“I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the professionalism, caring and overall great experience you provide for the kids.  I have seen many performances over the years that my kids have been in and you did in one week what most programs cannot accomplish in months!  Our daughter had a fantastic time and can’t wait to see you next time. Thanks again for everything!” R. Swartzburg (parent)
“Congratulations to you and the team of Playhouse! You've been super professional since the very beginning, and attentive, and sensitive, and patient, and made it all PERFECT!!! Our daughter had a really great time!! She said she will never forget this experience!!” P. Broilo (parent)
