In 2007 the Los Angeles Times, called TADA! "one of the nations most distinctive youth theaters." Now we are thrilled to announce that TADA!'s Resident Youth Ensemble Program has won the nations highest distinction, the Coming Up Taller award from the Presidents Committee on the Arts & Humanities.

The Coming Up Taller Awards recognize and support outstanding community arts and humanities programs that celebrate the creativity of young people, and provide them with new learning opportunities and a chance to contribute to their communities. The awards also highlight the contributions that historians, scholars, librarians and visual and performing artists make to families and communities by mentoring children. More than 350 nominations were received by the program in 2007.

"The arts and humanities develop bright young people who will lead our nation in the future," said Adair Margo, Chairman, Presidents Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. "Coming Up Taller recognizes the best of after-school and summer programs that engage youth in music, theatre, dance, photography, history and all kinds of enriching activities that help them realize their full potential as human beings."
