Excerpts From E-Mail and Letters about the Performing Arts Youth Collective
As always, it's been a pleasure. Christian had another great run, he truly loves the time he spends with the PAYC and the instructors. He continues to grow and learn. It's wonderful to be able to witness the changes he's undergone since he first started with PAP. Thank you!
My daughter has participated in other programs and this is by far the most organized and professional. I feel that the staff meet her where she is and help her to grow. I highly recommend the Performing Arts Program. I hope that my daughter will have a long relationship with the program.
Andrew has truly enjoyed this program for 3 years now. It's been wonderful seeing him progress throughout the years. He always looks forward to going and has also met some new friends in the program which has been great. Andrew finds Michael Lamb to have a good sense of humor along with being very knowledgeable, teaching him many important aspects of acting/singing. Andrew says that Michael Lamb is "very nice, friendly and easy to talk to."

...We came to you by a strongly biased word of mouth. Until now, quite honestly, I had not taken the time to personally check you out on the web. I took it for granted that you were a "fine " school. Now I know that they are in a GREAT Performing Arts school, and for as long as they have the desire and the willingness my hope is that Kate and Maddy will choose to study at the PAYC under all of the instructors and Micheal Lamb. There obviously is no bottom to the wellspring of wisdom and talent there. Please accept my sincerest thanks
Rebecca
You have a wonderful program and of course we will be continuing it. Thank you so much for your help!
Alyssa
This program, has helped my kid a lot. She looked forward to going and working with all of the exciting people. She enjoyed it, and we would like to Thank Michael Lamb, Carolyn, Mai and the rest of the staff for their ongoing help!!!!!
We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience Hannah had with you and the rest of the group. She truly enjoyed herself and showed her development with your help. We will see you in the fall for voice lessons and she would like to return for the fall program. Please keep me on your list for any new classes. Thanks again, we had a great time last night!
Sincerely, Angela
I intended to write sooner to thank you for such a wonderful performance last week at the Bushnell. We were so impressed with all of the students and guest performer -- and know how this was a culmination of months of really growing and learning for all of your students....I want to thank you for encouraging Grace to work outside her "comfort zone" and not sing this year. She can perform a song on "auto pilot" and we were so pleased to see her develop in an area that is not at all easy and/or natural for her. Singing will always be her first love (with dance as a close second!) -- but it is important for her to learn the craft of acting. It was terrific that you really coached so many of the students to learn and perform in other areas...that's how they grow in confidence and become comfortable taking chances.

Thank you for a wonderful experience and great show! Class act! Catherine had a ball and that was the number one purpose! Plus she learned a lot!

Hi Michael,
Thank YOU. Chelsea had another great year and is looking forward to joining you again in the fall.
Have a wonderful summer.
Best,

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the opportunities you have given my daughter Amanda. Susie and I have nothing but wonderful things to say or feel about the camp and the youth collective that she participated in... Susie and I very much appreciated your influence and attitude toward the young performers. We want Amanda to experience that again.
Rest assured that our family is grateful and will be a client again in the future. Thank you for all your programs and efforts for our daughter and for so many other children as well."

I just just wanted to thank you for a great experience and all the help you gave me with choosing songs and monologues for college auditions. It truly helped and I am very grateful that our paths crossed. I hope to hear from you soon and I will keep in touch. Thanks again!

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the performances Tuesday evening. It really shows how much you love your work - it's cool to see! Thanks for everything, and take care!
Laurie
We were so impressed with the kid's ability to perform solo! Broadway performer was great. Thank you!
Holly
Great job last night. I thought the kids all did a great job. Nice touch to have a Broadway performer there as well - it really showed the focus of the group on process and confidence. Tori was on Cloud 9.
Suzann
Jerilyn thoroughly enjoyed her entire experience with the Youth Collective. Her family absolutely LOVED the end of the year performances ! Thank You !! Blessings, Chris
Sara loved the Youth Collective. We think Mr. Lamb is great and an asset to the program. The assistants were great with the kids too! We loved the mini recital!
Alex had a ball doing the Youth Collective. He absolutely learned a lot and I am hoping he will be able to do this again in the fall.
Our daughter enjoyed the program immensely, and we, as parents, found it to be very well organized! The final show was a real treat, and it is wonderful that all the performers are made to feel comfortable and free to "enjoy performing"! We look forward to next year!
Sal, Lisa & Danielle
