We recently used the Rehearsal Studio at Play With Fire Rehearsal Studios to shoot a podcast episode and a few interviews, and the experience was excellent! Daniel was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole process smooth from start to finish. The space itself is clean, spacious, and well set up — the lighting and overall atmosphere were just right for filming. It’s a great spot for podcasters, musicians, or any creators looking for a professional yet relaxed environment to work in. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a creative space with great vibes and helpful people!

The space was very rustic. It had all the amenities we needed. The heaters worked well and it was warm enough. Getting in and out the building was fairly easy. Great for the price .
There was a lot of work going on around the space so it felt a bit cramped in some areas.
