“The performers created characters that felt truly authentic to the period of the musical. Their character voices were specific and consistent, and the singing was beautifully balanced. These young performers are learning various theater styles and how to utilize their skills within the context of each,”

It feels like a very incredible, beautiful acknowledgment that I’m on the right path,” —— “I’m beyond honored that I am given this gift to be able to steward these young people in this way, and I don’t ever take that for granted.”

“From the moment The Man in the Chair began his monologue at the top of the show, the audience in the Silver POD was in the palm of his hand. The Nantucket Stage Company’s production of ‘The Drowsy Chaperone Jr.’ entertained and engaged us with their strong vocal work and their stylized choreography. These students understood the period of the piece and demonstrated skill beyond their years in creating the world of the play,”
- Holly Stanfield, JTF Adjudicator and Theatre Educator
