TESTIMONIAL
"Stephanie Lazenby helped my entire class imagine, improvise and write a class play set in Revolutionary War times. Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious to kids! Her theater expertise offers the opportunity for kids to have fun but it also grants them permission to be someone else for a little while. I saw a shy, quiet student become a bossy know-it-all for a time, and she loved it!”

I’ve enjoyed this class so much. It feels so good -and terrifying- to have the butterflies again
Stephanie Lazenby is an excellent instructor, who fostered a collaborative and supportive atmosphere. Her dynamic, fun, and insightful teaching style helped me feel safe when I stretched wildly out of my comfort zone. I learned so much, and I had a fabulous time too. I recommend this class highly.
