Testimonials
"Ensemble Children's Theatre is a gem of a find for young theatre enthusiasts! My daughter has been participating for the past year, and we couldn't be happier with the experience she's had. As a parent, it's so important to me that she's not only entertained but also inspired and encouraged to explore her creativity, and Ensemble Children's Theatre does exactly that.
​
The productions director Elisabeth Speckman puts on are nothing short of magical. From classic fairy tales to original stories, each performance is crafted with care and attention to detail that captivates both children and adults alike. But what sets Ensemble Children's Theatre apart is the commitment to fostering a love of theatre in young audiences. They offer workshops and classes where kids can not just learn about acting, but all aspects of theatre, allowing them to develop their skills in a supportive and nurturing environment. My daughter has participated in a few of these workshops, and it's been incredible to see her confidence grow with each session.
​
The best part of all this is the sense of community that Ensemble Children's Theatre creates. From the warm welcome we receive every time we attend a class to the friendships she has formed with other young theatre-goers, it truly feels like a second home for her. I can't recommend Ensemble Children's Theatre highly enough!"

“We can’t say enough about how much we’ve appreciated [Ensemble]. Elisabeth has created a truly inclusive space for learning all things theater. She is meeting children where they are at, and helping them grow their skills and confidence as actors in a fun and supportive environment. The time commitment is reasonable, and the value is outstanding.
I recommend Ensemble for any child who wants to be on stage for the first time and understand the ropes of production. Seasoned performers can also learn from Ensemble teaching artists and guests, a list that includes professional actors, directors, playwrights, technicians, and even stage combat instructors!”

We'd love for you to join our Ensemble.
"My daughter, who is now in 4th grade, has been with Ensemble Children's Theatre from the start. We have done several 1 day workshops and just finished our 2nd play. Ensemble's program is so comprehensive, professionally organized and run, and high quality that it is our go to program to grow our daughter's love of theatre and performing arts.
Elisabeth and the whole Ensemble team take extra care from start to finish to make sure that the kids involved have everything they need to be successful. We have seen a reduction in our daughter's anxiety and an increase in her sense of self and confidence since her time with Ensemble. Ensemble takes diligent care to make sure students are learning pragmatic skills including problem solving, team work, attention to detail, and the how tos of theatre from backstage to on the stage.
The kids also have so much fun, are allowed to be their unique quirky selves and let their creativity shine. I cannot thank Ensemble enough for all they have done and would recommend to anyone who is curious about trying out theatre or wants to be all in!"
