“This amazing space has provided a place of joy for our daughter. We have seen how your work has given her something to look forward to during the pandemic. She was excited everyday of Summer ‘Cool, which ignited a passion that continues to grow. Through After ‘Cool, we have watched her become a part of a community where she belongs and is accepted. She enjoys the adults, the activities and the other actors. We’ve heard thoughtful, mindful, and engaging conversations that have taught her and promoted creativity. We consider 24th Street Theatre a blessing to our family.”
