Studio BE has not only been an outstanding training ground for my children, it has become a second home. The staff is top-notch. It is so much more than a place to take an acting class or two. It is a supportive community where the kids can stretch and grow as young people. The skills they learn will benefit them into adulthood.

My children became a part of the Studio BE community when it first opened its doors. Basically they started taking classes and performing in shows - but it isn't just that. Studio BE is a very unique place. The kids instantly belong to a new "family" of friends and mentors. The parents join in as part of the parent council, family nights, even a staff performance that some parents were featured in. For my daughter it was a stepping stone to a fabulous theater scholarship at college. For my son, it is his home away from home. I highly recommend "the BE" for high quality training, fun and entertainment, and so much more.

My daughter was a Studio BE student since day one. And even before they opened their doors she was so excited to be joining them. The staff, teachers and mentors helped her achieve goals for her passion, musical theatre. Singing, dancing, and acting the keys for a triple threat, an actor in a musical, are what they teach. And because of her hard work for 2 years at Studio BE, last year my daughter received a scholarship at Western Illinois University in their BFA Musical Theatre program. Studio Be is a community of friendship and passion for teenagers (and younger) to grow. If your child is looking for (or you need to give them direction to) their passion, this is where they should BE.
