★★★★★Jim CasertaBoth my daughters have done classes and camps with The First Act and Aine. They love the shows and performing. It has helped them become comfortable in public speaking situations which helps in presenting projects in school and extracurricular activities. Most importantly, they love going, practicing their lines at home, rehearsing, and being on stage performing. I have recommended the First Act to friends whose kids are also enjoying the classes and camps.
★★★★★Kristen BankertBoth of my daughters have attended The First Act summer drama camp for years. It is the most welcoming and inclusive environment. Miss Aine makes every child feel special and brings out the best in them. I HIGHLY recommend this program to any parent who wants their child to gain confidence, have fun and make new friends. 5 stars isn't enough!
★★★★★Dolly PenlandWonderful organization! I highly recommend The First Act CCT! During the classes and camps, students learn good study habits, self confidence, public speaking and much more. And they have great fun! At the end of the summer camps, they put on a real show with professional sets and great costumes.
★★★★★Anne MillaireWhat a wonderful children’s theater. Aine is so amazing with the kids and they all love it. My daughter is doing the summer camp for the 3rd year now and my son is joining this year for the first time. He can’t wait after watching the other kids perform that’s all he talked about.
★★★★★Tina ValoisThe first Act Children's Drama Company is nothing short of an amazing experience for all young children. Miss Aine is a wonderful teacher and makes learning drama fun and exciting. Miss Aine is very encouraging to my child when she is having a difficult time or off day and takes the time to talk to her and help her overcome anything. I have always wanted my child to find something in life to love and look forward too and I feel like she has found something to be passionate about in what Miss Aine is teaching her. It has really helped her also to step out of her comfort zone and be brave and try something new. I see her confidence in herself also improving as she feels good about what she is learning and the progress she is making since she first began attending classes. It is my hope that her newfound bravery and confidence in herself will transcend to all areas of her life.
