"
“I started in musical theatre as a twelve-year old, it changed that part of me for the better. Theatre gave me that creative outlet while at the same time cultivating my personhood. Young people need theatre arts to prepare them for the long journey they have ahead of themselves.”

Noah Acting Essentials Student
"“I have been in the theater camps here at the Center for several years. Being a part of a show has given me the confidence and courage to get up in front of 400 people and portray a boy obsessed with TV and video games in Willy Wonda, a wicked sorcerer in Aladdin, and 300-pound green ogre in Shrek. On behalf of myself and the other 650 kids who have had camp experiences, I thank you.”

"My daughter's expression on stage said it all. She appeared more confident than ever and seemed to have a blast. She definitely had a positive experience!

"We couldn't be happier with the experience. The director was a dream come true and her staff seemed equally great. The performances were amazing, and all of the kids seemed genuinely happy.

"More of THESE please! Theater camp teaches kids about good work ethics, team dynamics, good things happening when people practice & collaborate. And best of all they have FUN while learning. What can be better than that!
