Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful impact that you, your staff, and the Music & Theatre Troupe program have had on Eleanor.  Eleanor started at the age of 6 in the Mini Theatre Troupe and now, as an 11-year-old, she is more enthusiastic with every show.  In fact, yesterday when the final show concluded and we were having dinner, she said “I wish we could perform again tomorrow”.

 

I have watched Eleanor transform in ways I never thought possible, and I credit this growth entirely to your dedication, mentorship, and the inclusive environment you have built for all of your students.  Through you and your amazing team’s guidance, she did not just learn how to act, sing, or project her voice; she learned how to believe in herself.

 

Eleanor still remembers singing her first solo, “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” at the age of 7 in front of an (almost) sold out crowd!  That’s how she tells the story.  Her favorite performance is still playing “Annie” as an 8-year-old, but she loves every show and being on stage performing.

 

Thank you for your tireless energy, your passion for arts education, and for investing so deeply in the character of our children. You are not just teaching theatre; you are shaping lives.
