"As a former public school teacher I have a firsthand understanding of what young people can accomplish when they truly strive to realize their dreams, and I wholeheartedly embrace the arts as a vehicle for helping them find their way," said Laura Bush, Honorary Chair of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. “Access to Theatre has created a remarkable roadmap for success."

"As an artist, working with ATT gave me an opportunity I had always longed for, incorporating theatre arts with the medium of video. The participants created the most diverse and amazing series of video with live performance that I have ever seen!"

"My words have power...I have power."

"I developed different ways to look at situations and new problem solving skills to cope with situations. I became a peer leader in the ATT program and participated in other theatrical programs, like Emerson College's Summer Stage. I am currently an A student in college."

"ATT really lets youâno, MAKES youâget right in there, in the process, and 'get your hands dirty' so to speak. It has taught me innumerable lessons in patience, cooperation, teamwork, leadership, and compassion. It's just one of those moments that make you realize that you do have an effect on your surroundings, and you can make a difference."
