★★★★★Marie E.Our family has had a fantastic experience with JBT. Our son, Micah, looks forward to going to Jeter Backyard Theatre every week and loves it more than all his other many activities. It's January and he's already asking about summer camp at JBT. As a mom, my favorite thing about Jeter is the comaraderie and kindness. The older kids are helpful to the younger kids, no one is overly competitive or mean, and all the students/staff lift each other up. The teachers are top notch and it's like a big family. If you're looking for a theatre program that is high quality AND really fun, give JBT a try!
★★★★★Kelly McKenzieWe love Jeter! The reasons are too many to relay in a simple review. Christie Jeter and her team are so incredibly invested in our kids. My daughter was in her first show there at age 10 and was hooked! She is 15 and has now been in almost 20 shows. JBT is great for kids who are new to acting and singing. I've watched Christie take the shyest child and put them in a lead role, and they thrive! She is so savvy at teasing out hidden strengths and helping kids to overcome any obstacles to become comfortable on stage. I've watched many grow into confident performers because of the nurturing they've received. She's equally skilled at taking the kid who LOVES being the center of attention and showing them that EVERY role is pivotal to the show's success. My daughter has embraced her ensemble roles as much as her leads. JBT and the JBTeam are great for those more serious about musical theater as well. The opportunities my daughter has had because of Christie her incredible team have been life changing. From service as a camp counselor to national/international experiences in New York and abroad, my girl has grown incredibly as a young performer and person. I'd urge anyone thinking about an acting school for their child to come to a show. Look at the kids' faces (and their parents) when they're on that stage and the sheer joy they exude. I promise you'll leave amazed, entertained and inspired!
★★★★★Tori SperanzaI have been doing Jeter backyard theater for over 6 years now. I have received nothing but unconditional love from all of the members of the creative team. They all know how to get our attention and get things done. My absolute favorite memories have been made at Jeter or traveling with the team. I have met some of my very best friends but most importantly, been warmly welcomed into an incredible family. I wouldn’t trade my experiences at Jeter backyard theater for the world.
★★★★★Kelly and John NeffMy daughter has participated in JBT for the last 4 years. We have been so pleased with the singing and acting direction she has received. While she has had the growth in theater skills, she has also gained confidence, empathy, and friendship skills while at Jeter Backyard Theater. We have been so pleased with the leadership shown by Mrs. Jeter; the group of kids reflect the kindness and compassion of their teacher. We are so happy to have followed up on a recommendation to try Jeter Backyard Theater.
★★★★★Stephanie GiordanoMy girls have been involved with Jeter Backyard Theater for 7 years. It has been a wonderful learning experience for them. With each performance, they grow in confidence & gain skills that they will use for a lifetime. I am grateful for the love of music it has fostered in both of my girls... a day doesn’t pass where I don’t hear them singing. We love JBT in our house!!
