Orange County Children's Theatre

"Do not go with this company. They are liars and thrives and completely lack communication skills. I understand everyone suffered during the shut down but I expected better from them. First they kept saying the show will go on and not to worry, complete lie. The show is not going on. They kept saying emails will be sent out early August. Here we are mid August with no contact. Several emails was sent to them to find out what going on with no response. I ask for a refund earlier in the year and they said they would like me to consider giving the money as donations. I said no and that I prefer a refund. Their response was I'm sorry we're not providing refunds. If they understand what the term donations means, it means it's something voluntary not forced. On top of that I bought 10 tickets to the show because we had to otherwise they charge a hefty amount and a penalty. Also no refund is given. I ask if the tickets will still be used for the show. They said no! You'll have to buy more tickets. Like stealing $500+ wasn't enough for them. Then to find out there's no show and they have a new show going on with a new cast. Don't waste your time or money because if another shut down occurs, you'll never see your money again. Their behavior is inexcusable. They are horrible people and thrives. Will never recommend them to anyone!"

"I recently saw Hairspray and I want to offer kudos to the choreographer. I was sure with such a huge cast, dancing would be limited to the central characters and a small ensemble. Not so! All cast members were fully utilized and the dancing was GOOD. Every cast member could be proud of that production. And I can't say enough about the Telegrammers. They were adorable and sang and danced really well. I'm sure a lot of rehearsals and hard work went into this production and it showed. I've been involved in theatre for 30+ years, so when I say a show is good, you can count on it."
