Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

Multiple student’s responding to the question: What did you learn?
“I learned how to act in play and I gained confidence in recording my own music . I learned more about improvisation and when I should improvise. I learned how to relate to my character more. I learned how to get into character faster. I learned even if you believe it, you won't die when everybody watches your actingI learned to go out of your comfort zone. I learned how to be comfortable watching myself act. I learned acting is funnnn!”
“Creativity is intelligence having fun!”
-Albert Einstein
