What are parents saying about A.C.T.?
Tiffany
Our daughter has been in many programs for performing arts over the years and A.C.T has hands down been the most encouraging atmosphere we have ever encountered. I was blown away by the talent and kindness of the director and assistant directors and how much progress all of the participants have shown under their thoughtful guidance.

We couldn't be more thrilled to have had our child participate in A.C.T. It was a wonderful introduction to theater, theater skills, and performing. She not only had fun while she was there, but she would teach the family the games and activities she was learning. Ms. Amber is amazing with children, not only as a teacher but a director as well. The "season" was short enough to keep her engaged, stimulated, and not overwhelmed. I would highly recommend this program to any child of any age interested in theater. We will definitely be back and are ready for the next show!

After completing our first play with A. C. T. I highly recommend this company. Amber is incredibly Patient with the kids and allows them the opportunity for their creativity to soar. I watched confidence grow, work ethic grow, friendships grow, and smiles grow over the course of start to finish. We will be back!

I highly recommend ACT for any children looking to experience the world of theatre. Ms. Amber and Ms. Alison create an open, supportive, and fun environment for children to learn and grow in their acting abilities. Our daughter found her voice this summer with ACT and grew leaps and bounds as a performer!

All of the roles were important and open for anyone to audition. Family friendly environment; one can participate on stage or behind stage. Ms. Amber is excellent with children of all ages. The theatre experience is a fantastic endeavor.

My daughter had a wonderful experience with A.C.T! The workshops were fun, and the rehearsals and show were welcoming, inclusive, and engaging. Ms. Amber and Ms. Alison were great to work with and took the time to make sure every child’s experience was a positive one.
Heather
Our family can’t recommend A.C.T. enough and our daughters had THE best experience participating in A.C.T.’s very first workshop! They not only had fun, made new friends but also got to work on their acting/performing skills, which really gave them both an extra boost of confidence. Ms. Amber is also such an incredible director! She’s kind and patient and does everything with such enthusiasm and excellence. We can’t wait for the next one!

I loved the inclusivity of every actor, regardless of past experience and skill level. The self-esteem boost this has given my kids is undeniable, they are so excited for the next production! The bigger kids helping out the younger kids, the adults putting this all together, I loved everything about ACT

This was my 7 year-old daughter's first experience with theatre, and it was such a positive experience! Ms. Amber and Ms. Alison were so patient, and did not strive for perfection. It allowed the children with no former experience to feel at ease and excited about the experience. The show was very well done and allowed children with more experience to shine while giving children of all levels substantial opportunities to be on stage. I really enjoyed seeing my child so happy while participating in this program!
mary
Fantastic! One of the best productions I've been to and the kids absolutely shined. The directors were always positive and their management was amazing. Highly recommend!

Thanks to the wonderful team of leaders, this is such a positive uplifting atmosphere for children, they should all take advantage of this opportunity whether they are shy or not, whether they think they are talented actors or not.
