★★★★★Brittany HWords can’t express how thankful I am for Neke’s Theatre Company Performing Arts Center. They have truly poured into my child’s life—not just teaching her the arts, but also building her confidence and showing her that she can shine in her own unique way. The love, patience, and guidance from the mentors here have been life-changing. Watching my daughter grow more confident in herself has been such a blessing, and I know it’s because of the safe, uplifting, and encouraging environment they’ve created. I’ll forever be grateful for the impact they’ve had on her life, and we look forward to coming back!
★★★★★Adrienne LouryI am SO grateful for Neke's Theater Company! During this camp, I watched my wallflower child who barely ever spoke, blossom into a superstar! She danced with passion, developed a business plan and sold hand crafted products, and recited lines in a production. I could not believe my eyes! Ms. Queen and her staff, loved on my child, encouraged her, taught her crucial life skills, and helped her come into her own. My daughter talked about the camp all year, and could not wait to register for this summer. I am forever grateful!
★★★★★stephanie gillNeke's Theatre is an excellent Black Owned Company that sees the whole child. The company is not merely focused on how well your child can perform on stage. The focus is on developing the child's mind through education and mindfulness activities; the child's body through physical health and movement; and sense of self through building confidence and authenticity. I have seen my six year old thrive in Neke's Theathre program. She is ambitious, confident and radiantly artistic! She is playing the piano, singing, acting and even thinking about her next entrepreneurial project because of Neke's Young Artist Entrepreneur Showcase! My experience with Neke's Theatre Company has been EXCEPTIONAL! Neke goes above and beyond and does everything in excellence. She loves children deeply and is passionate about nurturing God given gifts and talents. She is also great at working with diverse learners! Please join Neke's program. You will not regret it!
