Testimonials “If you want to do theatre, RYC is where you gotta be. It’s the most amazing experience you’ll ever have!” Matt McKay, recipient of the 1st annual RYC Legacy Award “Every single minute has been amazing!” Alessandra Cannito, RYC Performer of the Year "It's the chance of a lifetime!" Shawn Myers, WIZ/GODSPELL Cast Member "Our group thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We were really in awe of the caliber of performers and how well they were trained both as vocalists and actors. It was a pleasure to see how confident they were, how relaxed they all seemed on stage and the great ensemble work was just gratifying for the audience. The kids were enthralled." “The experiences and the friendships and everything I’ve gained from this program I will keep for the rest of my life.” Alexis T. Silvera, RYC Company Member of the Year "As the parent of a 'first time' performer I was amazed at the growth I saw in my son over the course of this experience. He gained skills, yet at all times felt supported and nurtured. I have rarely seen him so consistently enthusiastic about anything that he has done. This was truly a positive experience in every way." "Randolph Young Company was the most fun I have ever had on stage. In this program, I got a taste of what real live theatre was about while still having fun. I also learned a lot!" "Thank you very much for a spectacular achievement with THE WIZ. I could not have imagined a better outcome with the combination of inventive staging, incredible talent, and focused energy. My daughter has grown immeasurably from the discipline." “I haven’t only grown as a performer, but also as a person” Michael Grundland, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL Cast member “RYC has given me the opportunity to shine and do what I love.” Kara Laudi, WIZ/HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL Cast member "Thank you very much for the opportunity to participate in THE WIZ. I had a great time learning and working on my acting, singing and dancing skills, and I made a lot of friends in the process." "You should know that my daughter (an easily distracted 16 year old) was as committed to the success of this production as she has ever been to anything thus far in her life. Even during the 7 hour rehearsals towards the end, she said and I quote, "it may seem like a lot of hours, but it all goes so fast, and we've all bonded." The cast became a "family" and for anyone who hopes to go into musical theatre, the knowledge that this is how it all evolves is heartwarming." "I hope that RYC flourishes in the future because it offers a special opportunity for those who have a passion and commitment for theatre. After school drama programs and community theatre both have an important purpose in providing the training for aspiring actors, whether they want to sing, act, dance or do all three. The Wiz went beyond what my son had previously experienced and RYC has helped him to mature as an actor and as a person. It isn't only about playing a part in front of an audience, it is about commitment, hard work, dedication, interaction with others and personal growth. The RYC adventure made him better at what he loves to do. For that opportunity, you have my sincere thanks." | |||||||||
