Oakland Theatre Arts Guild Reviews

 Cute theater with polite and helpful staff. The kids are involved with running the venue (ushering, cleaning, etc) which I think is fantastic. Great overall experience and we will be back.

 Such a great show! And this was my daughter’s first lead at starlight, and it just made it so much better of an experience! Hope she gets more lead roles in the future!

 ***** It is a great time. And everyone is so friendly and accommodating*****

 It is a very cute theater!

 Excellent

 Great show! The kids always do such a wonderful job.

 It was very cute and funny The kids did a great job So talented Props were also very well done!

 Great show kids!!!

 The show

 Awesome show! Great to see all the talented young individuals!

 The website is not very user-friendly.

 Really great experience overall! But two things. Least importantly, your pretzels could be better (they're kind of stale) :). Most importantly, I think you should invest in a limiter or compressor for your sound person. This could help increase the volume of those who speak quietly and limit the volume of those that are loud. It gets really loud at times, to the point of discomfort. Thanks!

 Great Experience! Everyone very Friendly. Show was amazing!

 All of the people working there were extremely friendly and the cast was amazing

 Awesome performance!!

 Please mic the actors. Very difficult to hear them. If you don't have enough for all, at least mic the main ones. I know these are kids learning to be on stage but many talk too fast. Having said all that, I love Starlight's commitment to the kids, so many opportunities to grow.

 It was my 4yo daughter's first experience watching a live performance. She was smiling ear to ear the whole time. The kids did a fantastic job!

 The kids all did an amazing job. Sophie was incredible as Elsa and loved all their costumes. These kids give it their all and it shows. Ollie was great as usual. Till next time!

 Loved the show! The voice and acting of Elsa and Anna was top notch! Had a great time

 Amazing experience from start to finish! I highly recommend Starlight Theater.

 Loved the show! Both of my granddaughters were Anna in the show! (Young and Middle)

 Overall was a great production, just a bit of issues with the sound/tech.

 The play was very entertaining and the performers were awesome. We enjoyed this very much.

 Loved Pride and Prejudice! The actors were wonderful. It was highly entertaining. Go see it.

 It was a wonderful performance and everyone was a delight to watch!

 I thought the acting was wonderful. I am in awe of the time and effort it took to memorize the lines. However, I could not hear or understand some of the words being said.

 Wonderful & Fun show!! Great seats.

 All of the kids did a great job! Everyone looked like they were having fun, which made it fun for the audience. All the cast and crew should be very proud to have put on a great show.

 Loved it! Lead actress was AMAZING 👏

 Great show!

 The children in the show did an outstanding job and my husband and I enjoyed ourselves. It is so refreshing to see children doing something constructive, yet fun. Programs like this show the value of kids setting aside smart phones or electronic games, being with other children of all ages, and sticking together to put on a wonderful show. Well done, too, to the director, dance instructor, choral coordinator, and set decorators, and others who made this happen.

 Excellent

 The kids did a wonderful job! This was our first time visiting this theater and my girls and I enjoyed it very much.

 Absolutely loved it!

 Absolutely loved it!

 What a fun play. The whole cast did a great job!

 It was my wife and I first time coming here. It was different for us to do something like this and we weren’t disappointed. Thank you for such a great show!

 Moana Jr was our first performance and we really enjoyed it. The whole show was fun and the performers did an amazing job and were very professional. We will be back!

 Cute show and the kids did well

 Incredible! Our first time attending and I couldn't have been more pleased. A community gem! Look forward to returning often.

 Once again great early evening! Great theme incorporated with these performances showing anything is possible reach for it!!!

 Amazing performance and so much fun to watch them !!! Perfect in everyway !!!

 Unfortunately we came down with a bug and couldn’t attend.

 I really enjoy how you involve so many kids and encourage them to give such great performances.

 I couldn’t understand very many of the children speaking. Too quiet or mumbled too quickly. My 4 seats were by a big trash can on the left front row, as you looked at the stage. A lot of the scenes were blocked by too many children in the cast on the left of the stage, so we couldn’t see the manger or what was happening on the center of the stage. We all were very disappointed that these seats were available for sale. They should have been blocked for this performance.

 It was amazing

 Such an amazing show! Great job all!

 So entertaining and well put together. I’m always impressed with the shows you put on! The children - and in this case the adults, too - really seemed to enjoy themselves!

 Loved it!

 Well done. Kids looked liked they were enjoying themselves, yet being professional Liked the casual and friendly atmosphere of the theater.

 Girl Scout invited us

 What a powerful performance from the Actress that played Joan. Love this theater!

 My review: 12/10--The cast was phenomenal. At times, I found myself immersed in the scene on stage and forgot I was watching a play. THERE IS A SWORD FIGHT! I laughed, cried, and connected with Joan’s strength and persistence- I left inspired. Charles the Dauphin was such a dynamic character in an otherwise dark story.

 Need to replace seats row G

 Loved Willie Wonka! All the characters were amazing

 Well done! It’s amazing how quickly this show happened - well organized! Excellent singing, stage presence! Love what this theatre does for children

 Fabulous event. The students and cast were SIMPLY AWESOME

 It was awesome!!!

 It was great! The kids did a wonderful performance. Staff were pleasant. The theater is small enough that you can see the stage well no matter what seat you are in.

 Amazing performance.....costumes, makeup and so enjoyable !!! Thank you for everyone who participates !!!!

 Very nice and well done. Had never been before will be back. Room was abit hot. Thermostat set at 76!!!

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ what a delightful evening

 Very impressed with Fiddler on the Roof! One of my favorites and they did a great job! Did not disappoint!

 Great performance but very long. It would be helpful to state the length of the performance somewhere or the acts in the play bill. It was too long for my little one who I always take to your plays.

 What an amazing show!

 The talent on that stage last night was truly remarkable! I felt like I was at a Broadway play!! Bravo!

 The play and acting was awesome. The theater chairs were awful.

 Absolutely wonderful production. The microphones helped so much to hear everyone!!!!

 I was delighted with the performance. It was captivating from beginning to end.

 Beautiful music, great acting and a lot of fun!

 Good Show, Friendly volunteers and staff

 It was very amazing :)

 There was an issue with our tickets but we were flexible and someone immediately took care of it. Very pleased. Wish I knew her name but I believe her daughter played Lily. On the performance - great job. The vocals are wonderful! Outstanding performances by Anya and Vlad - two best actors in the show!

 The show was very well done, loved the video background.

 Great but pricey for a child’s seat and all kids performance. Anastasia was a fantastic singer.

 It was the best one this year. I really enjoyed it.

 My seat should have been half price - I could only see half of the performance from seat A-20 because curtain in the way.

 We loved the performance. Those kids did an awesome job. The seating definetly needs an upgrade and the ease of getting consesions could be more clear. After getting our tickets we headed for popcorn! Only to have to go back to the ticket desk to pay there. Otherwise we enjoyed the show.

 Great performance!!

 Loved my Daughter and Granddaughter together.

 Wonderful - great production!

 I’ve seen many many shows there but this was one of my absolute favorites. All of the kids were amazing and played with so much heart and enthusiasm. Especially the daughter Beth narrating the entire play. She had me and many others teary at the end. She was wonderful and these kids work so hard and enjoy it so much. Was sad when it was over! Could have watched much longer.

 Great show!
