                                             Testimonials

“We are the grandparents and guardians of four girls participating in Olsenarts’ “Music Of My Dream”. It is a very positive situation for the kids. Their being in the show has expanded the children’s horizons, as far as singing, dancing and even speaking. As Guardians, (being humorous): We enjoy getting the kids out of the house every now and then; especially knowing that the girls are in a good place doing a good thing. The OTG is a good experience for the whole family and the play tour is a great outside activity aside from regular school for the children.”      Mr. Glass

 

“My children enjoy it. I like it that my children are getting out and enjoying using the gifts that God gave them. They are working more, and doing better in school. I like it that my kids are starting to practice and study very hard, because they want to do a good job in the show. These qualities are starting to show up in the other areas of their lives, like in school.”      Miss M. Peavy

“I’m beginning to become so proud of Robert. Watching him grow and start to open up to people. In his performance, I see him expressing himself better. It has been a joy to see him become more sociable. Robert has even started to call some of the cast members on a social basis just to talk, and this is a first for him, and very out of character. He is a loner, but now he amazes me. He has become so outgoing; and especially how he speaks and performs in from of crowds and on television. I feel that Robert has matured and progressed. Even his language is better. He has also become more respectable. He was giving me some problems with school, but even those have stopped.”     Ms. Shirley

“I work with Olsenarts Theater Group, and I feel like I am a part of a great work. Working with the theater has been a great joy for our whole family.”  Mrs. S. McCoy
