​My daughter has grown so much as a result of being part of St. Pete MAD. Every single year she has received superior rating at district and state Thespian Festivals with her school. She gets the leads in her school’s musicals. She would not be where she is without St. Pete MAD​

​Without the St. Pete MAD team, our daughter would not have gotten in to the PCAA performing arts program at Gibbs High School.  All of her St. Pete MAD instructors have been positive influences and built her confidence and skills.

​My son had SO much fun! He was nervous about going to a new camp but by Wednesday, he was waking up early and trying to get out the door early to get to his St. Pete MAD acting camp. You all do such excellent work with these kids and we really appreciate it!

We're back at St. Pete MAD and here to stay. We tried another group because my daughter loved the show they were doing but the experience wasn't even close. Dru and his team have done so much for her confidence and especially her singing.

​We did four weeks of camp with St. Pete MAD at Shorecrest and every week our daughter would say "This is my favorite camp all summer!"  She loved the instructors. We loved watching her confidence grow.

​Our son was in the summer production of Teen Beach Musical and we couldn't believe how much he has improved on stage in only two weeks of rehearsal. It's amazing what the instructors pour into these kiddos.
