Testimonials

"I've always been a quiet person, but all the love and encouragement I receive from both teachers and friends at EVCT just blossoms my confidence on and off stage. " ~ Emma L.

"One of the reasons I keep coming back to EVCT is because of the great people there who share the same interests as me and accept me for who I am. When I first performed on the Mesa Arts Center stage, I realized I wanted to be a performer and surround myself with such positive people and a great environment." ~ Elizabeth S.

"I know that no matter what kind of day I'm having...I can always count on EVCT to make my day better." - Grace K.

"I have been a part of many different productions with various companies and none have quite the level of organization, professionalism, and general friendliness that EVCT possesses. However it's not the organization or pristine performance space that makes it worth coming back each season. It's the relationships you build there with fellow cast mates and crew." ~Ashton F.

"East Valley Children's Theatre is a professional, organized, and mature theater. Not only is EVCT a diligent and focused workplace, it is a place to make friends, have fun, be around
people who like to do the same thing as you, and (most importantly) ACT!!! EVCT has welcomed me into its loving and warm family, and I am proud to be a member of it!" ~Tre M.
