AND SOME TESTIMONIALS  ...
 
I loved camp - I really felt like I  was in a theatre school with classes on 
every aspect of the stage. I learned so  much and I encourage anyone looking 
to prepare for a professional career in  theatre to come to FPAC ! Because of 
camp I feel inspired to take more classes  and learn more.  The 'toolbox' of 
all the new skills & techniques  I learned are so valuable and will surely help 
me with any theatre I do in the  future – thanks for the great experience!  
The teachers are incredible and  each one helped me grow as an actress and a 
person. Thanks!!
Anne Markt 

I learned a ton but yet  I had so much fun! The staff was excellent!  I liked 
how the staff was  older than high school so they knew what they were 
teaching. I liked every  single thing about this camp!  
Dani  Apple

I thought it was amazing. But I do wish that it  was longer. I learned so 
much! And I had a blast. This camp  rocks.
Sara Masterson

Superb. I loved everyone. This camp  has taught me more in three weeks than I 
have learned elsewhere in  years.
Dan O'Neil 

Ya know, FPAC was great this summer and I'm very happy I did it,  especially 
considering the demanding challenges (COLLEGE AUDITIONS!) I  was faced with 
this year. The program is simply ideal for students really  interested in 
theatre as a profession; even those looking to participate as a  hobby. There are 
few educational theatre programs really dedicated to teaching  youth the "real 
deal" and preparing them for what may lie ahead. I've done many  day camp 
programs, none offer the acting training that fpac does. The  professional 
atmosphere alone sets the camp apart from others. I'm excited to  see this program 
grow! I just really wanted to commend you for offering such an  excellent program 
for students. Just my 2 cents, I know you already know it's  fabulous! Thanks 
again so much for the character analysis sheet! Reeeally  helpful!
Halle Morse

David  Ludick has been cast as the understudy for all the male roles in The 
Play House  production of A Christmas Story - 2006. His Dad and I are convinced 
 that his experience at FPAC this past summer catapulted him from community  
theatre to the Cleveland Play House. Thanks so much to you, C.P., Mitchell, 
Sean  and the rest of your staff for such a wonderful learning experience for 
David.  FPAC is well worth the money and time. We'll see you next year!
Dr. Dixie Ludick
I just got cast as Helen in A Christmas Story  at the Cleveland Play House!!  
I used a lot of the things that I learned at  your camp in my audition and am 
sure I couldn't have gotten the part  otherwise.  I  enjoyed your camp a lot 
and plan to attend next  year.   
Naomi  Hill 
I just have to say that this camp was fantastic. I  learned so much and I 
will most definitely use everything I learned at camp in  my acting career. It 
was so much fun! I will do it next year, and hopefully  throughout high school! 
This has been the best camp I have been to. I have  learned so many "tools" 
that I will use in the future ! Thank you!
Emma Schreibman 
We fully expected Fairmount Performing Arts Camp to be  fantastic, under the 
leadership of Fred Sternfeld and his talented staff.  However, our daughter's 
experience far exceeded our expectations. She attended  master classes led by 
some of NE Ohio's top directors and actors, which taught  her new techniques 
for auditions and performance. She could not wait to get  to camp every 
morning. The campers formed such strong bonds over the 3 week  session that their 
goodbyes on the last day were full of tears and  emotions.
Jeff and Carol Wahl, 
parents of Emma  Wahl

Amazing!  Not much that could have been better.  Great!  I improved my acting 
and had fun at the same time.  I will be back next  year. Awesome. This camp 
has helped me and so many others tremendously.  Some of the best training in 
the Cleveland area.
Louie  Rosenbaum

