Our daughter Olivia, then age 5 and in kindergarten, participated in the after school and summer camps run by Ms. Gianna Capelli in 2019. During the summer, the children also had the opportunity to experience various field trips that tied into the plays, whether it was going to a fly zone to “fly” like the Wicked Witch of the West, or traveling to Blue Room Studio to record music. The plays bolstered Olivia’s confidence and gave her what we hope will be a lifelong love of theatre arts.
