"Our son absolutely loves Young Players. He's taken a couple of the classes and plans to take more. He had been playing sports since kindergarten which had shown him a lot of discipline. However, Young Players gave him the outlet he needed to express his goofy, outgoing and creative side. He's currently performing in a local play and plans to audition for more in the future. We credit Young Players for supporting and directing our son towards his passion in acting."

--Scotland Thede, parent of
an Alberta Rider Elementary student

“The kids and parents just love it! These classes build self-esteem and valuable communication skills. It brings the shy child out of his/her shell while providing an outlet for the active child!”

—Kevin Olds, Principal
“Last night, Megan told me that this was by far the best camp she’s ever done. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
—Theresa Reiley
“We do a lot of fun things, and I get to express myself like I don’t get to in class.”
—Kyla, third grade
“This is a great company to work with!  They offer fun classes that the kids thoroughly enjoy.  The staff members are enthusiastic, responsive, organized, and professional.  They truly go out of their way to make the program successful." 
—Kathy Stallkamp, PSO President
“We were delighted by Caroline’s experience in this acting camp. She loved the class. The teacher was both loving and enthusiastic, yet had seemingly great control of the group. They produced a delightful show, Thank you!”
—Michelle Dorman (Pirate’s Tale)
“After every workshop, the boys came home and played the games until bedtime. They loved it!”
—Henry and Sam’s Mom, Summer Program - 2004
“As a direct result of the theater games, I have seen many changes in children. I have seen withdrawn and shy children begin to participate. I have seen aggressive and impulse-driven children learn to patiently wait for, listen to and value others. I have seen all children working more cooperatively, with refined awareness and concern for each other.”
— Sixth Grade Teacher
“My child was in high spirits all week-he loved it!”
—Parent from “Pirate’s Tale” workshop
"This is the best enrichment class in which we’ve ever enrolled our son!"
—Aaron’s Dad, Summer of 2004
“My daughter never talks about camps at the end of the day…but she couldn’t stop talking about this one!”
—Parent from “How to Be a Drama Queen!” workshop
"When the children arrive to class, the air becomes electric, and the magic begins! I even heard an administrator say that she’d never seen the kids so excited about an after-school program as they were about Young Players!"
—Amy Reza, Young Players Columbus Director
“Timmy mostly was enrolled in sports related camps. This allowed him to explore the more creative side of his personality and to work with others in a different way. It was a nice change from the other summer programs offered…he enjoyed it very much!”
—Anne DeVries
“I want to do this everyday!”
