Reviews from Class participants:

"I watched the video they made in class last week. Stephanie had the kids slating and doing profiles.  I could see how far Aaron came from her first shot of him to the last. She successfully kept on Aaron till he looked comfortable and crisp in that one task. It is funny because it seems like such an easy thing to do, but it is not. You have to look like it is second nature and put forth personality into it as well. The camera does not lie. I applaud Stephanie for the way she handled that lesson. I know Aaron will benefit greatly from the whole class."
--Meryl, mom of young actor

"Amy absolutely loved the TTG Improv Camp for young actors. ... I asked Amy everyday what she did ... She said she was challenged and enjoyed every minute of camp. Amy also enjoyed Stephanie, their coach/teacher, who I felt, truly connected with the kids. That was apparent on Friday at the end-of-the-week show. I loved watching the kids perform and Stephanie's interaction with them. I'm certain you will see Amy again at one of TTG's workshops!"
