I have seen my share of children's theater in LA, but nothing has even come close to the phenomenal productions that Act-1 produces. It is truly like watching a MASTER CLASS with kids that are so off the chart talented, it literally blows me away...ever time! My daughter has participated in extremely sophisticated musicals with this group, including "Les Miserables". It has opened my daughters eyes to the magnificence of excellent theater and has taught her so many incredible skills. But the thing I am most grateful for is that fact that she has literally enjoyed ever moment and has had the time of her life. These people are family to us and it has now rubbed off on my son who is now also bitten by the acting bug! Thrilled to share many more wonderful memories with this outstanding theater company!
My daughter Elizabeth did over 20 shows with ACT-1 over the course of 11 years, and it was a phenomenal experience for her as a performer. She learned a lot, and grew through every production she was a part of. Most importantly, she feels a connection with the directors that has continued into her adult life. Our family was loved and supported through some challenging times, and I can honestly say that ACT-1 is a big part of our surviving them. The strong, involved parent group and the directors went out of their way to be there for us. As a performer myself, I appreciate seeing the care and guidance each child under the care of Chera and Sierra receives. They are the best. The shows are spectacular. I always enjoy them, even when my child isn't in them.
