Powered by GoogleMy 6 year old incredibly shy daughter got involved with CAST a few months ago and is being transformed in her confidence on a daily basis. I attribute that to this program. Whether it is getting the kids involved on the stage or in one of the many backstage roles, the CAST director, Jen, pours her everything into the children. She is incredibly talented and has a way with connecting and truly teaching a love of theater. We are so grateful to have found a theater home with CAST.
Absolutely love this wonderful group- the confidence my child has developed and the fun she has had has been the best. We love Ms Jen, Grier, and the whole CAST crew!
I have been watching this group for a couple of years, and in the past year had the opportunity to work a little more closely with them. So many amazingly talented kids! They work hard, but it also takes great teachers helping and supporting to bring out their skills. Ms. Jen loves and lives for theater. Her excitement helps encourage and drive these kids to be their very best. Highly recommend.
My daughter has had the best experience with CAST. After being involved with other theatre programs , I was most impressed with the coaching and development she had working with Jen and Shawn! Shawn took the time to give her vocal exercises and cues that dramatically improved her vocal abilities. She is also smiling and excited about going to practice/rehearsals.
Ms Jen is such an incredible teacher! My daughter has been at CAST since 2020 and has loved every second of it! She has just tested into Talented Theater at Mandeville Middle and her teacher credited Ms Jen for my daughters knowledge of theater. The Talented Art teacher stated that my daughter is on par with the other kids that have been in Talented Art for years, and she credited Ms Jen. Ms Jen allows her students to be themselves and doesn't force them into roles that do not suit their personalities or talents. My daughter feels very at home here and has made life long friends. They all even caravan together to go see movies and plays in the area. Ms Jen is so giving of her time and talents and encourages her students to make their characters their own. I cannot sing Ms Jen's and CASTs praises enough. We consider ourselves blessed to have found such a caring, loving theater family. THANK YOU SO MUCH MS JEN!
