What our schools say...
My daughter loved loved loved every minute of this experience. We are so appreciative and hope we get the chance to do another production next year! The show was sooooooo good!!!! Thank you for giving her such a positive first time theater experience!
Allison G.Collins ElementaryI just want to say a huge THANK YOU for the amazing work with Annie Jr. What an amazing performance and show - my family and I were smiling ear to ear the entire time. Watching my son on stage with a smile was wonderful. He’s already talking about what he can do this summer with acting and next year in middle school. Your staff was truly wonderful each week and he is really going to miss rehearsals!
