What Our Students Are Saying

“It was obvious how you went above and beyond with this class. You taught them so much about hard work, the importance of practicing, and the behind-the-scenes of musical theater. My daughter loved the idea of developing a show from start to finish.” ~Summer 2020 Musical Theater Arts Parent
