Student & Parent Reviews
“What is special about PTW? Tons of fun and learning, and we get to go and perform in New York at Don’t Tell Mama and get recognized- I met my agent there.”

-Francesca B., East Hanover, NJ
9-year-old PTW Student
“PTW has shaped my life in more ways than I can count. I feel so blessed that my mom found the one school that would not only give me the best training, but also relationships and mentorships that will last a lifetime. PTW is so much more than a theatre school, but rather a home for performers, students and teachers alike.”
-Molly D., Brooklyn, NY
PTW Alumni
“The very first time I did the Don’t Tell Mama showcase, several talent agents called me and wanted me to meet with me. Some of the managers were interested in using me in commercials. Also, the casting director from Nickelodeon called me to audition for them. I got so many opportunities from doing the show. I felt super glad I did it.”
-Jenny O., Clark, NJ
15-year-old PTW Student
“If nothing else, PTW's given a lot of confidence to the kids. It just instills a sense of self-confidence. Brandon went through a really shy period and then all of a sudden he just came out of his shell. It was after he did PTW that he got his first national commercial. And then he got another commercial after that. Then he got this TV series for Disney.”
-Barbara Z., Millburn, NJ
PTW Parent
As an actress, TV Acting/Commercial Acting class is extremely important to me. I learned how to slate, how to audition for commercials, how to properly prepare for anything the casting director might ask me to do during casting. It’s really great for acting auditions.
-Jenny O., Clark, NJ
