Testimonials from Previous Production Programming:
“Mike and I would like to personally thank you Toni, and your AMAZING team on the wonderful production of the Wizard of Oz. Caitlin has always been a “performer” at home, but her experience over the past 10 weeks with all of you has funnelled her passion, and has introduced her to the art of performing. She has loved every single second with the Traveling Stage! As parents, we are so proud of what she has accomplished with you all. Thank you!!”

“We just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work that you put into The Wizard of Oz production. We only have rave reviews for your team and have only heard the same from family and friends. This was definitely no standard public school performance but indeed was a real production. The time you dedicated to this weekend’s performance did not go unnoticed. My daughter was always smiling when she left her acting classes and would sing for hours after coming home. As a mom that’s all we really want, to see our child happy and that she was.”

“I wanted to say congratulations on a superb production of the Wizard of Oz! I was truly amazed at how you and the rest of your crew pulled everything together in just 10 weeks and with 40+ kids. We had friends and relatives attend the shows and they all thought it was fantastic. Aliya absolutely loved being a part of the production. This was her very first time on stage and your Sunday sessions really helped her gain confidence in her singing and her acting. She hopes to continue studying performing arts in high school and this opportunity confirmed her love and passion for the arts. For that, thank you! She is very sad to see that it is over but hopes to return in the near future. Again, thank you! You helped make our little girl shine.”
