Acting Classes Los Angeles: The Playground - Los Angeles, California

Little Director

My daughter has attended the playground for almost 2 yrs now. Classes are a little pricey but well worth it if you are trying to get your foot in the door and looking to book an agent. Rebecca handles recruitment and financing she is a tough cookie but also helpful and willing to work with parents on payment plans. Overall I am satisfied with the playground services my daughter has learned so much and gained so much confidence after all what is the point of putting them in acting classes; to invest in their future right. It is a huge commitment with outstanding outcomes.

Gary Spatz’s The Playground has been an incredible place for my son’s growth and development as an actor. Timothy joined the program with a passion for comedy and acting, and the transformation we’ve seen in him is remarkable. The professional training he receives here is top-notch, providing him with the skills and confidence to pursue his dreams.

The instructors are not only knowledgeable but also nurturing, creating a supportive environment where young actors can thrive. Timothy’s comedic timing and performance skills have improved significantly, and he’s had opportunities to perform and apply what he’s learned in real-world settings.

A special mention goes to Gayla Goehl, who has provided Timothy with exceptional 1:1 lessons and support. Her personalized attention and encouragement have made a profound impact on his journey, enhancing his abilities and boosting his confidence.

We are grateful for the dedication and expertise of Gary Spatz and his team. Their commitment to helping young actors succeed is evident in everything they do. If you’re looking for a place that genuinely cares about your child’s artistic growth and career development, I highly recommend Gary Spatz’s The Playground.

I started here a few years ago and can say this school is probably the best introduction to acting I have ever had.

It takes actors and actresses from all backgrounds, walks of life, and levels of experience.

When I came into class, I started working with Gayla who is one of the most keen, passionate, and intentional teachers in Los Angeles and probably all of the West Coast (and I have taken many classes).

There had been many times where I doubted my acting talents and skills, and spoke through those concerns with Gayla. Today, I am writing this having just closed the world premiere of a play a couple months ago, and auditioning for upcoming films.

The playground is home to wonderful and hardworking staff and teachers, and I would be happy to come back whenever asked or to recommend the studio to anyone!

Put my son through classes here when he was younger.
Gary runs a great ship, the education that kids get here make a huge difference in not only acting ambition but also prepare them much better for life itself.
They get real life education from real people that have been there, done that.
It is not a cheap training, but money is made to be spent on important things, and an investment in your children is never a mistake!
It is something that the kids get immense emotional growth as well as tremendous group interaction experience that gives them a big advantage as they grow up and work through the grades in school.
