“I have received amazing feedback from the event. (‘Behind the Emerald Curtain’) really changed a few kids’ lives. One student even came up afterwards and asked if she could help design costumes for our spring show because she was so inspired!

The most amazing part was making Broadway theater available to students and community members who may never get the chance to see it. Over 250 students and family members came out Wednesday morning and everyone walked out of the gym with a huge smile on their face and a newfound respect for the theater community.”

“Our 92 musical theater students, ages 8-18, loved this program! In addition to having a wonderful time they received valuable information about every aspect of theater. Thank you for creating ‘Behind the Emerald Curtain.’ It’s absolutely incredible, and will be a permanent fixture in our curriculum.”

“The most educational tour in New York, and not just for theatre students....every element learned during ‘Behind the Emerald Curtain’ plays out in the classroom and on stage by theatre students and technicians....you can't beat the exceptional educational aspects of this, the only tour of its kind!”
