"Here's some information you should know before you speak to these people. If you had just moved here and you're living out of your car or SUV do not tell them this. I did and because of that they canceled my interview and told me to contact them when I find a place and I was more financially secure. Then Allen Barton emailed me to go take classes somewhere else I wasn't going to be accepted no matter what did. I have never been discriminated upon like that for being homeless but now I know how cold and heartless people in Hollywood really are."

"Studied there for years and attended many productions, more recently shows directed by Allen Barton. It is one of the best acting schools and theaters on the West Coast."

"In my opinion, The Beverly Hills Playhouse is one of the finest acting schools in the world. It is a great place for actors to learn their craft. Not only is the teaching first rate, but also the culture and the philosophy of the school really does support the actor in his/her journey to make a career in the industry, while also growing as an artist."

"The Beverly Hills Playhouse is an excellent acting school. I’m foreign born, but I feel BHP is my second home. Teachers are direct when giving you feedback. However, they always give you their point of view from a constructive perspective. Furthermore, you’re encouraged by them to repeat your work if necessary. I truthfully appreciate the initial casting session, where teacher and classmates recommend plays/movies to read/view and bring to class. As many actors know, finding your casting in the professional world is critical. Here, you get it in a safe and respectful environment. Also, what I like the most from this school is the camaraderie from fellow actors. You are not competing with them. Instead, they all feel joy when you succeed because all of them try to lift you up. There’s a lot of teamwork and encouragement going around."
