Los Angeles Theatre Academy

My daughter did a week of summer camp here. She liked it alot. They are super nice, plus they provide lunch. I think we’ll send her again next year.

My just-​turned 8 year old daughter finished one week of summer camp at LATA and she loved it. Every day the activities are varied, interesting, educational and creative around a theatre theme. Activities include improvising, makeup, prop-​making, and dance. The director Alejandra is warm and I felt assured that the kids are in a safe and caring environment. This place is a little known treasure in the heart of Elysian Park. They fully utilize the special setting — the natural amphitheater, outdoor spaces shaded by trees with performances, mini field trips and hikes in the surrounding park areas. We will definitely return next summer.

My daughter has been enrolled in the Theater Academy as an after school program for most of the last year and is now in the summer program.
I can’t say enough good things about the program.
The kids take part in very ambitious, beautifully staged productions that they take great pride in, but the program offers so much more than (very professional) theater training.
The staff are exceptionally dedicated, professional and caring, and the days are filled with everything from homework time, dance, singing and gymnastics instruction to free play and ethics classes!
I have seen positive changes in my daughter’s demeanor, behavior and social skills that I can fairly confidently ascribe to Alejandra and her staff.
The tuition is reasonable. They take care of transportation from my daughter’s school, and she doesn’t want to leave when I come at the end of the day to bring her home. What’s not to love?

I love Los Angeles Theatre Academy. My son is enrolling for his 2^nd school year on the after school program. Everything is great from really affordable fees and they offer so much. The program mainly focuses on their homework. but they vary from singing, dance, gymnastics and of course theatre. The kiddos are great but become greater. The staff who are all professional in the field of theatre help develop the childrens skills for it. My son is only 6 and is not embarrassed to perform on stage. He is so inspirational to me since I was never offered those opportunities growing up and he enjoys it. I would still be shy to even speak in public but him and all the children do it with out a worry and are so comfortable with their acting. We can’t ask for more than this great program.
