Oakland Theatre Arts Guild Reviews

   It gets hot.

   The production was amazing.

   We love Starlight Theater!

   All of the people working there were extremely friendly and the cast was amazing

   Everyone was so kind

   First time attending. Granddaughter in the production.

 Website said I had to print tickets. I scrambled to print them because my phone was not connected to a printer. Got to theatre & just had to give my last name. Showing receipt on phone should be an option also.

 Outstanding! Bravo to the cast and crew.

     It was excellent! Loved it!

 Really great experience overall! But two things. Least importantly, your pretzels could be better (they're kind of stale) :). Most importantly, I think you should invest in a limiter or compressor for your sound person. This could help increase the volume of those who speak quietly and limit the volume of those that are loud. It gets really loud at times, to the point of discomfort. Thanks!

 Kids did a great performance. My husband nd I really enjoyed it!

   Awesome performance by players and staff. Well organized. You can tell they put a lot of work into the performance.

       Loved it!

   Well done! It’s amazing how quickly this show happened - well organized! Excellent singing, stage presence! Love what this theatre does for children

   The kids chosen for their parts were perfect. The boy chosen to play James (he was also an OppaLupa) on the evening performance of July 27 had a great voice. He should be given more singing opportunities in future productions.

   Wonderful. The audio was not the best though. It was hard to hear some of the actors.

   It was great! The kids did a wonderful performance. Staff were pleasant. The theater is small enough that you can see the stage well no matter what seat you are in.

     Great Experience! Everyone very Friendly. Show was amazing!

 We loved it. I brought two of my friends to see this play . I know some of the actors in this play. Everyone did a super job. I had never seen the movie so it was all new to me and my friends. We plan on coming to more plays in the future. Nancy Connor

   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

   It was very enjoyable. Tevye was excellent. I hated sitting in the front row though. Never again.

   What an amazing show!

   We absolutely enjoyed this production. The play and the people were fabulous! My only negative comments is the seats. Very uncomfortable to sit in these seats for a long period of time.

   Amazing cast!

   My first time to Starlight Theatre. I love your front of house experience. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Your presentation of Fiddler was so enjoyable. I loved so many of the performances. Tevye and his family were great! I believed every moment of their performances. Mack, you were the perfect Tevya! Another highpoint for me was Yenta. What a wonderful character. You were a standout in every scene that were in. Bravo to one and all.

   Fun family experience!

   Wonderful production, talented cast! Loved it!

   It was an excellent production. The voices were all amazing. The entire cast did an excellent job.

   Good Show, Friendly volunteers and staff

   It was very amazing :)

   There was an issue with our tickets but we were flexible and someone immediately took care of it. Very pleased. Wish I knew her name but I believe her daughter played Lily. On the performance - great job. The vocals are wonderful! Outstanding performances by Anya and Vlad - two best actors in the show!

   The show was very well done, loved the video background.

   Great but pricey for a child’s seat and all kids performance. Anastasia was a fantastic singer.

   It was the best one this year. I really enjoyed it.

   Outstanding performance!

   Amazing all these young performers!!!

   It was a wonderful performance and everyone did a wonderful job!

  Everyone did great! We came to see our 2 nieces and 1 nephew. A very enjoyable evening.

   Loved my Daughter and Granddaughter together.

   I’ve seen many many shows there but this was one of my absolute favorites. All of the kids were amazing and played with so much heart and enthusiasm. Especially the daughter Beth narrating the entire play. She had me and many others teary at the end. She was wonderful and these kids work so hard and enjoy it so much. Was sad when it was over! Could have watched much longer.

   Great show

   Cute but pricey for a full kids performance.

   Great show

   Loved it! Husband and I took two granddaughters. So cute! Video portion helped to imagine settings. The voices of Ariel and Sabastian and the sea witch were awesome!

  Pleasantly surprised by the caliber of talent with the kids playing in the show. They all did a fantastic job! Worth every Penny! Great night out with the family. Cool venue. Seats aren’t super comfortable for larger size people, but tolerable.

   It was amazing as were the kids! Too notch acting and singing! We loved it!

   Adorable show!

   I thought for such a young cast that they were very tight , no missed steps or lines, especially Jacob Truhn as Big Daddy Oliver Warbucks

   We were sold tickets for the Friday show. But there was no Friday show. Cannot reach anyone to reschedule or get a refund. Very disappointing

     Loved this and especially the Starfish!❤️

   The costumes and set were amazing! I can't belive what an incredible production they are able to put together in such a short time. Well done, Starlight!

     Intermission was too long.. theater was extremely warm.

   Fantastic show!

   Very well done for this full kid’s performance.

 The cast of performers all did such a great job. The director and crew is appreciated for teaching all these kids about stage theater. Both shows I attended were wonderful.

   Loved it! Great show, kids did an outstanding performance! The costumes and make up were amazing!!

   Very well done, really enjoyed it and the makeup was outstanding.

   I was blown away by how kind everyone was and the show was amazing!

   It was a wonderful performance!!! I loved it.

   Fun show

     The self esteem these young actors performing will always go with them. Thank you.

   Great show, great cast! Such a fun, family event!

   Such a good show! Amazing cast!

   Great show and nice theater. Thank you!

   Very cute! The theatre needs to update the chairs.

   Very good

   Enjoyed very much!

   Why this theatre isn't packed to capacity for this event I can only attribute to people not knowing what a gem of a resource the Starlight Theatre is to the community. The kids acting was excellent, the music great, and me and all my family had a great time (and at a bargain price). We need to get the word out on this great community resource!

   It was a fun time. We thought it was even better than last years play which was also good. We had family members in the the play and enjoyed watch all of the theatre members perform. A great job by everyone involved.

   What a fun and enjoyable play! Good job to all the cast and crew!

     Very good performance! But, I wished the actors were using a microphone.

   Great show

     The play was adorable! The cast and crew did an amazing job!

     Great show!

     All of the shows are excellent at Starlite

     Loved the costumes! Very good singing voices!

   This production was outstanding! All of the performers were well prepared and sparkled on stage! The scenery, the music, all very wonderful. Thank you for providing this opportunity for our children.

   Great performance. Way to go, cast and crew!

   Funny and heartwarming. The cast were wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

     Trying to figure out the point.

   The venue and staff/volunteers were very friendly and the space (didn't use the bathroom so can't speak to that) was very accessible. The casting was problematic (women of a certain age playing women in their 20s and 30s talking about reproductive health was a bit of a stretch). The show could have also been significantly shorter considering the plot. I did love seeing more queer women characters on stage and a bit of racial diversity in casting.

   Great Show

   I ended up being sick and couldn’t attend.

   Excellent!

   Excellent!

   This musical was wonderful! The kids put a lot of heart and effort into a wonderful show!

   This theatre amazes me how they welcome every young person that wants to take part in their plays. The small seating area means every seat is a goid one. The stage set-ups are simple and excellent! I have been to several plays there and The Newsies had a paticularily sharp stage set-up!!!! Keep up the good work!!! Thank you!!!!!
