Great place to get your kids involved in extra curricular activities. They offer a variety of classes such as art, ballet, photography and much more at a low cost. They also have Saturday classes! There are different sessions for spring, summer, fall and winter. All the staff I have met have been professional and helpful. Keep up the good work!

Have taken my 6yr.old in Saturdays for ballet class. Great deal for various art and dance classes. Ballet instructor is a wonderful person who has a great skill in teaching little ones such a beautiful craft. All the staff weve encountered have been friendly. We definitely plan on attending the summer courses.

Wonderful venue to see a show. Additional parking is in the far back, as the main lot across the street quickly fills. I recommend not sitting in the first aisle of the balcony, the leg room is cramped and view is obstructed due to the barrier. If you have to sit in the balcony, the best seats are halfway back, you get a great view from there.

Attended the Regina Bell concert here , Amazing !!! Arrived about an hour early, there were complimentary finger foods ( cheese, grapes, strawberries, sandwiches ). The wine bar accepted donations. I wish I had a photo of the food table, because everything was nicely decorate, black linen, silver platters with green edible garnishes. Concert started on time and we sat in 6 row in the center ( perfect seats).

Clean. Nice contolled temperature inside. Bathrooms were clean.Parking is a little scary at night. Cops typically stand in front of the building during an event and not in the darker surrounding parking area towards the back. I thought that was odd.

The Carver brings to San Antonio all of the arts - movies, dance, plays, musicals, visual art through their art gallery - which serves to enlighten and delight anyone that crosses its threshold. Truly a San Antonio jewel.

This used to be the pride of the Eastside...and it is still a gem although no longer privately owned. Since the City of San Antonio has began managing, the shows and programs offered have become more wide spread and affordable. Catch unique shows and opportunities to experience great performances in an intimate setting. Comparable to the Tobin Edge Series for less!

Venue is not safe. Recently went to a Dance performance hosted by San Antonio Parks and Recreation. There were hundreds of people crowded in at the doors and the unregulated culture is that everyone takes off at a sprint and fights for seating. If old people or children are in the way it is accepted by the community to run them over. I’m deeply disappointed at the utter lack of professionalism. They need security before someone gets seriously hurt. I’m not sure how it is legal to have that many people out of control without appropriate crowd control.

Fantastic theater with top-notch and cultural performances. Staff is consistently helpful and welcoming. My wife and I have never been disappointed and she loves the season tickets I now give her every anniversary. We have been able to meet famous performers (Regina Belle, Peabo Bryson, Gregory Porter, etc.) up close and personal and take pics with them after shows. Such access! Also, they provide free heavy hors doeuvres before some shows. One of the best tickets in town!
