate was on my side; I had to call her ASAP! She responded to our inquiry extremely fast. When she stopped by for the initial meeting, she was the sweetest most patient person ever. She explained the training process for her board and train and we were set! She was extremely nice and kept me updated every now and again as I requested (I hadn’t been away from my dog for over a few hours so 3 weeks felt like a lifetime)!! When my dog came back we were blown away; my dog came back a completely different dog! He went from terrible 2s to this fancy well behaved dog. I was amazed by her hard work (if you would’ve seen my dog before, you would be too)!! Her training didn’t end there though, she sets up group classes all the time! If anyone is looking for a dog trainer, I HIGHLY recommend Summer…you won’t regret it!!Brianna Lincoln

We got our dog about a year ago and while he was eager to learn and listened well he had some serious reactivity issues and some resource guarding. His reactivity seemed to make it impossible to enjoy time outside the home with him and the resource guarding caused issues in the home. Summer came in and not only taught our dog how to listen to us even when the urge to go full blown reactive hit but she also taught us how to communicate effectively with him and set expectations with him that led to success. We’ve been able to enjoy our dog in way that we previously couldn’t. Not only am I not afraid to go out with him but we are regularly going for several mile walks without any outbursts. She gave us peace inside our home along with the tools and knowledge to continue making progress and enjoy our dog. Summer’s training has been invaluable and we can’t recommend her enough.Cheyenne Phillips

Summer from On the Ball K9 Training is absolutely fantastic. We did private, in home training sessions with our dog Shadow and it has made a world of difference. Before working with Summer, Shadow was reactive towards people and dogs while out on the leash. Summer taught us how to provide structure and leadership for our dog to help him lead a happier life. Even after our in-home lessons we still take Shadow to group classes that Summer conducts to continue working on our training. Not only is Summer incredibly caring towards all of the dogs I have seen her work with, she is also a great teacher for the people who own them. I cannot recommend Summer enough!Karli Spangler

I can not say enough good things about Curtain Call. I had been looking for something for my daughter that would give her a positive experience in expressing her creativity, and confidence. A friend recommended Jill, and Curtain Call. So we gave it a try, and I’m so glad we did. She made every child in the cast feel special, and valued. She treated them all with respect and listened to everything the kids had to say. As a parent I felt I got to be involved in so much. Everyone was so welcoming and I felt like I got to be just as much a part of Curtain Call as my daughter. Even after attending every practice and dress rehearsal I still was amazed by the final production. Jill has such a way with the kids that they retained so much during their practices. I really wish we would have found them sooner!!Tiffany Daugherty

We love Curtain Call! What Jill is able to help the kids to do is amazing. My child’s class had 12 children under 12 putting on a 2-hour musical! Jill lets each child help choose their part and every role is an essential part of the play! Every child gets to speak and sing by themselves many times throughout the play. And afterwards they get to sign autographs for the crowd! It is so beautiful to see the children work toward something together and feel proud of themselves. I know of no other program anywhere around me that offers what Jill offers. If your child is interested in acting or singing, I highly recommend Curtain Call!Kimberly K.

I cannot say enough incredible things about Curtain Call Children's Theatre. Jill, the Director, is phenomenal with the children. She gives each child the opportunity to shine! We have put our daughters in other theatre programs around town and Curtain Call blew us away. The fact that Jill allows EVERY student to feel like the main character, (with several speaking and singing roles), gives the children the courage and confidence to be the best they can be. Hats off to Jill's talent and love for the theatre!!!Jann Villanueva

My daughter is currently in Shrek Jr the Musical. She is having the best time!!! 🙂 She loves being a part of the show and the teachers and staff are amazing!!! 🙂 She comes home every night in the best mood and proud to share all that she has learned. What an incredible place Studio B is!!! 🙂 I LOVED watching opening night last night and excited to see the remaining 5 shows!!! We are signed up for the next show and look forward to more in the future!!! 🙂 I highly recommend Studio B! 🙂Emily Hendrix Powell

My husband and I attended Studio B for the first time to their summer production of All Shook Up, at the recommendation of a friend. We had so much fun! Laughing, singing, and enjoying the show! The teens had a passion for what they were doing that showed so evidently through their performances, which also gives a clue as to the support they have through directors & behind the scenes assistants! We cannot wait to attend the next production with our 2 year old daughter in a few weeks!Sarah Langhoff

