Parents of students ages 5-12 participating in our painting and theater after-school programs at Riverdale Neighborhood House in the Bronx had this to say:
"She feels proud of her accomplishments and said 'I did it even though I thought I couldn't' "
"I could tell he really enjoyed painting and he always came home with clothes full of paint. So he must have really gotten into it and had a great time."
Students in grades 3-7 participating in our theater arts programs at Elysian Charter School in Hoboken, NJ had this to say about their experience:
"This class is so different from what we normally do in our classes so I have fun doing it because it's not normal school work."
"I loved it! I love acting, and my favorite was doing the show at the end. My mom thought I was really good."
"I think I'm a good actor and would never have known without this class."
