You guys are so wonderful. What you provide for our children is genuinely exceptional. You are all so loving, caring & such professionals. Caroline just loves you all (as do we). You are truly helping to raise my children (when Lily participates) & we will never be able to thank you enough. YOU are all making a huge difference in the lives of so many children here. You may forget sometimes how much you are helping our kids but please don't ever forget the impact you have on children! You enrich our community so very much. You are the voices for kids who love the theater arts!

Colin and Annah,
Thank you both so very much for embracing our children, for giving such an incredible opportunity to our kids and all the kids in the valley. Savina and Vivian absolutely love VPAA and they both seem to blossom even more from show to show.
Thank you for all that you do. The shows, as always, were remarkable. How fortunate we all are.
Many Thanks,
Jennie Longville May
Subject: Great Show!
Message: Annah, Collin and the whole crew, the show this weekend was incredible! Kingston and Marley were not even in it but I still mean this truly from my heart. The talent you have is awesome. All the girls that did solos and trios did an amazing job and the two young men Tanner and his duo partner at the end (sorry can't remember his name) they have great voices. The harmonies, the dancing, the lighting, staging, the whole production was really really good. Something seemed different and I think it was just a different level of talent and production. I don't know what you are doing, but keep up the good work. Nice job!!!
Sincerely,
Jonny "Mogambo" Lindner
