    The acting, directing and production quality of every play they do is impressive! The shows are all top notch and it is a much better experience than waiting in a long line to see a typical movie on a Saturday night. Our daughter was invited to be a member of this theatre company and it has been the best experience ever! She's been part of other theatres and this is by far the best. Jack and Gloria are very experienced professionals and they make the rules perfectly clear to all the parents and actors. The thing I like is they don't play favorites. Even actors who have been in multiple shows have to follow all the same rules as everyone else.

    My daughter started performing with Young Stars Theatre when she was just 5 years old. She has just finished her 6th show after 4 years. Jack and Gloria Bennett are awesome people. They always have something nice to say and are always positive. They are wonderful teachers and coaches. The great thing is there is no charge for kids to be in the productions. We are excited that they have found a new home at Fremont Theatre. A lot of child actors that have worked with Jack and Gloria have become very successful. One was even nominated for an Academy Award.

    My daughter has been involved with young stars theatre for the past 2 years and it has been nothing but an amazing experience for her! All of the kids are great and so supportive of each other and Jack and Gloria really know how to put on a good show! I appreciate their honesty and punctuality and I feel confident that my daughter is in a safe environment. I love the friendships that my daughter has made there and all that she has learned. We love it so much that we actually commute from out of the area because we have not found anything else like the young stars theater in our area, let alone one that is a "no pay to play" youth theater program!

    Young Stars Theatre has been, and continues to be, an amazing and inspiring place for my son. It is a non-profit children's company, and charges NOTHING for actors to participate (yes, you read that right). Kids are really taught the ropes, in a nurturing, safe, and accepting environment. Jack and Gloria (the founders and directors) run a tight (and loving) ship - and I have never seen my kid learn so much, work so hard, and ALWAYS look forward to rehearsals. They are housed in the beautiful Fremont Centre Theatre, and every production is like watching a professional troupe. Words cannot express what a wonderful and unique company YST is.

    This is one of the best youth theater programs in Los Angeles. Jack and Gloria are wonderful and offer a unique experience to everyone involved in their shows. They expect a lot from the kids, and they get it back twofold! You can see the hard work that goes into each show. The kids are always incredible and charming, and the shows are something they can always be proud of. My daughters have been part of this program for two years and they have learned so much from Gloria and Jack. They absolutely love being part of the YST program.

    This is such a wonderful, and amazing space. The atmosphere that the two directors have created in this theater for their organization is unbelievably heartwarming. I have been working with this non-profit for more than a couple years now, and my own growth (both professionally, and in my personal life) has been astonishing. The directors are so professional, and touched with the most enchanting sense of humor. Jack & Gloria make for admirable directors, and even more admirable people. Certainly an organization I plan to work with for many more years to come.

    Our daughter is in her second show with Young Stars Theater and she loves being part of each production. She has learned a lot about theater and looks forward to her next performance! Thanks Gloria and Jack for all the hard work you put into producing a fun theater experience for kids.

    The Fremont Center theater, and specifically the Young Stars Theatre membership company has been an incredibly positive experience for my two young children. They have been given the opportunity to grow, express their creativity, and learn skills that will benefit them far into the future. I applaud Gloria and Jack Bennet for the performances they are able to coax out of these children. It is such a gift to be able to work with kids in a professional manner and they are amazing. They are also so generous as to welcome children of varying economic means. No one is excluded. This is unique and wonderful. If you have the opportunity to see a show or participate, don't miss it.

    Mediocre food, everything online. Touch free, taste free, loaded with attitude and pricy for no apparent reason. Open from 11-3, two staff at the counter, didn't take my order. Had to sit in the hot sun and order online through my cell. They said in a couple of weeks they will take in person orders ... Food was alright but nothing special. Portion sizes were small. My salad was small and bland. Tax at south Pasadena is 10.25% and had to leave a tip too...LOL. first time and last time for sure.

    A beautiful live theatre. Great place to see a play or a musical with dinner options near by.
