Review for Fort Lauderdale Children's Theatre, Ft Lauderdale, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Let me see....Logan I believe was 6 and he discovered acting....Theater to be more specific...shortly there after he started taking classes with FLCT and the rest is history...someday Logan WILL be on Broadway and so much of his development and growth is attributed to this wonderful group of kids, teachers, and performers. I myself was involved in some performances and the impact on the lives of these kids and the community is tremendous...My older sons became involved in performing as well as behind the scenes activities. i could go on and on about so many individuals that have inspired not only my kids but so many talented kids that have been afforded the opportunity to display their immense talents and artistry in such a positive and confidence building environment. FLCT is a family that supports each other and promotes the arts so unflinchingly. They do community outreaches that help to educate and teach kids through performances. These efforts always incorporate the kids that are part of FLCT, so that it instills that feeling of selflessness and the spirit of giving within these performers. I would'nt trade the experiences my kids and I have had with FLCT for anything. Please support the arts and your local children's theaters. There is such an untapped abundance of young talent that performing arts provides the confidence to express themselves and grow into loving, caring, and inspirational adults. It can only improve the quality of our society as a whole!!!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I've personally experienced this group by being a volunteer on numerous productions and teaching capacities and I myself have performed and it was astounding my development from a self confidence standpoint as well as my ability to accept so many different personalities without judgment. This extends to everyones attitude within this group and their support of each other.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

The only change I would wish is to make them more visible to a wider audience. Sometimes the title of the group is perceived by people as some run of the mill childrens group putting on plays. FLCT is so much more than that. These are professional productions almost fully run by the kids involved. i wish the whole world knew about this group.

Would you volunteer for this group again?

Definitely

greater advertising to reach more of an audience

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)

improved my self confidence, showed me I had nothing to fear on stage, opened my eyes to the world of the arts so much more than i ever would have seen without my son's initial involvement with FLCT.

How did this volunteer experience make you feel?

fantastic!!!!
