"I just wanted to take a min to say the Asante Children's Theater has been an amazing place for me to grow my talent and get to know other individuals that love the arts just as much as me. I have been apart of 3 secession's with the Adult Academy and I have met life long friends that I absolutely love. The Asante Children's Theater is my second family and any chance that i get to be around them I jump at it. :-) :-) :-) :-)"
