At first my son was hesitant
to be so far away from his family in Tucson, Arizona to attend the
Theatre Arts Camp in Queens, NY. However when we arrived at the
camp, at the age of 13, I could see that he was already hooked within
the first 10 minutes. He never missed one day of camp and came
home every day excited to share what he had
learned that day. Each day was a new experience that he was
eagerly ready to share with anyone that would listen. He made
friends that he has already made plans with in the summer of 2005!
Although tired from a rigorous day of hard work in acting, dancing and
working with other professionals in the field, he went back eagerly
every day to learn more. I can't say enough positive comments
about this program, it is an adventure my son and myself will never
forget! The performance was incredible, I was amazed at how hard
these young performers had worked and were able to put together within 19 days
time. I can't wait for the 2005 production! I can't think of
a better way for students to learn about the field of
entertainment and the discipline that needs to take place to acquire
your dreams!

What we really valued
about your program is that your teachers were very professional and
imparted a sense of what it's like to be a performer - the discipline
and the fun. They were good role models. Paloma enjoyed every
moment of every day (2004) and I think she really learned a lot. In her
previous summer programs (Los Angles) she also had a lot of
fun, and the staff were equally caring and supportive but they didn't
have the range of experience that your staff had. I was also impressed
at how well organized and thought-out your program was for each of the
age groups. And while I usually prefer to see musicals to be
performed in their entirety, as opposed to the variety show format, I was
won over by your approach to teaching the kids how to be part of a
chorus.

The Theatre Arts Center is a wonderful place for students to
learn about the performing arts. It is a nurturing environment that
promotes insight and education into the exciting world of theatre, dance
and related arts, as well as positive social skills. What could be
better than to see a young talent who has gained confidence, surprised
themselves with their newfound ability and celebrating the joys of
theatre arts and performing? All of this is possible due to the
hardworking and caring Directors--Kristine Lewis and Robert Laconi. I
am proud to be part of this fine and well-run operation.

Kids from Theatre Arts
Center know how to work and rehearse. That's why when I'm putting
together a show, 90% of my cast comes from TAC! [That's
What Kids Do starred many TAC students.]

I just want to say how much
fun I had over the summer at the Ensemble workshop, and I want to thank
you very much for giving me the opportunity to go to New York and work
with wonderful actors. I have learned a lot from you.

Working with the
enthusiastic young performers at the Theatre Arts Center was a
pleasure from start to finish.
Peter Morris
Professional Director & Playwright
I have been a music educator
for 28 years and have worked with hundreds of students and theatrical
programs. I was very impressed with the professionalism and dedication
of everyone involved with the Theatre Arts Center. The students
at the summer program received high level, age appropriate musical,
theater and dance training. It was especially thrilling to see my own
son performing with the troupe at the diverse venues provided by the
directors. It was a great experience for all of the students. I highly
recommend the Theatre Arts Center summer program to any students
who have a strong desire to perform.

It is an excellent program.
Not only were we taught by professionals, but we were surrounded by a
positive atmosphere that helped us aspire to become the best performers
we could be.

I just had to write you to
tell you how much we as a family enjoyed your performances at the
Bristol Riverside Theatre. The students did a wonderful job
thanks to their great teachers. Thanks so much for being so open
with your incredible school to a child who loves to sing, dance and
act. You have given her a great opportunity to do what she loves
to do, with amazingly talented teachers. Thanks for your talent, your kind teaching style, and for the
loads of laughter!

returning in the fall.
