Iam writting this letter in regaurds to being ripped off by John Robert Powers acting and modeling school in Charlotte north carolina, we were approached while we were on an family outing by one of the so called talent scouts, they asked if my sons would be interested in acting or being on the disney channel, shows such as even steven, raven ect. Then they proceeded to call us a few weeks later all excited telling us congratulations! Our sons have been chosen to come and audtion, so we took them both up there, and only one was chosen, my 4 year old, then they told us how talented our son was and what an old spirit that he had to be only four, and that it was imperative that we get him registered with the school john robert powers right away they are very pushy and have a way of being decieving.
John Robert Powers did not help my son achieve anything, they would give us the monolougue and lines to teach him that they wanted him to know, also before we signed anything we asked if there were anymore money obligations and they told us no which in fact there were, such as, we purchased 2 books one for etiquette and manners and another called the actors alphabet, they also attempted to get more money after an audition they had chosen my son for, which required over 8,000 for us to make a trip to the IPOP convention in New York.
John Robert Powers in charlotte north carolina are Cruel and heartless! I say this because they get their prey and rip the gutts out although they know deep down inside they know who exactly they are putting the facade up to, and that is the middle class and the lower middle class. My husband and I had just became a new family with our two boys, we had just adopted, this was supposed to be an uplifting experience for my son, as though he hasn't had enough disappointment in life, and no we were not expecting stardom over night but we were expecting what was promised to us, none of what was promised has happened.
My husband asked for information from john robert powers in regaurds to who the owner was and corporate information and they refused to give him that information he was told to write a letter and get it certified and mail it to the charlotte location which my son attends, and from there they would make sure that the corporate office recieved it. The 2,900 that my husband spent on the clases were an equivalent of six of his pay checks, hard earned money we can't afford to be scammed, if there is anyone else out here in the charlotte area that have experience the same issues please feel free to contact me so we can dicuss the matter further thank you and god bless!
