Cherie and the OC Crazies has made a huge impact on my life. She helped me realize a dream Ive had for 20 years, performing standup comedy. She taught me and encouraged me. Shes given me great opportunities to perform. Her classes are so much fun. I live in the corporate world and had never performed anything before. Cherie taught me how to project my voice, not to step on my laughs, how to have a stage presence, and how to write an actual joke. Her notes and feedback are honest and priceless. Now I have a new passion that my friends and family get a kick out of and support me greatly. Ive made new comedy friends and a bunch of new doors have opened up in my life. I love Cherie and this theater. My 9 year old son is now taking standup classes here and he loves it, too.

I took an improv class here after just missing their standup comedy class. And I learned a tremendous amount - both about myself and what I wanted to get out of the class, stage presence, being comfortable by not being comfortable, warmup techniques, sharing the stage...the list goes on. I see these other reviews here, but I can attest to this experience being all about the attitude you bring into the theater. Yea sometimes we misunderstood each other when attempting something, but by working through it - everyone had a better understanding for the piece we were attempting to perform. Because in the end, shes walked the walk and really knows this stuff to the finest of details.

A really bad place to learn improv.The owner Cherie is an embittered, rude and unprofessional person. The classes are completely unstructured, to the point she cant even remember what was done during the previous class. No preparation is provided for the graduation show. The classes are very expensive and a complete waste of money.

This place is an absolute joke. Ive attended two classes here and I was appalled by the subpar teaching and the absolute lack of professionalism by the owner. Instead of teaching she would ramble off like an insane women making hardly any sense and if you would try to kindly suggest we get back to the learning she would get all angry. The entire class leads up to a graduation show that ended up being a complete nightmare because the entire class was entirely unprepared by the lack of proper teaching and communication by the owner. Ive taken improv classes at the Groundlings, South Coast Repertory, Second City and this was by the far the absolute worst experience. I would never come back here again.
