“Having seen the student’s presentations in dance, acting, movement, singing and audition techniques, I can attest to the professional quality of their training and degree of polish that is expected from them. I recommend the The Musical Theatre Lab without hesitation.”

- James Lapine, Playwright and Director

“The Vineyard Arts Project summer program has the highest standards, yet maintains an intimacy that makes each student feel seen and nurtured. The individual attention students receive leads to superior growth in a relatively short time. I was tremendously impressed with the instruction and the caliber of the student performers.”

- Kaf Warman, Professor, Carnegie Mellon School of Drama
