Asked parents to leave and then asked small children (under 10) what their pronouns were. Absolutely not the place to be trying to influence gender identity. Then heard a little girl crying that someone hit her head and the teacher said “I didn’t see it” and ignored the little girl crying standing right next to her.

My daughter goes here and loves it, I've never ever felt like we were treated poorly or were unwanted at this establishment. Everyone is so nice and helpful. I am not that knowledgeable in the theatre but I am down to learn more as this has opened my daughters mind as to what she wants to do moving forward in the school arts programs, she is really happy to find out that she does love the theatre and wants to pursue this in school-YAY. Thanks YAAL for all that you do!!

If you are a small business owner I would advise to be very cautious about doing business with this company. I’m not sure they realize people are human and things happen, they also have very high expectations however expect to pay very low price for services because they are a non profit. They will watch their cameras to make sure you spend at least 60 mins if not longer in their business doing services for them. Lack of communication within is also a huge issues. I also haven’t heard the best things about them and how they are with children.

I took my daughter here for one day there was a little boy that hit her. And the woman in charge that could not understand the parenting plan. I had a really big problem with it. But either way she was asked not to return. But I asked her for a copy of the receipt before and after it and. I did not get it. I had tried to contact this person several times.

What pleasure! The kids always seem to be enjoying themselves so much. The play selection is great. I even particularly enjoy the kids bustling about the darkened stage for the scene changes. Fun! Fun! Fun!
