"My daughter was a performer from 1996-98. That's how long this great work has been in existence and even before then. A wonderful learning experience not only in the performing arts but in life skills as well. Debra Asante is a remarkable and gifted woman. She cares about the kids, the community, and the culture. The Motown Revue was a smashing success. Many young people have to gone on to pursue the arts and entertainment industry. All students thrive under her outstanding tutelage."

"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. :-) :-) :-) :-)"
