Oakland Theatre Arts Guild Reviews

  Everyone is super nice there and I had a great time

     Amazing

   Awesome! Great performances all around red cast!

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

   Very nice venue. Easy ticket purchase and pick-up, reasonably priced snacks and a very friendly staff.

   Tom does an amazing job with these kids and love that it is available for these kids to go and build so much confidence ! Thank you!

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

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

      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.

   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.

 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.

   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.

   Cute but pricey for a full kids performance.

   Loved it! Husband and I took two granddaughters. So cute! Video portion helped to imagine settings. The voices of Ariel and Sabastian and the sea witch were awesome!

  Pleasantly surprised by the caliber of talent with the kids playing in the show. They all did a fantastic job! Worth every Penny! Great night out with the family. Cool venue. Seats aren’t super comfortable for larger size people, but tolerable.

   It was amazing as were the kids! Too notch acting and singing! We loved it!

   Adorable show!

   I thought for such a young cast that they were very tight , no missed steps or lines, especially Jacob Truhn as Big Daddy Oliver Warbucks

   We were sold tickets for the Friday show. But there was no Friday show. Cannot reach anyone to reschedule or get a refund. Very disappointing

     Loved this and especially the Starfish!❤️

   The kids did an awesome job. My 5 year old daughter loved it.

     Another great show. Bravo to the cast and crew.

   It was so hot in the theater. No air movement Al all. Show was excellent tho!

     Loved it!

   Great show!

  That was a joyful afternoon.

     I really enjoyed the CAT's performance, the production was very professional. My sister has extensive theater experience and she was impressed with the show as well. This was my second youth theater visit at Starlight and I will be back for sure.

 That was great fun! The cast was amazing! Will continue to support the Community Theatre effort.

   Front row was amazing!! The actors were right there looking in my eyes! I Completely enjoyed the presentation.

     The self esteem these young actors performing will always go with them. Thank you.

   Great show, great cast! Such a fun, family event!

   Such a good show! Amazing cast!

   Great show and nice theater. Thank you!

   Very cute! The theatre needs to update the chairs.

   The mics were NOT loud enough and I could barely hear what the actors were saying. The kids who played Weaseltown and Olaf are going to be stars! Amazing actors and were extremely comfortable. And NO, I don’t know either of them so I am not just saying that. Creative way they used to “transform Elsa.

   My daughter and I had so much fun watching all the talented children.

   Enjoyed very much!

   Why this theatre isn't packed to capacity for this event I can only attribute to people not knowing what a gem of a resource the Starlight Theatre is to the community. The kids acting was excellent, the music great, and me and all my family had a great time (and at a bargain price). We need to get the word out on this great community resource!

   It was a fun time. We thought it was even better than last years play which was also good. We had family members in the the play and enjoyed watch all of the theatre members perform. A great job by everyone involved.

   What a fun and enjoyable play! Good job to all the cast and crew!

     Very good performance! But, I wished the actors were using a microphone.

     The play was adorable! The cast and crew did an amazing job!

     Great show!

     All of the shows are excellent at Starlite

     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 performance. Way to go, cast and crew!

   Awesome show. The kids performed flawlessly.

 The play explored several women's social issues in a way that was really entertaining for all! Very funny!

   The play was well written and the people in the play did a great job!

   I ended up being sick and couldn’t attend.

   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.

   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!

   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

 The kids did such a great job!!! They should feel so proud. My 9 year old absolutely loved it and is now begging me to try theater.

     Loved!

   It was good! Very entertaining.
