Powered by GoogleWhen looking for an acting class for my 9 year old son, we came across Katie O'Gradys acting class for kids and teens. And it has been the best experience that we could have experienced. Stephanie Ayako is our teaching coach. Her professional resume clearly shows when working with her students.! We plan on staying here for years to come! Thank you, guys, for a wonderful experience!
As a parent, I became concerned about my daughter’s friend group at school. It seemed like many of the kids around her were starting to get involved with drugs and focusing heavily on things like boyfriends, and I really wanted her to be surrounded by positive, sober teens her age who were working toward something meaningful. I literally hopped on google and did a search. Acting for Kids & Teens popped up. Enrolling her was one of the best decisions I’ve made. She absolutely loves the class and looks forward to going every single Saturday. It has given her a creative outlet, a supportive community, and something exciting to focus on. Her teacher, Steph, is fantastic and truly connects with the students in a positive and encouraging way. Hallie was also absolutely wonderful during the enrollment process—kind, helpful, and very responsive. I’m so grateful to have found a place where my daughter can build confidence, express herself, and spend time with other teens who are passionate about acting and creativity. I highly recommend Acting for Kids & Teens to any parent looking for a positive and inspiring environment for their child.
My 15 year old daughter has been taking classes from Acting for Kids & Teens for a couple months and l’ve seen so much personal growth Her confidence and self-esteem improved so much! I totally recommend this to any child or teen who wants to experience a fun way to express themselves.
My son absolutely loves this program! He looks forward to every class and always comes home excited about what he learned and the fun activities they did. We really appreciate the warm, welcoming, and professional atmosphere. Such a great place for young actors to grow and have fun!
My 9yr old recently started classes here and I can honestly say this is the most excited and eager he has been for any extra curricular activity! This is a place where he feels safe and respected, and can let his inner self shine with the help of his coach and peers. It’s a beautiful open space, everyone is super friendly and accommodating, and you can tell that that kids have had the best time during their class. It’s overall a very positive, encouraging, and supportive experience that I highly recommend!
