3000+ Happy YADA Families
Jamie Koh
Thank you for making Sera feel confident that she can be cast for any part if she puts in her best effort– even a part that would normally be played by a white, blond girl. She called herself the “Asian Elle Woods” and I absolutely loved that.
Lisa Katz
Hiram had such a blast at camp! I asked him if he’d like for me to look for theatre classes closer to home for the school year and he said, “You know, mom, I’m a YADA or nothing kind of guy.” You have a fan for life!
Leigh Stein & Joe McNamara
Our daughter, Blythe McNamara, was in the Puddles Cast for “Singin’ in the Rain.” We could not believe what your teachers did with these children in 2 weeks; the joyful artistry was off the charts.
Blythe’s teachers Leigh and Morgan were incredible to say the least – so talented and caring. Blythe fell in love with them, and we are so grateful to them for inspiring her to sing and dance her heart out.
Nina & Mark S.
I wanted to write and thank you. Eva could not have had a better experience. This was her first time doing a musical and I was kind of nervous for her. Totally unwarranted, as I found out, because you guys really know how to encourage confidence. I hope we can do another musical sometime in the future.
