Oakland Theatre Arts Guild Reviews

 I thought the seats in Row A would be uncomfortable, but as it happened, I could make eye contact with my granddaughter during the performance, so they turned out to be great seats!

 Such a nice holiday show that takes us back to the true meaning of Christmas!!

 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!

 The production was amazing.

 We love Starlight Theater!

 Wonderful.

 Always a good time!

 First time attending. Granddaughter in the production.

 Amazing

 Awesome! Great performances all around red cast!

 We enjoyed the shrek performance. All of those kids did a great job!

 Simply the best, the plays seem to be getting better especially the ones with Jacob Truhn in them

 What a heartwarming show! The cast was amazing and had me in tears. Great job Starlight!

  Green cast - found the pushing for the Princess scene to be a bit excessive, after listening to the music for months I was surprised the "human stuff" is a great song and lacking enthusiasm and singers, maybe need to re evaluate some of the "ensemble" and add ones back that offer voices to hear

 Such amazing talent! Sebastian and Ursula were over the top! Only comment would be to start show on time. It’s hard when you have young kids and your expecting to have it start at 730pm.

 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.

 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.

 The kids did such a great job and the team is amazing with the kids. This was my son's second play here and he can't wait to do more, he enjoyed it so much! Thanks to everyone for making it such a fun and memorable experience!

 Loved it!

 Such a fun performance! The kids never fail to amaze!

 The kids chosen for their parts were perfect. The boy chosen to play James (he was also an OppaLupa) on the evening performance of July 27 had a great voice. He should be given more singing opportunities in future productions.

 Wonderful. The audio was not the best though. It was hard to hear some of the actors.

 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!!!

 Great Experience! Everyone very Friendly. Show was amazing!

 We loved it. I brought two of my friends to see this play . I know some of the actors in this play. Everyone did a super job. I had never seen the movie so it was all new to me and my friends. We plan on coming to more plays in the future. Nancy Connor

 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.
