STATEMENTS OF SUPPORT OF THE PRODUCTION
“Congratulations on your Romeo and Juliet! What a beautiful production!. So playful and fun and heartbreaking and devastating all at once. I loved the eclectic use of music! Your actors served you well! What a gifted group. I send my enthusiasm and admiration to you and to them.”

“Everyone felt that the students were given bot the freedom and the guidance to bring all their skills and classwork to a successful process and that within the vision of the production they rose consistently to the heightened language. All the students were working at their full potential, making clear distinctions between multiple characters, committing to the passions and the journey for each of them. I very much appreciated how the show had a style that the actors could rise to and support your vision of the play. Thanks for giving them the space and freedom to explore and use what they've learned here!”
– Angela Vitale, Associate Artistic Director Stella Adler/Director of NYU Program
