Testimonals!

  • From Caregiver

    "The PAYA is an invaluable gift available for families! While our family's circumstances may change for next summer, allowing us to contribute more, we are super grateful to have utilized the PAYA funds available so that our daughter could attend a few sessions this summer."

  • From PST Student

    "I loved how we were treated like professionals in the rehearsal space rather than just high school students. I also loved being introduced to other industry professionals and getting the chance to ask them one-on-one questions."

  • From Caregiver

    "Staff were wonderful, the end-of-the-week performances were fun, and my rising kindergartener had a really amazing first time in this program!!!"

  • From PST Student

    "My experience in this show was possibly the most positive experience I have ever had in any production. I felt so supported, accepted, and allowed to really create. It was a very special experience that I will never forget. I think some things that stuck out to me were the student-created side of it. Everyone really put their all into it, and everyone had a purpose, no matter their role. It was truly the most positive experience I've had in 10 years of musical theater."

  • From Caregiver

    "Thank you for doing what you do! What a delightful camp experience for kids and parents!"

  • From PST Student

    "Everyone was so welcoming and so ready to put their passion into the show. It made me feel compelled to work just as hard as my peers, because I saw how much everyone individually was willing to put in the effort."

  • From Caregiver

    "Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful experience for my son. He is a kid who struggles socially, although all he wants is to be social. He has always struggled to make and keep friends. You provided a welcoming and supportive environment. Your staff saw his good qualities in the midst of his struggles. He told us he never felt like he fit in anywhere like he did at Park Square."

  • From PST Student

    "I loved it so much. I made so many friends and memories. What makes it different from any other theater is that it felt professional and taught me new things."

Make Your Gift on November 19th!
