“JDP is the best place! As soon as you walk in your greeted by smiles. Everyone there is so hardworking to make us look our best on stage. JDP helped me get over my fear of stage fright and truly helped me discover an even deeper love for theatre. They make these shows look so professional and will work day and night making sure everything looks amazing.”
“My daughter and I have been to multiple productions put on by JDP and they never disappoint. The actors are talented, the costumes and sets are beautiful, and we’re always entertained. We’ve also done private piano lessons through them and my daughter can now read music and play. She loved her instructor and looked forward to each session. Everything they do is wonderful, from their shows to their lessons to their pumpkin patch fundraiser. 5 stars is truly deserved.”
“I have worked with many theater companies and none have made me feel more at home than JDP. They appreciate and care about every one of their performers and have one of the most accepting and wonderful environments to be in. The crew is fantastic and kind and they run a very professional company. A company who cares about its actors and listens to them. A company that is dedicated to make wonderful productions and showcase the talent of Rhode Island. Every production is better than the last because they are also dedicated to grow as a company and become even better than they are. Every show I do with them hold lifelong happy memories. The time I’ve had at JDP has been wonderful and I have found my second family with them. I will be staying with JDP for years to come :)”
“An amazing theatre company who not only encourages hard work and determination but also cares deeply about their kids. Highly recommended!”
“JDP Theatre is an instrumental part of the community in theatre. They have always gone above and beyond for their cast, staff, and families. I can’t say enough about this company.”
“JDP Theatre Company is an amazing company for children. They are a very well run organization, the staff and owners are extremely respectful and they have all the classes and private lessons im looking for! My children have done multiple classes and shows there and they LOVE it!”
“I’ve always worked for directors, but never with them. This was the first production we’ve ever done that we actually felt like we were a part of.”
“Amazing RI based theater that provides a sense of community and ownership to all of those who participate and attend shows. Great quality of production!! I proudly support JDP and couldn’t be more proud of the company and those involved.”
“The JDP team is extremely professional in all aspects of theatre production and education. They combine years of experience with vibrant energy to put on fantastic classes, riveting dramas and spectacular musicals. My children have thoroughly enjoyed working with this fun and supportive group. And the shows are absolutely AMAZING!”
“I have worked with dozens of theater companies all over New England and none of them could compare to JDP. JDP is one of the most professional and welcoming theater groups I have ever worked with. The entire team behind the scenes work tirelessly to make sure that everyone looks clean and beautiful for their productions. Their kind and friendly nature creates a warm environment for people with any kind of theatrical background to be comfortable and grow with the craft. The directing team is magnificent and brings some thing special to every show. The costumes never disappoint with their Broadway like glitz and glam. JDP really is the Broadway of Rhode Island. I seriously could not recommend this theater company enough. If you have the opportunity to even audition for the lovely people at JDP, you should take it and feel the magic that we all do.”
“This was the first company that I’ve worked with since I stopped doing shows about four years ago. I did not know anyone here when first auditioning, not even the crew. I have never had more fun while putting together a production and I have never felt more comfortable and accepted anywhere before JDP. This company was very hard working, educational and professional. I will definitely be returning to JDP and I would suggest this company to anyone that would like to make their debut, find a new company or get back on stage after awhile of not doing any productions. Loved shrek the musical, loved the cast and loved the director and the other crew!!”
“SO impressed with the JDP company- it was so professionally organized and taught- I am a union actor and moved here from NYC and it was as good as anything else I’ve seen. wow.”
“JDP has one of the most professional, kind, and generous creative teams I have ever worked with. They pride themselves on working together and as a team and that behavior and dedication reflects in their performers and performances. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to get involved in theater.”
“JDP Theatre company exposes children to the arts and open their minds to a world they hadn’t seen before. 15+ years later the leaders of this theater company still have a profound impact on who I am today.”
“Love JDP Theatre and their programming for my pre-teen and teenagers! Their productions and classes are always top notch!”
“Our 18-year old has done shows with dozens of other community theatre companies in RI, but JDP has been the best by far! They are proof that an organization (and still a fairly new one, at that) can provide extremely high-quality theatre experiences in an environment that is ethical, fair, positive, and supportive at the same time.”
“A phenomenal theatre program run by hard working, passionate, and highly qualified directors”
“I’ve sent my kids to a ton of different theatre camps and JDP’s is very unique. It is very personalized and they take care of my kids like they are their own. Super affordable and my kids have been having a ball this summer. Highly recommended!”
“JDP Theatre Co. not only produces great, entertaining shows, but also creates an environment where cast and crew members can be comfortable and have fun. Great for audiences and participants alike”
