TADA! Youth Theater — Attraction in New York

As a parent, I cannot recommend TADA Youth Theater highly enough. This exceptional program has a resident youth ensemble that not only teaches kids the fundamentals of musical theater but also instills vital life skills such as responsibility, respect, and teamwork.

What sets TADA apart is their unwavering commitment to high standards. Despite being a youth program, they ensure that each child is given the opportunity to explore their passion for performing in a professional and nurturing environment. The staff at TADA are incredibly caring and dedicated, providing a fun, safe, and welcoming space where children can thrive.

I have personally witnessed the transformative impact of TADA’s resident youth ensemble on my own children. Their self-confidence and presence have blossomed, and their public speaking skills have improved remarkably. Moreover, they have had the incredible opportunity to perform in professional-level productions, an experience that has been both rewarding and inspiring.

TADA Youth Theater is not just a place for children to learn about theater; it’s a supportive community that helps them on their journey of self-discovery. I am deeply grateful for the positive influence TADA has had on my children, and I wholeheartedly endorse this wonderful program for any child with a love for...

TADA is a wonderful program. My two daughters have taken multiple classes at TADA - during the school year & in the summer. They’ve enjoyed it so much. Classes provide professional instruction in musical theatre, which culminates in a mini production for parents at the end of the semester. Watching them on stage, it’s so apparent that the kids are having a lot of fun!! TADA also offers the Resident Youth Ensemble, which is tuition-free. Kids have to audition to become members; they’ll receive instruction and opportunities to be in shows. We’ve been to three productions by the Ensemble. The shows were great. Our favorite was the one about Little Red Riding Hood (I forget the exact title). We highly recommend TADA - if you’re in the mood to see a show, you won’t be disappointed. If your kids are interested in musical theatre, they’ll love the classes. And if your kids are interested, we suggest them auditioning for the Ensemble. It seems like an intensive program, but judging by the results (seeing the kids on stage, in productions lasting more than an hour, seeing how well they perform and their confidence and talent), it’s abundantly obvious that TADA has a...

My daughter recently auditioned for TADA’s resident youth ensemble program. She had taken TADA classes, which she loved. So she wanted a more ongoing experience with TADA through the ensemble program. She had auditioned before but the callbacks conflicted with a scheduled vacation. So she auditioned again. The initial audition was a few hours. Luckily she received a callback invitation, and auditioned again over two consecutive days, multiple hours per day. Though that might seem like a lot, my daughter was energized after each audition day (even after the longish train ride to home). She had fun each day. Per my daughter, the auditions were thorough, organized and lively. She also appreciated the staff at TADA. Though there were many kids, per my daughter, the staff were always kind, patient and fair. Overall, my daughter had a very positive experience auditioning for the ensemble program....
