Why choose AET?

STUDENT:

I have been at AET for 8 years now. This is my third year in the pre-professional program. What I have learned during my time in this program is insane. They don’t teach you only about theater, but also about how to care and learn from mistakes! I’ve been here since I was in the first grade and have no regrets about being put in this company. I love it! It is an amazing program for students who want to work in this business! While you are at AET, you have chances to level up and learn your way around being a performer. I would recommend AET for starting thespians!

PARENT:

We have been with AET for the past 8 years with both of my daughters and have found a community of friends and teachers that will stay with us forever.
Both of my daughters since they were 5 and 6 have been in multiple productions, and gone to nationals in Florida but more than that if possible have thrived, and grown as young ladies with confidence and talent. Thank you to Ms.Knight, AET, and all the parents and kids for making our world a better place.

GRANDPARENT:

My granddaughter has been in this program since she was 5 years old. She has gained confidence and poise over the years. At 7, she could hold an audience with a solo song. The skills she is learning will serve her well, no matter what field of endeavor she chooses to pursue. She has received voice training, dance classes, and acro. She reads at 2 years above her grade level, due to learning songs and lines from printed script. She has learned to project, and how to use a microphone. She has formed friendships that have lasted for years, and most likely will continue for many more.


She has traveled with the theater group to Disney World for Nationals. She has also had the opportunity to see touring professional productions, such as Aladdin and Cinderella.

I can't thank Ms Knight and the other teachers and directors enough for what they have done for my granddaughter. Ms Knight takes a personal interest in every student, and helps them learn the skills needed to promote and develop their talents.

PARENT:

Life changing experience for my daughter. She started when she was 8 and is now 11. She has consistently been in productions. She suffered from social anxiety and seeing her come home smiling from theatre, the self-confidence that has grown within her, the challenges she has faced and overcome. I am so grateful AET has been here to assist her through these formative years.

STUDENT:

I have been at this company for many years and it is amazing! They do musicals and, dramatic plays, summer camps, etc. All of the staff are so nice and talented. It is such a good environment and we learn so much and everyone works so hard!
