"My two children, ages 13, just completed the Summer Audition Clinic and had a phenomenal time. My son said that the days flew by because of how busy he was and because he was having so much fun. My daughter's deep passion for acting was fed throughout the week and she was very emotional on the morning of her last day of the clinic because she couldn't bear to think it was ending. The showcase on Friday evening showed some amazing talents and I could feel the burning desire within many of the teens."
-BJ Quigley
"My 15 year old daughter has taken a lot of pre- professional workshops and classes throughout the Chicagoland area and the Summer Audition Clinic has been, by far, the highlight of her training experience! Each day, she came home, challenged, stimulated and filled with passion and enthusiasm for the next day! She made new friends who had the same dedication to acting, developed incredible industry contacts and without a doubt, ended up being more sure of herself and more confident as a young actress!
Thank you for such a well thought out, supportive and challenging environment for our teens to grow!!" -Nancy M
