LATTE Theater (La Grange Area Teen Theater Ensemble) - La Grange Park, Illinois

Latte theater is a great place for growth. After moving here from out of state with a shy introverted child, Latte has helped him gain confidence and self esteem, not to mention a great group of friends! The work that is put into each production by these teens and their director Mrs. PFluger, is such a learning experience. They are pushed in ways they may have thought impossible and all bond in the process. As a parent it’s amazing to see these plays come to fruition, and the sense of pride and accomplishment these kids feel are valuable life lessons. BRAVO!!

I first saw The Diary of Anne Frank with LATTE and was blown away! I was immediately drawn into Anne's world and mesmerized by the show. After the show was over, the director, Felicia Pfluger, did an exercise where she encouraged everyone to, "take off," the character. I cannot say enough good things about this program! Felicia has a true talent to teach, train and educate her participants. She will adjust a script to meet the needs of a current cast, deep-dive into time period to understand context, invite professional friends to present workshops and more! This program is amazing and I give it 5 stars! Wish I had this while I was growing up.

I've been following this group for years and I deeply enjoy watching the cast members grow in their talents. Everything about the performances is done professionally, from the stage to the sound & lights and of course the kids performing beyond their years. The students develop confidence in this safe, fun, & welcoming environment and the Director, Ms. Felicia, is an experienced guide, mentor and counselor.

Latte was exactly what our teen needed during Covid and all the closures. They met virtually multiple times a times a week (meets vary depending on what programs you sign up for) and were able to build friendships. It helped build confidence and self-expression in a healthy way. Mrs. Pfluger has a heart of gold and genuinely cares for the group and their families. If you are looking for a theater group to enroll your child in, I highly recommend Latte.

This is an incredible place for teens to learn about theatre and grow, emotionally and socially. The primary director and teacher is one of the nicest, kindest, most encouraging person you will ever meet. She's like a second mother to so many of the youth that participate in these classes and plays. The quality of education and the high expectations on teamwork and positive reinforcement and personal accountability will be a great asset to your child's growth.
