*Fairmount Performing Arts Camp [FPAC] TESTIMONIALS FROM SUMMER '08*
FPAC really changed my life. I met so many amazing people and I learned so
much. I gained a confidence in myself and in my performing abilities that I
could not have gotten anywhere else. The best performing arts camp for
sure! So professional and educational, but incredibly fun at the same time!
Every class helps and it supports every aspect of performance. I learned so
much from CP (Carol Pribble) and Mitchell (Fields) in Scene Study that I
couldn't have learned anywhere else – so much like a college class! I am
now ready for college and professional theatre. "Joseph" was superb – love,
love, love! Such a great cast and the whole rehearsal process was not only
fun and rewarding, but it was also extremely professional. Best youth
production … EVER!! Improv was so much fun and helped my acting immensely. I
really love everything FPAC has to offer. Amazing, amazing, amazing!
*Carly Gordon – FPAC '08*
Superb. This camp helped me grow so much. The staff is absolutely amazing! The
only problem is that it is too short.
*Brandon Jackson – FPAC '08
*I'm pretty much in love with this camp. J It's so addicting! Can't get
enough of it and the training is just so fabulous! Every year for five
years I fill out these evaluation forms and every year I explain the
wonderful feeling I get at this camp! Immensely improving has become an
annual cycle that occurs over the summer when attending FPAC. The staff
could not be better. They each work with you to help your acting skills
100%. Each teacher fixes your weak points and emphasizes your high points.
Words cannot even describe them! They are just amazing. J OMG! I seriously
am so enthusiastic about scene study class that I'm jumping up and down
right now! Scenes are chosen specifically for each actor to help them! Improv
is so much fun! Being that Shakespeare is a weak point for most teenaged
aspiring actors, I felt that this class was a brilliant introduction to it –
George rocked! Christianne was a great and PATIENT dance teacher. "Joseph"
was a blast! I wish it were longer – I hate it when this camp ends.
*Meghan Grover – FPAC '04, '05, '06, '07 & '08
*FPAC has furthered me by great strides as an actor. The staff of FPAC are
by far the best I've ever worked with! I had so much fun in Scene
Study. Improv
– this was probably my favorite of all – I learned so much!! I loved the
dance program. Christianne Beffel is awesome! I loved the overnight!
*Nick Hyland – FPAC '08
*Phenomenal! Learned a ton. I don't know how FPAC could be better. So
helpful in every aspect – dance, acting and singing. The staff is so
knowledgeable about what they teach – inspiring. Scene Study is incredible!
I love the staff! Musical Theatre flex time ROCKS – I went everyday.
*Jillian Mesaros – FPAC '06, '07 and '08
*FPAC improved my abilities 110%. The staff is amazing and
professional. "Joseph"
was a new experience as my first professional show. I got deep into the
character and learned so much. All teenagers in theatre should go to FPAC. CP
and Mitchell – I learned so much from both of them. George definitely knows
how to make Shakespeare fun and understandable.
*Jesse Markowitz – FPAC '08
*GREAT! Wonderful. Learned immense amounts from CP and Mitchell. LOVED
Improv. So fun - helpful too. "Joseph" – staff and performances great.
*AJ Abelman – FPAC '04 & '08*

thought possible. I loved it so much I did 2 sessions. Amazing staff. I
Iearned a lot about studying my character. It was also fun. I loved Musical
Theatre scene study. Improv was amazingly fun. "Go Big C" – Christianne
challenged us in dance so I learned a lot. "Joseph" – Great process – the
staff is the best – it couldn't be better. LOVED "JOSEPH" AND "R AND J." I
wish the camp was year round because I learned so much.
*Tia Karaplis – FPAC '08*

Shakespeare and Improv and a little dance and singing. The staff totally
rocked. They really knew a lot about working scenes. I loved dance. It
really helps with auditioning for musical theatre. I loved showing my
parents all my hard work on visitation day. "Joseph" – the best cast and
crew ever! Can camp be longer? 4 weeks?

that it wasn't long enough! Great staff, they really helped us!!! I had

loved Mitchell's improv class. REALLY helped us with musical theatre
auditions. Dance was great – good challenge. Length of day = good / session

recommend this camp to anyone! I look forward to next year!
