The TbT Difference - Quotes & Feedback:

"Have I told you all recently how incredibly grateful I am for the Godly and professional environment you have provided for my daughter? She had a really rough start to the week at a dance class where her director tore her down in front of the class... She has been part of the school since she was five, has been a great friend and testimony to people there and has prayed faithfully for the director. But to watch her sob last night and then say she couldn't wait to be at rehearsal tomorrow and Saturday was like a balm to my Mama Bear's soul. Thank you." 

"Our daughter would often comment, 'All the kids there are so nice.' There was a sense of mutual respect and graciousness that came through, both in her remarks and in the behavior we witnessed when we'd drop her off and pick her up from rehearsals. Kids seemed to encourage rather than compete with each other, and that helped to instill not only confidence but grace."

"Opening night was absolutely phenomenal! It was simply stunning! Being new to a full-scale production, we didn't know what to expect. Your production of The Music Man far surpassed any expectations we may have had! The acting, singing, lighting, music....it was all perfect!  I also really loved the decorations outside and the theme related concessions and the raffle basket. It was all very inviting and you could tell that a lot of planning and effort went into it."
