Inspiration Stage

"Went here to see my friend perform a belly dance. The show was great but the stage was obviously too small for what they wanted to do. They really need to upgrade the seating in the theater. All the seats are very small and there is almost no space between them. If you are tall or on the bigger side it's going to be very uncomfortable. Me, my husband and my friend were basically shoulder to shoulder the entire time. So if you go be prepared that you could be almost touching a stranger all night. Just something to keep in mind if attending. The building itself is very cute and close to lots of dining options so that's nice."

"We’ve been unable to reach them after calling multiple times over many days to resolve an issue. My son did not enjoy the class and won’t be returning. I’m disappointed that no one will answer when we call."

"If you have children.. 5-18 pay attention. This is worth every second of both yours and their time, regardless of whether its acting in a show or simply watching one. Background: My daughter had the pleasure of walking in the doors at Inspiration Stage to see a show in 2021. Walking in off of the street, we didn't know what to expect, we just knew the name of the show "Tuck, Everlasting". If you would have asked me as we left, we felt like they didn't charge enough for admission. The trained talent dancing, singing, working in perfect synergy seemed as if they were a professional troupe.. but they were all children (of varying ages). We were enthralled. Skip ahead 2 years and her doing 9 consecutive shows as an actor, we wouldn't trade our time at Inspiration Stage for anything. It has been quite literally life changing. Beyond the entertainment value, there is something magical and forming that happens during the training process: group growth. They are effectively working as a unit, not without the expected frustrations of childhood/teenage drama, but even in it's presence they work together to produce a top-shelf quality show. The children learn so much - how to work together, how to wait for their time, how to build a product where they can't complete it on their own - skills that aren't typically learned until they join the workforce much later in life. Here they have a safe place to learn these valuable life lessons. iStage has been formative in so many ways, but I would be remiss to not praise Mandy and Jeff, the proprietors of the stage. Building sets from the ground up, hand stitching costumes, creating so much more than the sum of the parts... incredible. Mandy and Jeff - Thank you both for bringing this into our lives. We love you."

"Inspiration stage has a way of putting on a play, and making sure they they canonize themselves as the only "official" version of it. The director is so good at casting, and the cast is so good at acting and singing, that the stories leap into you and stick with you for months, if not years. Any other adaptation, even the broadway ones, just doesn't seem right after watching an Inspiration stage play. I feel privileged to have seen their versions of Heathers and Sweeney Todd in particular."
