React (formerly Youth Actors Theatre) is an Indianapolis theatre program that runs summer camps in June and July for students in grades K-12. Working with beginning through advanced actors, campers devise original characters and stories, then rehearse and perform them, with optional design, costuming and assistant-directing roles.

★★★★★Brian PadrickMy daughter goes to react and loves it! She has been in so many programs but she says that this is her favorite one!
★★★★★Kortni StoutAmazing place! If you have kids and want them in something that is not stressful and fun this is the place.
★★★★★Stefanie OrzechowiczWe absolutely love React! It’s such a loving, inclusive environment! My daughter looked forward to every session and loved performing on stage. Staff are dedicated to building children up and instilling confidence. They meet children where they are at developmentally and take an individual approach to each child. So happy we found React!
★★★★★Roz RankinYAT allowed my daughter to build her confidence while expressing herself through the form of art. Over the past semester, I've seen my daughter come out of her shell and enjoy being around groups of people. She really enjoyed making her own costume and being front and center on stage. The performance, was well executed. Every child had a decent amount of lines. I highly recommend this program for young actors.
★Shannon jamesI have to laugh a little at how this place has 5 stars. My experience was horrible with having my child attend. To all the instructors you don't teach a student how to gain confidence with bullying them to a point were they want to leave crying. Justin's incessant yelling and temper tantrums were beyond unacceptable in a professional setting. Almost embarrassing that a grown man behaves this way In front of not only my child but other children! My child is confident!! She's a beautiful young girl!! She knows her worth but I truly feel bad that she had to experience what she did with the people she did. I would give you less than 1 star if I could you barely deserve that. I honestly hope that one day you can experiment with different ways of teaching your eager students confidence without having to use bullying.
