"Play-Ground Theatre @Goddard Denver were my favorite days in my nearly 20 years of teaching. You guys are awesome. There was no way we could have no idea how many opportunities I've had to build on your workshops. The kids remember every second and it is SO easy for me to add activities in every subject after you've been there!"

~ M. McQuail, Goddard School

"Activities such as these help to build self-esteem, confidence, problem solving skills, group interactions skills, language development, concepts development and a host of other positive attributes that lead to the development of happy, healthy, functioning people. We need more programs for children like Play-Ground Theatre and I would highly recommend this curriculum for children of all ages!"
