<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#3333ff">
For a long while I have been meaning to thank you for the wonderful
recommendation you wrote me for Interlochen. Things have been extremely chaotic
and busy since the start of school so I haven't had the time to really thank
you for everything you have done for me these past couple years. Without FPAC I
guarantee I would not be at Interlochen right now. FPAC has given me so much more
than just a fun summer experience. It has given me the tools and techniques to
develop a character, analyze a script and stand out in my auditions. All the
training FPAC has provided me has given me such an advantage over others my age
and none of it would have been possible without your guidance. I will forever
be grateful for the world of theatre that you opened up for me. You not only
allowed me to take control of my passion and begin sculpting it, but you
provided a nurturing environment with incredible teachers to help me with the
process. The training I have received from you will be with me forever. I just
wanted to take this brief message to let you know that I appreciate you always
being on my side and I will never take my training for granted. Please keep in
touch and best of luck with your upcoming season!</font><br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#990000">

Thanks to Sarahlynne, Fred, David and Bebe for making this one of the most
rewarding experiences for Lauryn, and no doubt, the entire cast of Les Miz!
She has had so much fun, and is truly in her element. She has learned and
grown so much in this short time. The show is amazing, so moving and
extremely professional! I consider it an honor that you have allowed her
to participate and look forward to her participation in the Professional
Training Program! FPAC is wonderful!</font><br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#990000">

Not only are the productions that are presented by FPAC of an astounding
quality and a level of professionalism that rivals the most celebrated theatre
organizations in Northeast Ohio, but the direction and instruction that the
performers and stage crew--especially those under the age of 18-- receive from
Mr. Sternfeld and his staff is invaluable. Those artists who become a
part of the FPAC family truly learn to hone their skills and develop a passion,
respect and love for the theatre that is so evident in their perfomances.
The absolute power of such productions as the Ohio premiere of "13: The
Musical" and "Les Miserables: School Edition" is undeniable as
the audiences are moved, lifted, and inspired to such a degree that they soon
forget they are watching children perform in community theatre. That is
because they are extraordinarily talented artists who receive sound instruction
from Mr. Sternfeld and his team. They are not "kids performing in a
little community show"...they are ACTORS performing at an astoundingly
professional level that the audiences become fully engaged in the storytelling
and moved to such a degree that can only be described as "haunting"
in the best way...in the way that the (emotional) experience of seeing the
productions stays with them for a very long time. The experiences and
lessons these young actors learn from FPAC will undoubtedly remain with them
throughout their lives.</font><br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#990000">

Thank you for giving my children . . . all these children . . . the
opportunity to be a part of this extraordinary theatre experience. As an
audience member several times I was transported, each time as if it were the
first. These kids are wonderful artists. The show was
breathtaking.</font><br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#990000">

I am humming songs in my head and have been since walking out of the show on
Sunday - continually at work I hum away Les Miz tunes...what a triumph for
such talented youth and for Adam to be part of the show was a wonderful
gift. Thanks again, Fred! I heard Adam telling a friend that she MUST do
an FPAC show next summer - thank goodness, as you mentioned, that finally after
5 summers Adam decided to perform in an FPAC show and what a wonderful summer
to choose.</font><br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#3333ff">
