Badin hs pianist class performances. Great teacher preparation and student performances. Students who performed deserve an A grade. Those who were "sick" and did not perform deserve a D-. gradem

Excellent community theater with friendly staff. Even though our seats were in the last row, we still had a great view of the show. While waiting for my daughter's musical to begin, I was able to look around at the wide array of art being displayed. Most of the art seemed to be from the students that utilize the many studios toward the back of the building.
