I am about to audition for college and I feel more than ready to venture out into the “real world” of theatre mostly because of the education I have received from Theatre360.

Theatre 360 provides exceptional training and nurturing for children in theater. Combined with rigorous, high caliber production opportunities, this training made our son happy and prepared him for college BFA auditions and resulted in his acceptance to top programs! THANK YOU, Devon Yates, and Theatre 360.

I have learned more from Devon in one lesson than I have from a year of private lessons with another teacher.
