★★★★★Dr. Jolene Kuty (Kuty Chiropractic, LLC)They did it again! I've never a number of musicals here. Each is inventive and heartwarming. The new Edward Tulane Musical is so well done! You can truly never go wrong here and their casts are always great! Katie, we love seeing you through the years. Young or older young, this company is truly for all ages. Such a moving show. Bravo!
★★★★★JamalMy daughter did a Saturday program with them, and she enjoyed it. There was one time my daughter got a little anxious with the noise and the staff notified me and said they pulled her aside for a little bit and had her eat her snacks. And then she was fine! I really appreciated them sending me a text about it. The performance at the end is a great treat! Highly recommended 😀
★★★★★Laura Green SchoenfeldChildsplay has been so great for my kids! They love the opportunity to be creative. I appreciate the kind and supportive staff that create fun and supportive environments for my kids. Can’t recommend Childsplay enough!
★★★★★Jennifer MonningerMy 4 year old loves the theater program. It has really brought her out of her shell a bit and she seems to have a lot of fun there despite usually disliking drop off programs or being left without us. The little performances are really fun to see and she seems to be learning a lot about basics of creating a character, hitting a cue, and performing in front of a group. We will definitely keep bringing her back.
★★★★★Gina FranciscoI’m a teacher who has been fortunate enough to take my class to productions here once a year for the last several years. The theater is beautiful and the productions are fantastic. Absolutely would recommend. I’m so glad my own kids are old enough to enjoy a show now!
