Oakland Theatre Arts Guild Reviews

       The show was amazing!! This is a very talented group of young actors!

       Great show!. Always enjoy going to the starlight theater for a show and the kids did a great job!

   This performance was excellent, the kids were amazing!!!

  This was my first time visiting the theater, I will be back for future events.

     So much fun and energy. Left with a smile on my face and music stuck in my head.

  Show on 5/22/2022 started 20 minutes late-

   We loved it!! The kids always do such a great job! I did feel like some of the kiddos in extra spots could have filled roles like Belle, Beast, the coach etc.. G

     Nicely done. First time visiting your theatre. The players did a fantastic job. 5 stars!!!

   Well done! The cast was great!!

   It was great.

   Nice Christmas play

   The p lay was so cute and the actors did a great job!

     Loved the costumes! Very good singing voices!

   This production was outstanding! All of the performers were well prepared and sparkled on stage! The scenery, the music, all very wonderful. Thank you for providing this opportunity for our children.

   Great show!

   The play was adorable! well done!

     Absolutely loved this performance, the entire cast was amazing! All the time and effort that went into this production was obvious and the level of commitment these young actors gave was nothing short of amazing.

   Funny and heartwarming. The cast were wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

     Trying to figure out the point.

   The venue and staff/volunteers were very friendly and the space (didn't use the bathroom so can't speak to that) was very accessible. The casting was problematic (women of a certain age playing women in their 20s and 30s talking about reproductive health was a bit of a stretch). The show could have also been significantly shorter considering the plot. I did love seeing more queer women characters on stage and a bit of racial diversity in casting.

   Watching these young people loving what they are doing amazing!!! Thank you Starlight!!!

   The kids were amazing Great acting and good song/dance selections

 Great! We love coming to the Theater!

   Excellent!

   It was GREAT!

   Kids did Amazing!

   This was far better than expected, in a good way. The cast for Newsies was great. I liked the digital background for a show like this. It was my first time at the theatre. Overall, it was great…but it could use some TLC. Customer service was great.

   This musical was wonderful! The kids put a lot of heart and effort into a wonderful show!

   This theatre amazes me how they welcome every young person that wants to take part in their plays. The small seating area means every seat is a goid one. The stage set-ups are simple and excellent! I have been to several plays there and The Newsies had a paticularily sharp stage set-up!!!! Keep up the good work!!! Thank you!!!!!

   Excellent!

     Great performance!

   Loved it! A great job was done by all, the show was absolutely fantastic, the theatre itself was very cool and the concessions were great! It was our first time there and we will be back!

   Absolutely fabulous show and performances by all!! Well done. Took my special needs son and he was so excited and loved the show. The young kids were amazing in their performances and the grown ups too! Look forward to attending more shows in the future.

   What a great show!!!! Very talented group of people. Very pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend you go and enjoy a play there sometime.

   Well done!

   The production was great. They do a great job with every show. I only wish they would start on time. 25 minutes late starting last night. That doesn't teach the children involved accountability. And disrespectful to those on time, seated and ready for the great show to start. I'm not sure why it happens that way, but I hope they look into that. Keep up the great job either your productions

   My children had a blast. It was a nice, relaxed event where everyone in our family could enjoy it. We appreciate that.

   Show was excellent!

   The kids really enjoyed it wonderful time and performance

   wonderful job by everyone!!

   Loved it..awesome

  The Musical was awesome!!!

   The event was great!

   Kids did Amazing!

   Fun

   5 stars!!!!

   A wonderful opportunity for young actors! Well-rehearsed and they obviously are having fun. Two comments: While pre-made "screen-scenes" are much less labor-intensive, children who wish a back-stage experience are missing a key piece of theatre. Also, while a 'mega' cast gives lots of kids an opportunity to be on stage, it makes it hard for the audience to see all the kids who are on stage at the same time. Both are just choices you make, of course.

   Awesome first time there and we will be back

   Great performance!

 It was a great production. The kids were all amazing. Cute theater. Can’t wait to come back.

   It was a wonderful!. My 9 year old grandson had a fun watching kids his age I hope he goes into theater 🎭

 I loved the play with my granddaughters! It was such a cute performance and the scenery on stage was awesome.♥️

   It was a delightful experience even as other members of the audience were heckling a bit. You could tell the children worked hard to deliver lines and motions that were genuine for their characters. The lead actress really did a fantastic job and had a charisma that really sold her as Peter Pan. The change to Tiger Lily and her Brave Girls from being natives to more of a warrior tribe was a nice touch in this politically correct environment. I would come to another show.

   Great show!! The actors did a great wonderful job!!
