    • Amazing theater with amazing people running it! Best theater experience ever!

      Denae Branch
    • My daughter has been taking classes at Great Hall Youth theater for nearly two years and has loved every minute of it. She has made some great friends and developed her on stage confidence and abilities significantly. The instructors are always very responsive if any issues ever arise, and are committed to each participant having the best possible experience. They are also very receptive to feedback and are constantly committed to improving wherever possible. They are safety conscious which bring peace of mind as a parent. I would highly recommend this program, regardless of the students current acting or singing abilities.

      Krista Chamberlain
    • My daughter has loved being involved with this company, because she feels safe, comfortable, and valued. Her confidence in theater grew playing main, difficult roles that normally would not be available to her. They get helpful advice and practical experience.

      Kirsten Fowler
    • Great Hall was an answer to our prayers.

      We have been trying to find a good fit for our daughter (who is on the spectrum) for theater since she was old enough to know she loved performing. However, we could never find somewhere where she was accepted and felt at home. When we found Great Hall Youth Theatre everything changed for her. Steven and Theresa are two of the best things to ever happen in the life of our daughter. I can't express in a short review the many ways they have helped her. Needless to say, we cannot recommend Great Hall enough.

      Andrew Branch
    • Your program has been pivotal for my children to make new friends, learn about theater, and gain new skills. We had just moved here ... when we started and it was through engagement in your classes and plays that they developed strong friendships and self confidence. The experience of Great Hall Youth Theatre program has provided a transformative learning environment for my kids and we will always cheer the empowerment and growth of this program!

      Thank you for all you have done to encourage and inspire. Honestly–I cannot say enough the difference it has made for my children to create a base of learning and foundation of experience. You are the kind of mentors that I have always wished and dreamt for these growing humans! Thank you for every single bit!

      With so much gratitude, Shara H.
    • My children are beyond excited and motivated to gain new skills and grow themselves. They each feel like a star. This production is not only fun for them, but it's helping them grow into better, more confident and communicative humans. 💯 recommended!
      Maraly Frandsen
    • Great Hall Youth Theatre is a creative, original, and safe place for my Son to build self confidence, lose inhibition, learn about teamwork, make lasting friendships, all in addition to learning to act, and sing and dance.
      Sydney Darling
    • I loved how involved and dedicated the program was while not being too difficult or having extreme expectations. The kids had fun and learned a new skill
      Nichole Reagan
    • My two granddaughters are loving it.
      Bryan Durst
    • I love the original adaptations, the kids able to be involved in deciding parts of the presentation, all kids having roles and speaking parts, using a real stage, sets, mics, and costumes.
      Mary Clayson
    • I love just about all of it! My kids love being able to practice and perform on stage, they enjoy the games played, and we all appreciate the instruction received.
      Katie Ferrin
    • I appreciate the friendship and the opportunity to learn skills.
