Dear Colorado ACTS,
Thank you for offering the art and experience of theater to our community. Colorado ACTS inspires our youth to express their inner actor and actress. Covid-19 presented many challenges and hardships for your organization, but I am grateful to see the program endure. Wheat Ridge is lucky to have your school as part of our community. With dwindling arts, music, and theater productions in school, it's lovely to have your organization offer that education. I look forward to seeing Colorado ACTS thrive in this community and find the opportunity to be invaluable for our children. Thanks again for all your hard work, dedication, and imagination you bring into the world.

Dear Cindy,
Again, we all enjoyed the show so much. The part of Queen Bee/Gloria, let me just say I think your daughter is gifted. You had a great cast all around. It is such a rare treat to see a show so well done. Take care, Edith Weiss

Kudos to director, cast and crew for an outstanding production of Once Upon a Leprechaun. My wife, mother-in-law and myself attended the final performance this past Saturday night. The acting was spot on, singing beautiful, and the choreography wonderfully energetic. Thanks again, for such a delightful evening!
All best wishes and much success in future productions.

You guys are awesome! Thanks for bringing your fine production to F.M. Day. It was a hit and so very important for these little ones to experience theater.
F.M. Day School
This was amazing and unlike anything we have ever done. With five kids and three who are adopted with special needs, life is complicated and we end up spending most of our time at doctor offices. Thank you so much for a program that met the needs of kids with a wide variety of challenges! They each shined and more importantly that each knew and felt that they shined! The speech/projection practice was unparalleled.

Never seen her so excited and talkative about an activity! When we pulled in day one and saw the sign with the cross, I knew we made the right decision! She met great friends, blossomed in confidence, challenged herself and took on something new. Thank you for all your encouragement and welcoming/inclusive spirit. Excellent! 10/10 on all! From emails, to face-to face contact and throughout the week all communication was excellent.

It has been such a pleasure to attend a few of Colorado ACTS shows this year! Also, have to share that we feel like Sarah and Hannah’s experience with The Music Man and Miss Erin was such a great experience, and we wished to say thank you for opening your facility for kids to practice for such things:) Just yesterday Sarah was singing The Music Man songs, and before I knew it, I was humming along, and so was Hannah. Catchy tunes indeed. It was like that for Seussical, too.
Parent
You are amazing. What an excellent production! I so enjoyed the play last night, was once again shocked at the quality of what can be pulled together in two months! Mostly I am extremely thankful that our child has a safe place to spend time building confidence. Our child struggles with language and learning and a lot of other social type things. This is such an amazing way for our child to be around great, accepting people and be able to work toward an end result in something that is fun and rewarding. My husband and I are eternally grateful. Thank you for your hard work!!!

Our family participated in last year’s Friday morning home school group, which produced plays directed by Cindy Oury and Ebie Panozzo. All three of our kids are fairly quiet and shy, and none of them had previous drama experience. Their time proved to be an opportunity which helped them in their communication skills, as well as in their ability to answer the questions, “Where do I fit in to the big picture? What is my part to play?” Literally and figuratively! We are grateful for what they have learned through their experience. We plan on returning for another year, even though the drive is long for us. It is definitely worth the time and financial commitment.
Parent
I just wanted to express my sincerest admiration and gratitude. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed being a part of The Music Man production. She is an extremely shy girl who has been having some struggles recently with self-esteem and to watch her smiling face while she was performing was amazing! I am so grateful for you, your co-workers and your theater group. What you provide to the families and the children that come through there is wonderful! It was so fun to see all the hard work pay off into what was a fun and entertaining performance! We are blessed to know you!
Parent
My child has grown in all areas and we feel fortunate to have Colorado ACTS in our lives. It allows for students to develop skills, strengthen talents and develop new ones. It is affordable and from the communities perspective produces shows that are quality and affordable for families. Thanks!
Parent
My children have always been very outgoing, but Colorado ACTS has made them more confident, and comfortable in their own skin.
Parent
Colorado ACTS has boosted the social confidence of all of my children, as well as providing a safe, healthy place to explore their creativity, and communication skills. All three of my teens are now competent communicators and comfortable speaking in front of groups of peers as well as adults. Thank you CoACTS!
Parent
I am so pleased and impressed by your students who performed last night. Every child was amazing! I am so very glad we have signed into this great platform you provide with such great kids at Colorado ACTS. My son is so excited for the summer. Thank you for everything you and all the staff and volunteers do. Please pass along my hip hip hooray cheers for all the students as they were all so, so good!

Really fun show tonight! We enjoyed it thoroughly! It is such a treat to get to see you on stage, and exponentially so when we get to see your kids up there in the same show! And of course, Angela does a fantastic job as well! I knew this would be fun, and it definitely was. Thanks again for a great evening!

Wonderful Christian organization. My children had a wonderful first experience with ACTS. They are really looking forward to returning in the fall.

Absolutely fantastic program that is much needed in this world. The arts are of the utmost importance, especially when centered around children.
Peter Pan Parent
We love that tuition is reasonable. Classes are of a generous length. I am always surprised by the production value they accomplish with limited funds.

Our child has had a wonderful experience with Colorado ACTS and only wishes that she could have started when she was even younger.

I wanted to express just how much of an honor it was to act with your group! You all showed tremendous patience and faithfulness. You are igniting dreams. I loved every step, every up and down. I appreciate so much of your diligence. You are so much appreciated. Thank you all sooo much! Keep up the wonderful work! Keep inspiring kids!

We are the Waco family who took summer classes with you for three summers, several summers ago. We were so excited to see you're doing online classes because we can join from afar! All right! We just love your theatre!! The girls have done several shows here in Waco, but nothing compares to Colorado ACTS!
Parent
I really just wanted to thank you for being so awesome during this show. I had a pretty bad experience with the theater at my school, and I was really nervous to start up again at ACTS. Everyone there was super nice, however, and I really think it brought a lot of confidence back. Thank you so, so much! I had a ton of fun.
Spring Musical Student
I am so sad this pandemic has affected the theater school so profoundly. It's hard to put into words the benefits the school has provided to my kids over the years...from the friendships they have made to the way they have come out of their shells after years of dealing with learning disabilities. Colorado ACTS is a true blessing to our family.
Parent of 3 students at ACTS
Love that my daughter has found a community where she feels like she belongs.
Parent
We like how the instructors get to know the individual personalities of each actor and respect what they have to say. They're also great at having fun with the class.
