Hi - as you can see we haven't been very active here for a while - to be honest we forgot we had this blog going and started a new one :-(
So, come check out the New Playground Blog and see what we've been talking about!
Oh, and be sure to check out the Gary Spatz Blog which he's calling "Letters to a young actor". It's got advice about getting started in the acting world that's specially created just for the under 20 crowd!
If you're looking for even more information about Gary and The Playground you can see all the latest news on Gary Spatz's "The Playground" Facebook Page we've got pictures of some of the students, links to videos, tongue twisters and more. So check it out and tell us that you "Like" us when you're there.

TERMINATOR SALVATION MOVIE PREMIER WITH JADAGRACE!!!
Jadagrace plays the role of "Star" in the new hit movie, "TERMINATOR SALVATION"



"Dear Gary,
Jadagrace was given 4 tickets to attend the premiere of her feature film debut, Terminator Salvation. She wanted to know if you would be interested in going with us. We both feel if it were not for you and The Playground, she definitely would not have had the confidence or the skills to do what she did on that audition.We love you Gary,Grace Gordy"

Featured Testimonial from ASHLEY ARGOTA!
Plays the role of "Lulu" on the hit Nickelodeon series, "True Jackson, VP"


"I started acting when I was 5 years old. I can honestly say that I never really enjoyed acting classes until I started taking classes at The Playground. I never thought I could learn so much in one place! Gary, Gayla, Lee, and the rest of the teachers at The Playground are amazing. They made our classes so much fun, but I still learned so much! I took classes for about a year and a half, and in that time I gained so much confidence. I know exactly what to do when I get my scripts for the show every week. I still do the tongue twisters that I was taught (PURPLE WURPLE!) and do my script analysis for the scenes that I'm in. Honestly, I think that The Playground is a huge part of why I got my role on True Jackson, VP. Without their help, I don't think I'd be here right now! The lessons that I was taught during my time at The Playground will be with me for the rest of my life. And I'm never going to stop learning- I STILL get coaching at The Playground! I LOVE IT THERE!! :)
