FPAC has given me the best training possible through a vast amount of well taught and structured classes. All the people I have met here are extremely talented and are friends I know I will have for a lifetime.
Gabriel Brown

SUPERB! I wouldn't pick anywhere else to spend my summer! All the staff are incredibly talented people willing to help you and befriend you. Mitchell Fields has wonderful ideas and makes you feel at home. He's taught me so much. In the productions, everyone has so much talent! I learn by watching them. I've taken the skills I've learned at the training into rehearsal.
Maddie Small

FPAC is a family and I have never been with such a professional program before. The instructors became my friends and they were wonderful throughout the process. It was wonderful! Love all the staff! Everyone is talented or been in the biz, so they are wise to what we are going through. Bebe and Melissa are a wonderful team. I enjoyed every dance lesson. Lara and Bob had different takes on acting and reacting and I'm glad I got to work with both of them. Sean and David were a blast! Les Miz is one of my favorite scores, but to be a part of a cast that spends so much time together, never fights, and acts as professionals, as a privilege – Les Miz – an experience I will always remember.

Dear Fred,
For a long while I have been meaning to thank you for the wonderful recommendation you wrote me for Interlochen. Things have been extremely chaotic and busy since the start of school so I haven't had the time to really thank you for everything you have done for me these past couple years. Without FPAC I guarantee I would not be at Interlochen right now. FPAC has given me so much more than just a fun summer experience. It has given me the tools and techniques to develop a character, analyze a script and stand out in my auditions. All the training FPAC has provided me has given me such an advantage over others my age and none of it would have been possible without your guidance. I will forever be grateful for the world of theatre that you opened up for me. You not only allowed me to take control of my passion and begin sculpting it, but you provided a nurturing environment with incredible teachers to help me with the process. The training I have received from you will be with me forever. I just wanted to take this brief message to let you know that I appreciate you always being on my side and I will never take my training for granted. Please keep in touch and best of luck with your upcoming season!
Billy Lawrence

Mitchell Fields is awesome – love him. SUPERB program.
Madeline Kranz

Thanks to Sarahlynne, Fred, David and Bebe for making this one of the most rewarding experiences for Lauryn, and no doubt, the entire cast of Les Miz!  She has had so much fun, and is truly in her element.  She has learned and grown so much in this short time.  The show is amazing, so moving and extremely professional!  I consider it an honor that you have allowed her to participate and look forward to her participation in the Professional Training Program!  FPAC is wonderful!
Gina Hobbs, Lauryn Hobbs mother

Not only are the productions that are presented by FPAC of an astounding quality and a level of professionalism that rivals the most celebrated theatre organizations in Northeast Ohio, but the direction and instruction that the performers and stage crew--especially those under the age of 18-- receive from Mr. Sternfeld and his staff is invaluable.  Those artists who become a part of the FPAC family truly learn to hone their skills and develop a passion, respect and love for the theatre that is so evident in their performances.  The absolute power of such productions as the Ohio premiere of "13: The Musical" and "Les Miserables: School Edition" is undeniable as the audiences are moved, lifted, and inspired to such a degree that they soon forget they are watching children perform in community theatre.  That is because they are extraordinarily talented artists who receive sound instruction from Mr. Sternfeld and his team.  They are not "kids performing in a little community show"...they are ACTORS performing at an astoundingly professional level that the audiences become fully engaged in the storytelling and moved to such a degree that can only be described as "haunting" in the best way...in the way that the (emotional) experience of seeing the productions stays with them for a very long time.  The experiences and lessons these young actors learn from FPAC will undoubtedly remain with them throughout their lives.

Take care, Fred.

Thank you for giving my children . . . all these children . . . the opportunity to be a part of this extraordinary theatre experience.  As an audience member several times I was transported, each time as if it were the first.  These kids are wonderful artists.  The show was breathtaking.
Sheri Martini

Thank you to Fred for a fabulous show !!! The girls enjoyed camp and the show so, so, so much.  Many new friendships! Thanks..
Kristin Nelson

I am humming songs in my head and have been since walking out of the show on Sunday - continually at work I hum away Les Miz tunes...what a triumph for such talented youth and for Adam to be part of the show was a wonderful gift. Thanks again, Fred!  I heard Adam telling a friend that she MUST do an FPAC show next summer - thank goodness, as you mentioned, that finally after 5 summers Adam decided to perform in an FPAC show and what a wonderful summer to choose. Take care, Fred.

Siobhan Carroll

I will always appreciate what the staff of 2011 FPAC have taught me. Acting is a passion that I take seriously. Since my first summer at FPAC in 2009 and now again this summer I learned a lot and really enjoyed it. I am so thankful for the staff. They have made each day into something great. I learned things every day despite having been here before. Sean Szaller is humble, but very talented and David Robeano is also great and talented. Bob Russell and Lara Mielcarek taught me so much and helped me to grow. David and Sean are just fantastic because they treat us as though we are adults and are really straight up about things. They also are funny, supportive and helpful. Bob helped me with my confidence and acting ability as did Lara. Bob is so supportive and funny and taught me so much – he is amazing and left me with much more insight about myself and acting. Lara is fun, caring and someone who encouraged me to continue to grow. Les Miserables is so amazing. This show brought many to tears and gave me chills. The production is beyond fantastic.
Amiele Goldrich

Mitchell was so helpful and it was great. SUPERB.

SPECTACULAR! I love FPAC! I thought it was wonderful! I can't wait to come back for 3rd session! I am convinced this is the best program in Cleveland. Teachers are amazing! I learned more in these 3 weeks than I ever knew possible and I will really be able to apply it to my work! Bob really knew how to push us to be our best. I loved music class! It was so fun and helpful! I love dance and Bebe is AMAZING! I can't wait for the dance specialty 3rd session! SUPERB! The best theatre program I have ever done. I learned so much working in Brodie and the other two productions were awesome!
Clare Snape

I had tons of fun, made new friends and learned so much at the same time! Everyone was so nice and I loved how each instructor had different ways of teaching. I learned so much about what to do and also what not to do in an audition and when you get a scene. Movement was very fun and interesting. I learned how we all have to focus together in order for something to work. Music was so much fun! I love to sing and I learned some songs that I can sing in auditions. LES MIZ WAS AWESOME.

Bob and Lara were both phenomenal to work with in Scene Study. I absolutely LOVED Wendy! She was so chill and knowledgeable. Les Miz – Oh my gosh. I feel so grateful to not only perform in a show that not many young people get to be a part of, but to work with a staff of such a high caliber.

Yay! FPAC!! FPAC has been such a home for me. I've made so many friends that I know I will keep in touch with throughout the school year It also gave me the confidence to get involved with theatre beyond my little sphere of school. I couldn't have imagined that I would love doing dance so full heartedly, but through Bebe and Melissa's instruction I found a niche. I loved being involved in Les Miz – even as a spot op I felt such a sense of community.
Sarah Doody

As my first summer at FPAC, I have sincerely enjoyed every second of my time as a part of the shows, the training and all the fun.
