"It's hard to describe all the great things that we have experienced about Kids Act. It's not only the imaginative plots that the children design, or the esteem-building structure and guidance from idea to script, or even the fact that they get the opportunity to be on stage in front of people and perform their creations; for me it's the loving, embracing nature of Aleta and her "anything goes" attitude that has the backbone to this program. You can enroll in any acting program, there are many of them, but this one is truly special. It gave my son the foundation for which to go on...he is actually now in the entertainment industry, doing films and commercials. He has only studied under Aleta, no other acting coach. It's a fantastic program that allows the children to not only see, but be involved in all facets of each creative process."        --Mary Jo McCaffery

"Kids Act has been so wonderful for my daughter.  Not only has it been lots of fun for her, but it has also brought up her self-esteem and made her more confident.  Aleta has an incredible and warm way in which she teaches our kids about theater,working together, and having fun at the same time.  I highly recommend Aleta and Kids Act to any parent looking for a fun and educational experience for their child."          --Vera Fischer

"My daughter loved the playful environment of Aleta's Drama class, enjoyed the creation of the play together and fell further in love with performance.  Aleta's energy and enthusiasm is infectious and the kids take in her solid instruction on projection, line delivery and set building naturally while they enjoy their classmates and their creation together. I am thrilled to have found someone with such amazing skills to work with my child."              --Jennie Starr
