"My granddaughter joined Forefront Arts for the first time this summer and LOVED IT! One of the best child-appropriate and enjoyable experience. The Forefront Team is kind, creative and skilled to bring out the inner-actor of any child. Highly organized, lots of fun, and responsive to children and parents. The performance of Alice in Wonderland was awesome. Thanks for such a great experience for children." - Hanna
