Parent Testimonial:

As the parents of a 10-year old daughter in ATMTC Ensembles, we feel so lucky to have such a wonderful group of talented teachers and directors at ATMTC who, through their heartfelt dedication and passion for their art, make it possible for our children to experience the joy of musical theatre.  ATMTC Ensembles is such a special musical theatre program because it gives children of all ages from third through twelfth grade the opportunity to train for and perform in an impressive array of polished and beautifully choreographed shows throughout the year, including a performance on Adventure Theatre's stage with a Broadway star!  Thanks to ATMTC, our children get to do what they love in an environment that is both fun and challenging, with a great group of friends.  Thank you ATMTC for an amazing year!
