Testimonials
“No one beats Cobalt for process, ease, and price. The work is guaranteed to be Broadway-quality, and I’ve never been disappointed. Easy to get to and easy to work with. Always a pleasure working with Cobalt!”
Court Watson, Scenic Designer, 2017


“This program is one of the most useful trainings I have ever completed in my teaching career. The facilities, the faculty…absolutely incredible. I have used every technique I learned in that course and my school’s productions are now much more professional. I have taught numerous students these techiniques – many of which can even be used in your own home! Absolutely hands-down worth it.”
Lindsay Shields on Teachers Training, January 2017
