Breitling Performing Arts - Garland, Texas

Tina D.

This organization has a love for children and the arts that is unequaled. Everyone who works here is passionate about their art and sharing that art with the next generation. They enrich children's lives through theater training, music and voice lessons, dance training and painting instruction. The children develop great friendships, self-confidence, commitment and have a lot of fun. My adult daughter, who now teaches art at Breitling still reminisces about her years performing here and wishes she was not too old.

I signed up my daughter for a free trial back in the spring and decided to have her do 2 weeks of beginning acting in the summer. She really enjoyed her time and made new friends, she played many different games and learned some acts and songs. I like that all the kids from different ages and levels are together. They did a little performance at the end of the week which was great. Thank you, we will be back.

My daughter was in the summer production of the Wizard of Oz and I saw such a transformation in her confidence. She asked to continue with acting during the school year and has really enjoyed it. When asking her about trying to go with another acting company- she stated she love Breitling and her friends she has made and wants to stay with them. I love that they are very family oriented and get the community involved by bringing in schools and day cares to see their performances.

My daughter has been at Breitling for 8 years. She has grown incredibly not only with her acting skills but also personally. She has made many friends. I love how supporting they have been all these years.
We recently have a cousin arrive from abroad who does not speak English. Breitling has been incredibly welcoming!!! They even offered to sponsor her registration with them. Even though she does not speak English, the staff at Breitling has been nothing but amazing with her and her parents. They have been very patient and accommodating with her. They definitely made her feel part of the group and she loved the experience so much she wants to go back!
She was in The Wizard of Oz recently and was beaming with pride when she was dancing on the stage.
Thank you so much for all you do for the kids. Ms Annie, you and your staff are AMAZING!

My daughter is on her 3rd play with Breitling Youth Theater. She has enjoyed her experiences with Ms Annie and her staff. Ms Annie is great with kids of all acting ability levels from beginners to more experienced. She finds a way for each kid who comes to have a part in her plays. I was very impressed with how the play came together from the beautiful costumes to how well the kids knew their lines! If you want to increase your child's confidence or let them use their dramatic personality in a positive way bring them to Ms Annie!

My son and daughter have been performing with Annie for 3 years and they really enjoy it. They have also taken voice and piano lessons with great results. I love watching them perform and seeing them grow onstage. This has been a wonderful way for them to develop a love for the Fine Arts.

This place is so amazing. Everyone has a wonderful expierience and you really learn a lot! Annie Breitling is an outstanding director and makes everyone feel welcome and makes sure every child gets a part! Alice Frederick is an amazing costume designer and always impresses the audience with her creative and innovative designs for the children's costumes. Jerry Walker is incredibly talented with his marvelous set design as well as the incredible remodeling he did for the theater building. This all culminates to a very welcoming and creative environment!

Our 7 and 4 year old have attended a semester worth of theater classes and have thoroughly enjoyed it! Miss Annie is always friendly with parents! She has a friendly yet firm tone when working with the kiddos and as a parent, I think we need more of that kind of direction instilled in our kiddos. My girls have had the opportunity to learn things like patience (waiting their turn), communication (speaking loudly so the audience can hear you) as well as discipline (when you start something, you have to finish. Even on the long nights or when you don't want to go.)

We reside about 40 minutes away so we are currently debating on whether or not we'll do another semester. If we lived closer, there would be no hesitation on re-signing them for another semester of classes. Miss Annie truly has a great program!
