Thanks again for the opportunity of FPAC. I truly learned a lot and am excited to begin new performance opportunities using what I've learned! This program was extremely good for me. I would definitely recommend this program to other college students. The full time staff was excellent. They are all obviously very talented and well-trained. They are good role models and I learned a lot from them!!!! I learned the most from the one-on-one work with Fred and CP. I learned a LOT from Tom Fulton in just the hour and a half he was here. SUPERB!

Eden Raiz

This camp was an awesome experience. I've taken other camp/classes and those camps didn't really teach me how to act, they just taught their students how to be on stage. This camp actually taught acting in many different forms (i.e. scene study, improv., etc.) Truly Educational!! The staff was very helpful. It was good to experience each teacher b/c each had their own unique techniques & each challenged students in their own way. Awesome. Scene Study class was so much fun! Magdalyn Donnelly was an extremely qualified teacher. She taught and gave excellent direction and knew how to make class unique and pleasant. The music teachers David Williams and Heidi Herczeg were highly qualified. I liked the theory of breathing techniques. Andrew May taught an awesome lesson! Joan Ellison gave an awesome master class on belting - Superb! Overall very educational experience & a fun time, met some good friends.
