WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE PERFORMING ARTS CONNECTION

"Another wonderful show!!! Thanks for all that you do! Maddie was so happy again this year with her performances. She loves every moment at TPAC. I go on and on...to anyone who will listen to me...about what a 'class act' you run. From your organization down to your interaction with the kids...you and your staff are just simply THE BEST!!! Maddie does MANY activities so trust me when I say THE BEST!! Maddie and I are looking forward to the years ahead with TPAC. I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that you are appreciated and that your hard work stands out..."
- Kim Saart

"Although my daughter is too stricken with self-consciousness to tell you this, she is absolutely thrilled to be a part of Oliver and is very thankful (as we all are) that you encouraged her to join the workshop AND then told her that you NEEDED her when she arrived to audition. That was wonderful of you. You have truly made a special home for her at TPAC, and she looks up to you...what a great thing for her to have in her life right. Thank you for all that you do to make a difference in her life and make her feel that she matters. If only you could give us the secret to keeping the drama contained IN the studio and not IN our home (and our car) day and night!"
- Recent workshop parent

"I just wanted to tell you what an amazing job you have done with all the children in the cast! It is truly a testament both to your excitement, talent and commitment to these children ( as well as your love for the art of the stage), coupled with the kid's admiration of you that can pull a production like this together in a few short weeks."
- Annie, Jr. Workshop Parent

"Thanks for another amazing musical production. [My daughters] have had more fun than you can imagine over these past few weeks. It always amazes me how you work your magic and pull off such wonderful, polished, fun productions with your group of enthusiastic but young and relatively inexperienced kids."
- Annie, Jr. Workshop Parent

"I was unable to appreciate until having completed a performance, the great care you clearly put into constructing assignment of girls to songs, the set list and the order of the set. I can see now that you grouped the girls a bit which facilitated rehearsing as well as performing, and made this pacing possible. You were unfailingly supportive which I really appreciate. We have a great climate as a performing team. Can't wait for more!"
- Encore Season 1 Cast Member

"You help those girls with all kinds of wonderful stuff, but to me one of the best things is the expectation, and thus habit, of being collaborative and supportive. I know that's not everyone's impulse all the time, and sometimes you're pushing against the cultural tide fostering that habit, but what a worthy pursuit... and just look at the result!"
- Max Hall, TPAC parent and FOB Dad

"We just wanted to say thanks and congratulations on a great show yesterday. All of the performers were just fantastic - you and your team did a wonderful job in building their confidence and bringing out the best in everyone. It was fun to watch, and the kids clearly had fun on stage."
- Recent workshop parent

"If talent plus energy still equals star power, [Samantha] might be chasing Barbra Streisand off the Billboard charts in a couple of years."
- Chris Bergeron, Sudbury Town Crier

"Samantha is very patient and supportive of all the children. For the kids, she makes acting like a team sport, where they have a lot of fun but still learn to support each other. It's rare for someone her age to have this kind of passion."
- Lori Kashgegian, parent, as quoted in Sudbury Town Crier

"I am a public school teacher and I truly appreciate your direct, stern manner when dealing with the children and parents... You're a gem."
- Recent workshop parent

WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS TO SAY ABOUT METROWEST FAMILY THEATER & THE FRIENDS OF BROADWAY

"Everybody involved in the show is great. There are no egos. It's just about having fun together and putting on something great."
- Karen Wagner, adult actor, as quoted in Sudbury Town Crier

"The teenage energy positively crackled in every dance number at a [Footloose] rehearsal of the latest Metrowest Family Theater production..."
- Carole LaMond, Sudbury Town Crier

"If you have plans Saturday night, change them. You'll forgive my bossiness the minute the girls appear on stage. 'The girls' are 'The Friends of Broadway' (FOB), an amazingly talented troupe of local young performers."
- Susan Silver, Framingham TAB

"The evening was nothing short of electric; the stage practically exploded from the energy emitted by the 24 performers. I was actually caught off guard by the enormity of their talent and their high level of professionalism, especially given the young ages of the cast members."
- Susan Silver, Framingham TAB