When I auditioned for Fairmount last spring, I  didn't realize what I would 
be getting myself into. I, as well as most of the  other students that attended 
FPAC, have been involved with many theatre camps  over the past few years. 
For all I knew, FPAC could have just been any other  theatre camp. But it 
wasn't. Fairmount was a truly different experience. My time  spent at FPAC was 
extremely beneficial, from the guest artists to the scene  study we did with the 
instructors. Like Halle, I believe that my summer at FPAC  really helped me with 
my college auditions this year, and will continue to help  me throughout the 
rest of my theatre studies. For any student of theatre,  especially ones that 
are trying to pursue it as a career, I can not persuade you  more emphatically 
to attend Fairmount Performing Arts Camp. I am extremely  proud to say that I 
was a part of the first year at FPAC. As far as my college  situation, I have 
been accepted to University of Cincinnati - College  Conservatory of Music, 
University of Michigan, and Point Park College. It has  been an absolutely 
crazy year! Like I said, I really think the things I learned  at FPAC helped me 
out during this extremely stressful fall/winter! Thanks again  Fred for 
everything! 
Alex  Puette 
I learned a lot about acting and  singing. At FPAC, when you sing a song your 
friends join in no matter who they  are in front of.  At school, people look 
at you like you're crazy.  I  have made great friends here – love it.   Wow! 
Amazing – it gets  better every year! I love it!  The staff members that I had 
were  wonderful.  Improv is so important and fun OMG!  CP is very skilled  and 
awesome. Voice and Movement with Arian is awesomely awesome! Totally!   
Definitely coming back.  I had a lot of fun. Superb staff - Sean, Heidi,  David, 
Carol and Fred were cool. Scene Study - lovely. I learned a lot of  important 
things. Fun! Fun! The Overnight? OMG!! That was so fun!
Angie Holecko

SUPERB! It was a great  camp.
Lisandra Stebner

I loved it. If this camp went on  forever I would be so happy. I've learned 
so much and I'm definitely coming back  next year because there'll be so much 
more to learn & more fun to be had  & friends to make and love.
Heather  Farr

The camp is WONDERFUL.  Already, Naomi is learning a lot and  loving it.  The 
instruction is excellent and the prevailing feeling is  really positive and 
supportive.  I see why the program receives such rave  reviews.  
Freda Levinson, 
mother of Naomi  Hill

Awesome! I learn so much! Every year is better than the last! The staff  is 
sooo nice and cool (Great job in 'Barrymore' Mitchell!) So many awesome  
choices. I learned a lot.
Cody Swanson

This past summer at  Fairmount Performing Arts Camp was a wonderful 
experience and I thank you so  much! Now that I have been in college for a semester, I 
am realizing just how  valuable the acting training was at FPAC. I am finding 
that camp has prepared me  more for a career in theatre than many of my 
college classes have. FPAC took  time to critique each individual student in a 
supportive, nurturing  environment. I feel so honored to have gotten the 
opportunity to work with  numerous area professionals last summer, as opposed to the 
same one or two  teachers that are common in the college setting. Looking back, I 
know I really  would have missed out had I not participated in FPAC last 
summer, and I  certainly wouldn't be where I am now in terms of my acting 
capabilities. I think  that FPAC is certainly valuable for any college student who 
wishes to pursue a  career in theatre.
Kelly  Pekar
This was absolutely superb. I  like everything about it. The staff was 
AMAZING and they were all very nice. I  LOVED it.  Flex Time – 1 word – PERFECT.
Adam  Hass-Hill

This  camp has helped me so much.  It's almost been like a second  home to me 
for the last 3 years.  I love FPAC!
Molly  Israel 
This camp is  beyond amazing!!!  I feel that I have learned so much from so  
many brilliant teachers!!  I looked forward to it every  day.  It's like you 
are having so much fun doing what you love  to do, but learning so much! 
Meghan Grover

I wanted to thank you  so much for the wonderful experience I had at camp. 
I'm so thrilled I got to  work with some of the most talented teachers and 
actors in Cleveland. I feel I  have grown so much as an actress. I now have a "tool 
box" that I can use for the  rest of my life. I now feel prepared to walk 
into any audition and know all of  the right things to do. Also, through scene 
study class I learned so much about  not judging your character and making 
strong choices which are both important  skills that I can use for any character I 
ever play. Not only did I learn a lot,  but I also made some of my best 
friends at camp. I went into camp knowing only a  few people and came out with 30 
close friends who I can depend on and talk to  about anything. I wish I was able 
participate in more than just one session,  because these past three weeks 
have been an incredible experience that I will  remember forever.
Sincerely, 
Jane  Larson
