Around the Curtain Community Children's Theatre

★★★★★Courtney Williams

My son has been doing shows with ATC for the past two years! Around the curtain provides a great atmosphere for children to engage in creating meaningful productions. The staff has a love of theater and a passion for teaching children. We have loved being part of the around the curtain community!

What continues to amaze me about ATC is that the entire organization is fully volunteer-run and operated. The amount of time, heart, and dedication the leadership pours into these kids is unmatched. They show up, give endlessly, and always put the growth, safety, and joy of the students first. Even when certain individuals don’t get their way and choose to throw a tantrum, the leadership never wavers. They stay professional, steady, and committed to the mission: creating a supportive, enriching, and uplifting space for all kids. Their integrity and focus on the bigger picture are exactly why this program is so special. Me and mine will always be grateful for everything they do!

Around the Curtain Children’s Theatre is one of those rare places that instantly makes you feel like you’ve found something really special. It’s not just about putting on a show, it’s about building confidence, friendships, and memories that last a lifetime. The directors and staff genuinely care about every child who walks through their doors. They create such a warm, welcoming environment where kids feel safe to be themselves, try new things, and step outside their comfort zones. You can tell they pour so much heart into everything they do. Watching the kids on stage is amazing, not just because the performances are so well done, but because you can see how proud and happy the kids are. They’re having fun, learning, and growing with every rehearsal and performance. Our experience with Around the Curtain has been nothing but wonderful. It’s more than just a theater; it’s a community, and we’re so thankful to be part of it. If you’re thinking about getting your child involved, do it. You won’t regret it

My daughter joined ATC after we attended their production of Little Shop of Horrors. We were very impressed. Since then, she has been in nearly every production. She has also taken many of the homeschool courses offered during the day. ATC has always been a welcome and safe environment, and she has made many friends. We quit public school due to bullying, so I am incredibly grateful that a theatre group like this exists. The staff are all unpaid volunteers that give up their free time and then some to make this happen. I think they're incredible people, and I can't recommend ATC enough!

Our child can be very shy in new environments and needs a little extra support navigating group settings, but Around the Curtain Children’s Theatre has been one of the few places where we’ve seen them truly thrive. The directors, staff, and volunteers create such a welcoming, structured environment that our child felt comfortable and encouraged right away. One thing I really appreciate as a parent is knowing that ATC takes safety seriously. Volunteers go through background checks and training, which is exactly what you want from any program working with children. It’s clear that the people involved genuinely care—not just about putting on a great show, but about helping every child feel seen and successful. We’ve had nothing but positive experiences. The communication is clear, the performances are so well done, and most importantly, our child comes home happy, proud, and excited for the next day.
