Check out these acting "success stories"
about Kids Act alumni!
     
                         
 


The Kids Act Program would like to recognize some of its students and the work that they are doing!

Kids Act is designed to benefit every kid with increased self-confidence, experience working with others, and the joy of bringing the characters and stories they imagine to life. It is based on a core of professional acting exercises and games, plus a special character and story development process that encourages each child to shine. Some kids from my program will want to do more acting. Others will use the benefits of confidence, creativity, and teamwork in different activities. I want to congratulate these former and current Kids Act students for their continued achievements in acting and performing. We will be adding stories of students who use their Kids Act experience in other areas, too!
