 "Our daughter started taking drama classes at the Arts School when she was eight years old. She was very shy and not at all confident. But she always came out of class with a huge smile on her face. She had that same smile a few weeks ago when she found out that she made it into the university theatre program that she auditioned for. We wanted to thank you for providing such a positive and life-changing experience for our daughter." – John & Lynn, parents
