Both of my kids had the opportunity to participate in P.S. ARTS’ theater program. My daughter was so shy and introverted that I thought she wouldn’t want to participate in something like this, but she surprised me! The program really helped her come out of her shell. For my son, the program gave him confidence. It reaffirmed what we have been teaching our kids, that it’s ok for them to be themselves. He is silly, ridiculous, and he’s wonderful at making impressions or making up voices. He was able to do all that in the P.S. ARTS program. He was always afraid people would make fun of him, but not in this program. Everyone was so welcoming and supportive, and it was a positive experience for both my children.
