Though I was only with YAP for a year it was a wonderful experience full of growth and leadership opportunities. Don can come across as harsh during rehearsals, but only with the oldest of students who he wants and believes will be successful in the business and is very patient with the younger kids and teaches them very well. Meredith and Alex are both wonderfully talented performers and will make you smile no matter how hard of a day you’ve had. Mr. Greg is the sweetest soul and always offers the best hugs ever.I without a doubt enjoyed my time during Frozen and helping with The Jungle Book, and even though Bring It On was difficult without a libretto I was able to become a much more well rounded artist as I received a lot of dance training and was given a leadership role as a section leader.I would highly recommend giving YAP a chance no matter what reviews say as there are opportunities for every age. Everyone has their own needs as growing artists and you don’t know what fits until you try different things.

Our daughter has been participating with YAP for almost 10 years. From the very beginning, director Don Goodner tailors the experience based on each actor. With his original productions as well as licensed shows, theres something for all interests. Our daughter has been allowed to gain experience in acting, choreographing, sound & lighting, student directing, set building and more. This is a great place for those willing to try it all. Kudos to the nurturing staff!

The play by the young actors was great. Lots of great talent.

We love being part of YAP! My daughter has found an activity she loves and made great friends. Classes and production fees are reasonable. We have participated in at least 6 shows and attended many more performances! Definitely worth checking out!

And absolutely incredible business that provides a safe learning experience to kids interested in pursuing musical theatre as a career or just a hobby.

My son was in his first musical with YAP. he has loved it so much and has made some friends. He is going to be in another musical in Dec. Thank you YAP for encouraging young talent.

Kids love being in the shows. Picks good shows, songs. The kids learn a lot about confidence and the arts.The sound mixing at his elementary school shows is always terrible. I’ve seen seven shows over the years, some kids are amplified to unintelligible, deafening levels, while some kids are barely a whisper. This happens no matter the venue, so it can’t be the equipment. Get on your game!A couple other notes. He loves to schedule shows on Mother’s Day weekend.He loves to schedule tech rehearsals far from the kids normal school , and at rush hour to boot.Lastly, he pushes the fan-o-grams excessively, saying the kids love and need them. Really it’s just a money maker for him. If they were that important to the kids, make them free.

Don is not fit to work with kids, he made me and others cry regularly for the four years i was there. They gave me incorrect and misinformed training that i had to unlearn and show blatant favoritism. Caused so much pain and issues that weren’t worth it.

Perfect place for your youngster to learn about acting, singing, and some dancing. YAP produces the best youth musicals I have seen. It is the largest youth theater in Georgia. Wonderful directors, vocal instructors and choreographers. Some plays are originally written by a co-founder, some are Disney Junior, some are based on childrens book series. Every show I have seen is very well rehearsed and staged in fun ways. Great family entertainment.

My daughter just started performing with Young Actor’s Playhouse and she has truly found her niche. Her eyes light up on her way to rehearsal and she is even more energized when I pick her up from practice. Currently she is attending rehearsals or classes 5 days per week and she just loves it. Pricing is very fair and I’ve never felt pressured. The owner does a wonderful job working with the kids to bring out the best in each student. What a fantastic group of which to be a part.

I’m a person you has had many classes here and I have learnt so much about acting here this place is amazing 10/10 would recommend

Excellent mentorship and disciplined atmosphere. If kids are willing to work hard they will thrive.Plays are well written, especially Writers Block.

My daughter has had an absolutely wonderful experience acting, singing, and dancing in two separate shows. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Their passion for acting and working with children is obvious in all that they do. We look forward to being a part of the YAP family for many years to come. I could not recommend them more!

. I have done 13 shows with yap... and counting and it has been an incredible experience

Great experience for young ones who love to act or do musical theater. My daughter had a wonderful experience and she is returning for the movie package.

Our son has been a member of YAP for two years now and it has been an awesome experience. He is learning and performing every aspect of musical theater - Acting, Singing and Dance.

My daughter loves the program, we drive all the way from east Cobb to Kennesaw to be part of it!

Mr. Don is great with the kids! The plays he writes/directs/produces/acts in are totally age appropriate and really cute.

Useful training and fun courses to take at YAP.
