The value provided for students through Shines classes and programs is truly incredible. I have attended several performances and was SHOCKED to see students performing at such a high level - from those on the stage to the tech crew to costume design, really every element was spectacular. I have known the owner for many years and have seen firsthand how much of her time and love she puts into this company, and the work that goes into providing only the best for her students - the best teachers, best resources, best opportunities, and best support. I love sticking around after shows to see the smiles on the students faces. Their love for Shine is obvious!

Shine has been an amazing blessing to our son. He has enjoyed participating in multiple shows. The producers, directors, and cast mates have always welcomed him with open arms and encouraged him to be his best and grow! We would highly recommend this studio for anyone looking at getting into Theater or continue their growth and love of fine arts.

I highly recommend this company

This establishment is just amazing. All their theater productions are great. Parents put a lot of effort in to building stage sets and staff members are great with the children. There is something for kids from 7 or 8 to 18.

This place is a great theater group and in the past I would recommend it to anyone, but the OWNER has VERBALLY ABUSE a friend of mine in the past And still hasn’t apologize for what she did (to my friend) so if your looking for a theater group this isn’t the place for you.(side note) The owner also has VERBALLY ABUSED a TEACHER.

We discovered Shine when my oldest was a Senior in high school. She was able to be in 3 shows before she aged out. I have 7 children and they have each, in turn, enjoyed being part of the Shine community. My youngest, currently 7, cannot wait to be a part of his first Shine show this summer. In all, our family has been a part of over 18 shows, in many different roles and tech.

We LOVE Shine! My son has performed in (and continues to do) plays there. He enjoys it so much that we also enrolled him in the academy. The community is warm and welcoming and the staff obviously cares about the students. I can’t rave about this theater group enough!

My daughter says Theater people are the best people, and a large part of that conviction comes from the amazing people she has met at Shine. The instructors encourage, stretch, and inspire the students, and the students and families are friendly and warm. Were so thankful we discovered Shine!

My 11 year old daughter has been attending the Shine academy classes for a year now. Her classes at Shine are hands down her favorite activities each week. She has grown tremendously from what she has learned there, and she constantly talks about all of the wonderful kids and teachers. It is truly her place filled with her people. As a parent, I am so pleased that my child has found such a nurturing and fun place to help grow her passions for singing and acting. Shes learning to dance now, too! I also love what a great deal it is. She can attend up to 5 classes a week for the academy tuition, and there just isnt a better value out there. My daughter has participated in 2 Shine productions now. I am so impressed with the quality of the shows and they way they are directed and organized. We will be a part of the Shine family for years to come!

Shine produces top-notch and super fun shows. The Academy program offers variety of invaluable classes throughout the week year-round. My daughter finds herself spending many hours at Shine each week, but she always looks forward to those hours. Besides theatrical skills, Shine also teaches kindness, respectfulness, responsibleness, and good work ethics. Thats what makes Shine a unique, fun, and safe place to be.

Our 15 year old son has recently joined Shine and participated in his first production. He said it was a wonderful experience and he has made some really great friends. He also joined the academy and is loving it. The classes are great and helping him to grow and learn so much, very quickly. We highly recommend Shine Performing Arts Studio.

My 15 year old is rather new to Shine and he has had the most wonderful experience there. He has been welcomed by everyone that he has had the opportunity to work with. They have truly included him as part of their group and it has done wonders for him. While they are nurturing and encouraging, they are also pushing him in his talents to grow and providing him with excellent direction! We are so grateful for this group!

Review №26

Both of my boys love and adore Shine. It has been such a nurturing experience for them as they explore theater. Shine not only builds into them the basics of acting, dance, and music, but it focuses on building their character and faith. It has given one a chance to develop empathy and serve those around him and another confidence to speak and discipline to practice and develop his skill. Shine cares about the hearts and souls of its student so that they can uncover the joy of cooperation, service, and discipline while exploring characters, story, song, and the arts.

My daughter loves Shine! And I love seeing her learn and grow as an actor. The executive director Claire genuinely cares about each and every child and wants to see them do their absolute best. Both new and more experienced actors will be cast in roles that really allow them to SHINE!

My 11 year old daughter loves Shine! We had not done theater before auditioning for her first performance last year, and now were there 3-4 times a week. Her confidence on stage has grown tremendously and one of our favorite aspects of Shine is the nurturing environment -- the kids are learning how to live up to the expectations and demands of a professional theater production while also learning how to be respectful and kind. We love the positive energy! I highly recommend Shine!

We love Shine!!!! I have three children involved with theater at Shine Performing Arts Studio, and of all of their extracurricular activities (and there are a lot), being part of these productions is their very favorite thing! They have learned so much about what it takes to put on a high-caliber show, and their experience there has enhanced their work ethic and their confidence. They have learned about theater in general, and have been loved and nurtured along the way by Claire and her staff. They have also made friends with great kids who lift them up. We are so glad to have found the Shine family - and it really is like family!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Claire and the Shine Performing Arts Studio! After just two weeks in one of Claires summer camps, we saw a new found confidence and joy in our daughter. She learned so much, and had an amazing time working with other talented actors and leadership. The personal attention and guidance she received set her up for success as she entered her high schools theatre program - and she has already been asking when she can register to be in another Shine production!

Shine is a wonderful place for your young thespians to learn and grown as performers. Claire McNeill, the Executive Director, truly has a heart for kids and a love for theatre she wants to pass onto them. Our daughter has done 5 productions with Claire and she has really helped to nurture her as a performer and helped build her confidence in auditioning, her ability as a performer and her love of theatre.
