The staff has taught me to be more professional in auditions, show process, and
performance. I have grown as a singer, actor and dancer in just a few weeks!
Fred Sternfeld and Bob Russell teach you the small things that make your acting
realistic. Very good learning experience. Staff is great!<br>
Brandon Schumacker<br>
<br>
I love this program! This is terrific! Nobody is judged. The teachers are great
and you learn and have fun at the same time. I loved how everyone worked
together. I will come back every year. I
live on the west side and it is worth the drive for sure! The teachers are
amazing! Everything is enjoyable. </span><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Wingdings">J</span><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><br>

I liked the overall program a lot, especially with Fred Sternfeld directing it.

<br>
This is a great program!! It has really helped me. The Musical Theatre focus
was really helpful and introduced me to things that I’ve never heard of that
improved my dancing, singing, and acting in many ways. I would recommend everyone to come to HBTI.
You will have a very fun and exotic experience. I am definitely coming back
next year.<br>
