Are there really no acting studios in Redwood City?
None on file: none of the 24 cards carry an address in Redwood City. Acting classes gather where the theatres and the production work are, so traveling to a bigger city for a weekly class is ordinary in this field. Check the local theatre as well, since companies often run classes without listing them as a business.
