The Theater Factory

My son attended the Theater Factory’s production «Ugly Buckling» in ⁰³⁄₂₀₁₄. He liked it so much that he wanted to be part of it. I am very glad that he participated in ⁰⁹⁄₂₀₁₄ session. It was an awesome experience. Ms. Ish is a wonderful person. She develops and communicates clear expectations to motivate students to make positive choices regarding their own learning and acts in accordance with the belief that all students can learn. She effectively communicates these goals and accomplishments to students and parents. After each session, she gives feedback to parents and students. This class really helped my son’s self confidence. He did two presentations in his school and even his class teacher can see the difference in his performance. I would highly recommend the Theater Factory because it’s not just about learning theater, it is a place where with Ms. Ish’s dedication towards each student they learn life lessons and develops personality. My son still remembers one of the lessons he learned from the class «I am good because God made no junk». Thanks to Ms. Ish who is doing such a wonderful job.

Amazing! Quite a treat meeting Ms. Ish. She has proven to be so incredibly patient with the students at the same time holding them accountable. Our son Jordan has a passion for performing and after just one session this summer he told my husband he didn’t want to leave.
Parents I must share that my son struggled with reading but something about being in stage truly speaks to him. No worries about reading at night because he is picking up the script.
We highly recommend Ms. Ish. She not only has patience and pride of her art; she has love for the kids and that speaks volumes to her character.
We are signing up for fall sessions.

I am very glad that I chose to put our son in this amazing class. Ms. Ish is a wonderful teacher… so committed and so very professional! It is not an easy job to bring out the creativity out of a child with proper methods and moreover when they are of different ages in the same class. She has the patience and will try to get the best out of every child. The kids are doing an amazing job as I sit back right before the end of the class and listen to the kids performing and practicing their play.
The best thing about her is the constant feedback we get after the class. She makes it a point to give an update of the child’s progress. She is very dedicated to each child and their progress and has full belief in every individual child in her class.
I am very happy and I believe that at the end of the final performance, all the kids would’ve achieved a higher level of confidence and passion for learning more theater.

WoW!
It has been an amazing experience for our son Abraham and for us to have him attend the Theater Factory. Everyday he wants to attend drama class and be with his teacher and his class mates!
While its fun, exciting and joyful to be there for him, what’s more important is that his learning on so many different levels such as language skills, leadership, team work, respect and confidence.
What Ms. Ish has done for Abraham who’s Down syndrome is incredibly amazing, imagine what an impact it will have on a child who’s needs are far less challenging as Abraham’s.
We can’t wait to see Abraham on stage as his eagerly rehearsing. We want to thank his teacher and his fellow class mates who have supported him tremendously.
Regards,
Abraham’s parents

My daughter participated in the June 2014 session & production held by the Theater Factory. It was an awesome experience — the methodology, the discipline, the one-​on-​one interactions both with the child & parents on a regular basis, the care & attention even towards minute details of their pick up, drop off & the confidence with which the kids performed for the 200+ audience — it is an experience only to be lived through and a sight to behold watching the shy ones speak up & perform on stage with such confidence.
Kudos to the visionary founder & owner of the theater factory, Ish. She does such a wonderful job with the kids. The way she works on so many aspects of a child’s personality, using theater, is just amazing. I would say that it is not just leadership or acting that they learn but overall personality development, social skills and confidence. Would highly recommend this workshop.

My nieces and nephew were visiting us and I was trying to find exciting and educational things to fill their time. I definitely found exactly what I was looking for in the theater and leadership class led by Ish. She is a warm, positive, exceptional instructor. She kept both adults and kids interested and having fun every second we were there. I really feel lucky that we had the chance to meet her as a person and as a theater and leadership instructor. My mother in law, my sister in law and I were very impressed with her and how she directed the kids. I will definitely be bringing back the kids when they visit us. Thank you so much Ish!
