Iowa" recently. Both went in feeling very comfortable
with how they prepared and how they approached their audition from techniques
they learned over the summer. Even though Medina is very competitive at the
high school level, they both walked away with major roles! They
are convinced that how they prepared and the confidence your summer program
gave them proved to be a major difference. I have never responded to how I
personally felt about the program but now I wanted to personally thank you
for an outstanding theater program over this past summer. Our kids, from May
through August, really had an amazing learning experience in both the classes
and in The King and I and Jekyll & Hyde and had an awful a lot of fun! You were
able to bring out their strengths and give them the confidence they need
as they continue in their theater careers. I know it is sometimes hard to
measure how successful a program can be, but I am here to tell you that as
far as two kids from Medina goes, it was the greatest summer and they have
you all to thank for it.<br>
Thanks again, John Husbands (father of Gabby and Collin Husbands)</b></font></span><br><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><b><font color="#ff0000" size="4"><a href="https://www.hb.edu/page.cfm?p=5832&LockSSL=true" target="_blank"><font color="#ff0000">MAKE YOUR ONLINE APPT BY CLICKING HERE</font></a></font></b></div>
