I cannot say enough about what Curtain Up Studios has meant to my daughter. She has loved every minute of her time working with this wonderful company over the past year. She just finished the Addams family summer camp and had a blast. My family and I were so impressed by the production at the end of the week. She is looking forward to doing two shows this fall and many more to come.
