As I reflect on my school year, theater will be what I will remember for many years to come. With Charlie Brown, The Addams Family and Charlotte’s Web, I can only say WOW! Watching the ML kids this afternoon, I believe there are even greater things to come…if that is possible.-- Peter Emmons, faculty
The students are just extraordinary & every single one that I interacted with yesterday walks a bit taller because they are a part of something excellent and fun and joyful! -- Scottie Belfi, faculty
So I see more high school theatre than most and ADDAMS FAMILY was amazing. What I really liked was that every ensemble person had a full blown character. So accessible. So funny. Such a good vehicle for the kids. Big congrats on its success and big congrats on being on the other side of it! Our [son] continues to find comradery and a sense of place in the theatre there at Galloway and for that I am beyond grateful to you and the school.--Mike Schleifer (parent)
What a wonderful show. Every part of it. I am so glad you are there and I can truly say you have changed [her] and probably many more kid’s lives with this big, fun, sweet show. If she never does another show, the confidence she will take from this will be with her forever. As her father I was proud, but as a fellow performer I was watching someone who was in total control of her voice, her role and her timing. I don’t think she gets there without your guidance, but I can’t wait to see where it takes her.-- Mike Schatz, parent
