" The thing I love most about Talented Musical Theatre is the feeling I get when performing on stage. I feel so much warmth and all around happiness when I’m performing on our stage. The bright lights, the anticipation, the feeling of being connected to every single audience member and cast member. It’s the greatest love I’ve ever known. This class has helped me grow by allowing myself to be vulnerable around strangers, friends, and authority figures. I’ve made so many friends from different backgrounds, hobbies, and ages just by being in Talented Music Theatre. Without this program and these teachers, I would be a completely different version of myself. ”
" Talented Musical Theater is like a home. It's a safe place, and you make so many memories there. We have the best time doing SO many fun projects especially the plays even though they can be stressful at times, in the end it's worth it. I have learned so many things, like dancing all types of genres (which is maybe my favorite part), and exploring so many backgrounds of theater I hadn't never heard about. Musical theater is fun and overall is something I think everyone should try!”
"This class has been one of the best things in my life since 1st grade. Ms. Byrd, Mrs. Luedeke, and Mrs. Voelker have taught me SO MUCH about theatre and just life lessons in general that will stick with me for the rest of my life. "
“Theater creates memories like no other. It is exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. I love being able to express myself without the judgement that pulls you down in life. Most of all I love being part of the beginning of the processes, which is a hot mess, to the final product which is the most amazing production ever. This class has helped me grow as a person. I am less scared to express myself in general. I have also made friends that will last me a lifetime."
"I love the environment in Talented Theater. Everyone is very dedicated to our common goal, our spring musical. It is very easy to build strong, meaningful relationships with everyone in the class and create memories that will last a lifetime. The class has helped me grow more confident in front of crowds and believe in my own capabilities. I have learned that I can challenge myself and still be successful. "
"I love everything about talented! The teachers are so helpful and encouraging which is definitely needed in this environment. My classmates are all my friends, and we all have fun doing the things we love! This class has helped me grow as a performer and to be a better person. I’ve been taught people skills, how to react in a situation, and obviously how to perform!"
“One of my favorite things about Talented Theater is the family we have in this class. In this class we are not afraid to mess up, no one laughs when that happens, and we learn from our mistakes. This class has helped me grow in so many ways! I have gained confidence, and I am not afraid to speak in front of crowds anymore! "