This studio and performing arts center has been a place of joy and creativity for our family for decades. My son performed at Studio B as a child, adolescent and adult and it has been a pleasure to have been affiliated with it and an audience member for many years. The current play "Oliver" is a stand-out. Cast and crew and all involved have been outstanding.Julie DeArmond

The MOST AMAZING group of kids and parents, it is an absolute joy every time we go here. Just magical. My kids love it here, I love it here, we jump at every chance to attend a production. My son wants to attend theater camp so badly. I am absolutely blown away by the dedication to the productions, the sets, and the talent of these kids. 5 stars just isn’t a high enough rating, ACT should get like…11 starsJamie Webster

Kid's theatrical programs. Great place for kids 5+ to learn basics of theatre performance and production. My daughter participated in a 4 month program to perfom Jack and the Giant Beanstalk. We worked with her to help her memorize her lines for her 2 roles. She did great! You get out what you put into it. Staff is awesome in communicating with the parents. I recommend for any young, aspiring thespian.Thomas Checketts

Attended The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe in which our niece performed as The Witch. Great all-around experience. Wonderful staff with a nice venue. The theater-style seating was nice. Large, comfy seats made for a fine experience. Even a nice, quick concession during intermission.Lance Hammon

My daughter has been performing here since 3rd grade and LOVES it! The directors and families make this theatre so very special. We love the opportunity that Fairview Youth Theatre has given our daugther to build character through the performing arts. Additionally, she has the opportunity to serve others while interning. She has learned technical skills such as how to run a sound board and lights for a production. Most importantly though are the friendships she has made through this theatre. The kids are so supportive of one another. We have been extremely impressed with the quality of shows that have taken the stage here too! Would definitely recommend anyone to come and check out a class/camp/production.Christine Kless

I purchased tickets to take my grandson. Wasn't sure how it would go. From the front door to the end of the play – awesome experience. The lady welcomed us and explained the seating. The play was spot on for kids, from instructions on behavior (don't laugh too long or you'll miss things but do laugh, and do clap). The school group was well behaved and the costumes were cute, the actors were delightful. My grandson left and he had laughed, clapped, and had a great time. I highly recommend taking young children to learn to enjoy the theater. KudosGiddy User

The best theatre experience. It's extremely clean & no sticky stuff under your feet. The screen & sound are amazing. Delicious food and great alcoholic drink options. Great for couples because you feel secluded & romantic. The leather seats are so comfortable and can recline all the way back. Free popcorn & water. Also pillows & blankets are provided. The service is impeccable!! Just a wonderful time at the movies. First class all the way.Alexandria Swann

Blown away!! My son recently performed in the school play, and he did quite well. Then he asked to do another play so I started looking for theater opportunities for him. I found the North Texas Performing Arts and sent an email. Brought the info home and discussed it then signed him up for his first theater camp. He was excited every day of camp and came home every day with a smile. The show was brilliant, fun, and so worth it. Seeing these young people get so into their parts and bringing the story to life was amazing. We haven’t allowed my son to audition for the next play just yet, as school is about to start and school comes first, but he will, and I’m sure that he will enjoy his next production. He will also be back for summer camp next year. Well done NTPA.Gary B

I greatly enjoyed the shows I participated in at this theater, however as time went on they became more focused on who donated more, and began to cast based on that. There was a lot of favoritism shown by some directors for students who's parents volunteered and donated money, and those who's parents were busy were often cast as ensemble regardless of skill or experience. The administration there is rarely concerned with anyones opinions if they don't donate any money. Watching the shows is a fun experience.Hannah Firestar

This is an amazing facility and the number of shows and the quality is outstanding. My family and I drive from Irving to attend performances there and I am always blown away by the talent of the kids and adults. The lighting, sound and seating is excellent in each of their four theaters. I wish I had this when I was a kid! Recently I heard they do birthday parties there for kids and I think there was a birthday group there when I last saw Junie B. Jones. What a COOL idea away from the usual pizza place…Michael Hill

