Drama School San Jose Near Me

Peter Burns: I've been with BAAS for several years. It's a very safe and nurturing space that teaches the rigor of the Meisner Technique along with the compassion. Whether for child, hobbiest or pro/semi-pro actor, this studio provides what is requires. I'd say it gives back 3-fold what the student brings to the work.

Catarina Kim: Love love love First Take's process-driven method, the underlaying belief of 'I am enough,' and the supportive community of actors I now have the privilege to call my friends. First Take method helps me focus on exploring and finding myself in the "character" while honouring the intention of the writer rather than what the character is "supposed to be." I never thought I'd love studying acting when I first started but now I can't stop because Nancy's method is so in line with what I try to do every day, which is getting to know my essence and letting myself free - every class I get to meet and get to know different parts of myself that I couldn't have otherwise before and nurture it or heal it depending. As for the community, wow I am so grateful for such a supportive, encouraging, inspiring, hilarious and beautiful group of humans in my class. So, honestly every class is like therapy for me. Thank you Nancy for creating this school and offering your warm & kind hand every week in my journey in acting and individuation!

Lynda Martinez: Enjoyed Lyric Theatre's Matinee production of Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Sorcerer" today @ SJCC...Lovely theater, no bad seats, intimate, good sound system. Lots of fun! Runs thru first week in March! Go see it!

Shruti Garg: My 7 year old daughter absolutely loved attending San Jose Children's Musical Theater! They put on a fantastic show and really create a welcoming environment for kids.

Billy Howard: is almost too funny. The climactic schtick never seems to come and travesty builds on more travesty as the crowd near-literally rolls in the aisles with panting laughter.And to effect the actor's grace, they had to know that all the set piece gimmicks, peligroso as they were, would not fail, would not become stuck, would work perfectly every time. Awesome job, set and props crew. Finally, Michael Storm's fight choreography must be noted for it's seeming imperilment, including rag doll floppings-around of numerous dead bodies, yet all were safe and far from the harm they portrayed.Ken Keliher, a Hall of Famer in San Jose theater from large scale classics and tragedies to the delightful 100 seat house comedies he has helmed as Master Director, simply does it again with this piece of perfection.All the cast: lovely job. The voices, the faces, the trips and hiccups, the timing, the dialects, the pauses: expert, delightful, tops.The biggest delight was to see the astonishing success that Cathleen and Randy have helmed and weathered for these 2 score years in an often unforgiving artistic climate in the many years when San Jose, CA, was a seeming sister city of Podunk.Their tenacity, vision and success is unique in the South Bay as countless theater companies of varying sizes have come and gone, brief as the lightning in the collied night.Thank you, Randy and Cathy, You, as well as the theater, are National Treasures. I am so honored to have been a part of SJS's first decade. Excited to see the next major phase with yet another new theater space

dave o: Back at this place for more. Jeff truly knows his craft! 25+ years of experience and it shows. The level of detailed nuance he knows and teaches is insane!

Taed Wynnell: A nice theatre for large events and theatre.
