VTA TESTIMONIALS
FROM THE FAN FAMILY – KATY TEXAS
Voors Theatre Arts is my son Daniel's favorite place to go. He has been with VTA since 2022, when they opened their Theater classes in Katy. I feel so lucky that a friend referred us to this program because our son has been growing with them for two years. We didn’t know anything about them because they were new to Texas after moving from Los Angeles in 2020. There were no reviews, locally, so I wrote an email to Mrs. Joanne, and her warm response made us want to try her classes. This was a great choice we made because it turned out to be the best class for Daniel. My son loved the classes and learned a lot. He has continued improving and learning new skills with Voors Theatre Arts over the last two years and will continue with next year’s season. Mrs. Joanne is patient and skillful and she puts her heart into students and wants them to improve and be challenged so they can move forward. She not only teaches them theatre knowledge, but she also teaches them how to be great human beings. She is a role model for kids. I like her teaching style, and she also writes her own, original scripts for each Theater production. I love this because it can teach kids creativity. They learn how to work together to put a show together, learn responsibility, learn leadership, learn speaking skills, and learn to step out of their comfort zone to try something new. My son Daniel learned enormously from Voors Theatre Arts. Mrs Joanne helped him excel in his performance and shine on the stage. He was cast as Charlie in Willy Wonka in his elementary school, Horton in Seussical the Musical in a summer theatre camp, Simba in another summer camp’s The Lion King, and many more main characters. We can see Daniel’s growth and improvement with his acting from standing still to more movement. His voice became projected, and his acting became more emotional. The skills he has learned from Voors Theatre Arts helped him in public speaking competitions, and when he entered his first competition, competing against 43 other kids, he made it into the finals. We didn’t expect he would win, so we actually left after he competed. The next day, we were surprised that he had gotten second in the middle school tournament and he’s just in 6th grade. We know he won that placement, because of the skill he learned from Voors theatre arts. After working with them for two years, my son is fully prepared to speak in front of people. Shy is never in his dictionary! I write this review from deep in my heart; I would like to recommend these programs to anyone who wants their kids to enjoy speaking in front of people and gain confidence to express themselves.
Our daughter has developed a great confidence in publick speaking and presentation at school, Church, and clubs, since being with the Theater profam at Voors Theater Arts. Instead of sitting back, she has become an active participant and in many cases, a leader. She gives great eye contact, has excellent speaking ability and communicates confidently with adults and her peers. She doesn't get as nervous when public speaking or being on stage. We have seen growth in her confidence and self worth after being with Ms. Joanne for three years. Makenzie has absolutely growin in being able to articulate ideas, present written word infront of people without appearing nervous or anxious. She has learned to pivot and improvise instead of giving up. SHe has tried out other clubs and activities that were out of her comfort zone, without hesitation. If asked to perform at Church, she doesn't hesitate to say yes. She has developed memorization and performance skills and its been great to see her get the recognition and hearing other people from Church coming to me and telling me how amazing she is. This has been after 3 years of particpation in Katy JR Musical Theater under the direction of Ms. Joanne Voors. One thing that surprises me most about her growth is how she handles constructive feedback. She doesn't give up or get upset when someone gives her opportunties for growth, instead she rises to the occasion. She is a team player and encourages other students and is always ready to help them. Theater has opened up so many opportunites that will not only her in school, but will help her in college and in a career beyond. Voors Theater Arts has been a positive force in her life.