Oh how we love OhLook! Let me count the ways… #1- The teachers are amazing! The OhLook kids come out of the program ready to conquer the world! #2- Summer camps! So many options… so many themes! #3- The talent of the student actors! Located in a strip mall and often with minimal sets, the actors always capture the audience and transport them into the story. #4- OhLook knows how to have fun! The late night shows are incredible! The perfect date night or mom’s night out! #5- OhLook is one big happy family! Everyone is loved and supported. Young kids are mentored by the high school kids and the high school kids are supported by the college kids and OhLook alum. Come see a show, take a class or join the family! You won’t regret it!Ashlee Fort

Cant say enough about this Children's theater! We tried a few classes with other local studios and Ohlook is the most professional, convenient, and affordable theater around! This is the place to go if your kiddos (any age) want to try out Acting, dance and/or Musical Theater! Top notch instructors, amazing opportunities with wonderful and meaningful shows! Gives every child an opportunity to explore the stage! What gives it that final star out of 5— this is a true Community Theater as well!!!! Its Mainstage and Late night shows spotlight DFW Talent at its very best- you wont be disappointed!!!! Check them out!!!Meredith Martin

My daughter loved the camp she took here when she was 5, and often asks when she can go back to “the good theater” to take another! I love that it’s a totally warm and welcoming environment, empowering to students of all ages. If our schedule were less complicated we’d be spending all our free time here but as it is, we enjoy attending whatever shows we can. They’re always creatively produced, bursting with passion and with strong, surprising talent.Jai Lynn Sovereign

I love the shows at UNT sky theater they are so creative and relaxing I encourage everyone to come to a show I especially loved the shows by James hood and I wanted to tell whoever is in charge of the sky theater to please try to bring that show back I sought many many times and I would see it again and again thank you for providing us these beautiful shows at the UNT sky theaterJeremy U's ReevU

My daughter (4) absolutely loved "The Little Star That Could". We both learned and had fun! Highly recommend this during a hot summer day!Brentt Petika

Very cool show, our 7 year old had lots of fun and we learned new things as well. Great energy and personality from the presenter!Charlotte Schuessler

I took my daughter to tour the facility and early on Kelsey (employee) let on that I would need to sign a 10 month contract. I stated that I would definitely not entertain signing a contract for my 11 year old daughter to take acting lessons. Kelsey replied , and I am paraphrasing, "Don't worry, you can get out the contact at any time." We decided to take a trial class, which the school calls a consultation. The next day I called to say my daughter enjoyed the class and we wanted to sign up. Then the truth began to slowly emerge. Yes, I have to sign a contact that runs through July 2018. No, there are no "outs." If you miss class, too bad, we don't provide make-ups. Oh, you want too taker a family vacation next summer, well, go right ahead, but you still pay the school and, did I mention, we don't do make-ups. Frisco School of Performing Arts is a good fit for many families, but not my family. We prefer to be treated honestly and with some amount of respect and flexibility.Jeffrey Gurley

Just an update: What an amazing experience. Everything from the institution to the staff is beyond impressive. Special shout-out to Kelsey, the most helpful and personable staff member I’ve ever met. Wow! My son joined a Rock Band at this school along with having private drum lessons. The Rock Band show was so much fun – all student bands performing several songs. He just loves the band rehearsals and his teacher (who is a real band member who plays around town). Thanks for a great show and lots of positive vibes for the kids. My son begged for drum lessons.  He wanted private lessons but we started with the drum class first. He had some basic skills in the class and it is gong well. The teacher is supportive and helps discover his passion for music. He likes the group atmosphere and teacher helps each child at their individual pace. We had a performance class and he was very proud to show us what he has learned. We are thinking of getting a drum set for him to play at home.Heather Sloan

I worked for the Frisco School of Music for 3 years, and I have to say it was the best job experience I've had yet. Chris Duncan and her team of administrators and front desk staff have created a music learning experience unparalleled by any business I've worked for. I was treated with the utmost respect while I worked there . The school is buzzing with energy and excitement. The facilities and equipment are top notch. They have a huge faculty of music educators that offers each student a variety of instruments and teaching methods with each teacher having a unique personality, background, and experiences. No other school offers more opportunities to perform and showcase talent and knowledge than FSM. Even though I've been gone for a year now, FSM continues to be a source of support and inspiration for me as I continue on in my music career. Thank you Frisco School of Music for your years of dedication to quality business!Kc Graham
