"YAT has been a great experience for our family! Justin and Catherine provide a wonderful environment, not only for learning, but for building confidence and self-esteem.  Their programs are age-appropriate  and provide a setting where kids of all ages can develop strong relationships with other kids who have the same interests and love for the theatre.  I love the positive impact YAT has had on both our middle-schooler and high-schooler.  Additionally, our elementary-schooler has been able to watch his sisters shine on-stage and gain a true interest in the arts, as an observer!"

"YAT brought such a positive energy to my 1st grader, he truly feels that he belongs to the YAT family ... we will be back."

"This YAT experience has been wonderful for my daughter. Although she's never been shy at home, she certainly can appear that way to others. YAT has opened her up, given her
confidence, education, invaluable experience, and just plain fun! Everything I heard about YAT has proven true...the claims are not exaggerated."

"Our girl scout troop loved Community Day. The girls had a wonderful time and really enjoyed seeing performers their own age putting on such an outstanding production!  It was very impressive! Thanks for sponsoring such a great community opportunity!"

"I was so impressed with the involvement of all ages in "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" especially the K-2 children. They seemed thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful experience."

"I had several groups attend the community day and one of our 5th grade teachers (involved with our dramatic productions) thought the whole experience was unbelievable. She brought her son who is anxious to get involved with YAT in the near future. Thanks for all your hard work!"

"YAT has taught my daughter discipline and responsibility."

"The teachers do a great job with the kids, and the performances are great. You can really tell that a lot of hard work goes into every production."

"My son's confidence has grown tremendously. He has recently become involved in other school activities, and I know this is because YAT has taught him to be believe in himself."

"I was really impressed at how encouraging the kids are to one another. Justin and Catherine do such a wonderful job with these kids, and they are SO creative! The performance was awesome! It was more than I ever expected. My son and I both are looking forward to him returning for more sessions with YAT."

"I want to thank you for continuing this wonderful program! My daughter has gotten so much from participating! Theatre is a family, and YAT's students are supportive of one another like family should! Great Job and many thanks!"

"Young Actors Theatre has been the best experience for my daughter. She has become more confident and outgoing. She has made many new friends whom she looks forward to seeing every week. I wish we would have found YAT sooner."

"I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your program, and how much the children actually learn about the techniques of acting.  I walked into my daughter's bedroom one night before a performance and she was drawing.  When I asked her about it she said that she was drawing the 4th wall of Narnia.  When I asked her to explain, she said that the 4th wall is what she sees when she is on stage instead of the audience.  I have been blown away by how much she has learned!  Thank you for sharing your talents with these children!"
