Parent Testimonials

“We want to express our deepest appreciation for allowing our daughter to be a part of your summer apprentice program.  We were especially impressed with the learning environment that she encountered through the relationships that she developed with the Equity actors and production staff.”

~Kent and Alice Patton (Parents of Allie Patton, Apprentice Class of ’08)

“I wanted to personally thank each and every one of you for the opportunity afforded my son this summer.  I looked forward to James’ calls updating me on the happenings at the Rock.  At times he sounded so exhausted but he was so happy and contented.  He loved every minute of it.  What more could I have asked?  For sure, one of the best investments I have ever made in his life.”

~Jane Wells (Mother of James Wells, Apprentice Class of ’09 and ’10)

Apprentice Testimonials

“I feel so honored to be apart of this Apprentice class.  I’m going to really miss bonding time at the Hunter House and Midnight Studio hysteria.  Thank you for allowing me to spend my summer at this magical place.  I will leave with new Knowledge and new friends.”

~Ginna Claire Mason (Apprentice Class of ’11)

“I know that this summer really has propelled me to do so well this year. I just wanted to take the time to thank you guys for giving me the opportunity you did this summer, it truly was a life/career changing experience and has taught me, upon many other things to be a much more focused actor and performer. My teachers all this semester have noticed how much I have grown and I know it’s all because of the incredible training I received at Flat Rock this summer!”

~Cornelius Davis (Apprentice Class of ’11)

“This has been the most incredibly rewarding summer of my life.  I am so proud of the work I have done, both with crews and on stage.  I feel as though I am leaving here a more mature, independent, and confident person.  I feel more prepared for the year ahead and for any theatre or life experience that comes my way.  Wherever I go and whatever I do, I will carry with me what I have learned here.

~Adam Kaplan (Apprentice ’09 and ’11)

“…All of this is to say that I couldn’t have done any of this if it wasn’t for the support that I got from everyone at Flat Rock.  It was the toughest and most rewarding summer of my life.  It seriously sparked a change in me and I know that my life as an artist will be better because of it.”

~Kelli Winn (Apprentice ’09)
