Stage Time Los Angeles

My daughter took this class a couple of years ago. I recommend it to friends, so I figured I should leave a review! Although my daughter doesn’t really hold any acting ambitions, she really enjoyed this class and especially loved how Kerry and Saba made every activity super fun and I appreciated how it really helped her confidence. The final show was so cute and well done, and I think it helped to focus them on a goal.

A week at Stage Time Summer Camp was an absolute gift for my seven year old son (and me)! Kerry, Saba, & Brian are warm, compassionate, inclusive, vibrant, and fun teachers who create a safe place for learning through play for kids of all ages, experience levels, and abilities. At the end of week performance I was shocked to see my son (who isn’t a strong reader) recite multiple memorized lines without hesitation. The high level of support he received to make this a possibility makes this program a standout in my eyes.

This was an outstanding program. My 6 year old little dudes has had lots of school «performances» and always hid in the back, didn’t want to be seen or heard. The Stage Time Team helped him come out of his shell, find his inner pirate and by the end of the week he was in costume, onstage, with his friends, shouting argh and saying the lines he had been practicing all week. It was an absolutely joyous performance watching all the kids work together.
He also loved all the improv type games they played and we’ve started playing some of them together at home too. We we’re so happy with the experience and look forward to the Winter camp and next summer for our youngest.

This class WILDLY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS… and then some!!! I put my 2 boys… ages 4.5 & 6.5 in the class for confidence building and for them to have some fun with a new experience. When it came time for the actual play at the end of the session, I invited my parents to come (but with an easy out of «it’s ok if you can’t make it» because I really couldn’t imagine that it could be any good). Those kids blew me away… each and every one of them nailed their lines and looked like they were having such fun throughout the play. My (painfully shy) 4.5 year old was positioned in the front of the stage, sitting down and OPENED the show with his lines. He remembered his lines!!! I couldn’t believe it! This was yet another reminder that my kids are capable of so much more than I give them credit. My boys both loved Stage Time LA and I look forward to signing them up for more so they can blow my socks off yet again!

This is just the type of class we were looking for. Our son is not an actor but he LOVES these classes. The kids play acting games and practice scenes with each other in addition to learning about stage direction. They get personal attention and feedback from insightful and classically trained teachers. We have done three classes and will be back for more!

My 9 year old daughter has no great desire to go into acting but I thought the Stage Time classes might help her develop self-​confidence and poise — life skills any girl needs to make her way in the world. So far, these classes have fit the bill! My daughter has so much fun in class and, after 6 weeks, I can see a real difference in her! My daughter is much more self-​assured in her everyday life so KUDOS all around to Kerry and Saba! Stage Time is a GREAT program and I, as a single mom, especially appreciate it.

Ditto with comments below. My 10yr old daughter has never done anything like this and Saba and Kerry were fantastic, supportive, and the play at the end of the week was unbelievably awesome! Many of the kids had never performed and you would not have know it!
My daughter said «Everyone – even the other kids – are so nice and so happy!» We never once had to struggle to get her to camp. I originally wanted her to participate so she’d feel comfortable speaking in front of people, I had no idea I’d end up with a ‘drama’ monger!
Kudos to Saba and Kerry — we LOVE you and can’t wait till the fall sessions start!

My 10 y.o. daughter just finished a week of Stage Time and she truly enjoyed it. The classes were the perfect size and each child seemed to have a «large» part in the skit. We have done another type of acting camp and it did not compare to this one. I would highly recommend!

We won a week of Stage Time camp at a school auction for my 6 year old son. He had never done any theater and is a handful to contain at times. He LOVED the week. Not only did he have a blast, but Kerry and Saba treated him with such love and respect it made me want to cry. They let him create a role in the play that TOTALLY fit his personality and allowed him to be creative and wacky in his own way. He had a blast and it was priceless!!! Thank you Kerry and Saba for a great week.

My daughter has been taking theater classes with Stage Time for a couple of years now, and she absolutely loves it. I originally signed her up so that she could feel more comfortable with speaking in public, and it worked! But she has also fallen in love with theater and acting, thanks mainly to the fantastic Stage Time teachers. They are nurturing, down to earth, and totally professional. I highly recommend their weekend classes and summer camp to any kid with an interest in theater.

My 8 year old son had a great time at their summer camp. He loves performing and he always does well with the well structured and engaging classes that Kerry and Saba put together.

my 9 year old daughter attended stagetime camp last year and kept asking this summer if she can go again. when i finally told her i signed her up, she couldnt wait to go! thank you kerry and saba for always making the camp fun and enjoyable. you said she has grown a lot in confidence compared to last year. it’s because you both bring out the best in her! i wouild recommend this camp to anyone!

Our 9 year-​old son has been taking the weekend workshops for some time now and is having a blast. Kerry and Saba make the class interesting and fun, while building confidence and self esteem. The students are also part of the creative process in that they are able to write their own stories, which they then get to perform. I would highly recommend STLA for any child who is looking to have fun and build their confidence as an actor, while also having the freedom to explore their creative side.

I’m taking private classes with Kerry and feel so lucky to have found her. Her coaching is rooted in breath work, alignment and the creative connection between personal experience and ‘as if’ (but she’s not dogmatic about any particular approach). Since working with her, I’ve had a breakthrough with a monologue I was ready to give up on, and her recommendations for new monologues have been spot-​on for me. She’s an A.C.T. grad and really knows her stuff. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

My 13-​year old daughter has been taking classes with Stage Time LA for about 8 months and she loves it! Kerry and Saba are talented, knowledgeable, and really know how to bring out the best in teens. We live in San Fernando Valley and still drive over the hill because it’s really worth the time. I absolutely recommend it!
