Camp Director Fred Sternfeld is very enthusiastic about Carol Pribble's involvment as Associate Director of the Camp: "When Carol first expressed interest in getting involved with the camp before our first season, I was extremely excited. I have seen her high school productions -- her students are well-trained and the productions are high quality -- some of the best high school productions I have ever seen. She has dedicated her career to the education of young people - just the kind of person I was looking for to help me run the professional training at FPAC. CP is an outstanding director and teacher and has mentored many of her interested students to professional careers. Many of her students have gone on to professional careers on Broadway (Wicked, Footloose, Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Miz, Our Town, The Elephant Man, How I Learned to Drive and The Complete Wks. of Shksp), national touring companies, television, repertory theatre and film. We are extremely fortunate to have her outstanding leadership."
