“Wow! This class was an unexpected joy! When I first signed my son up, I was concerned that he would be hesitant to embrace “the stage”. However, Melissa has such an enthusiastic yet gentle way of guiding the actors that, by the end of the session, my son was begging to be signed up for the next season. This kid went from saying he was afraid of speaking in public to belting out scenes from Greek plays as Medusa or Zues. His public speaking skills have improved tremendously thanks to the encouragement he felt while acting. Needless to say, my other children have followed suit and are taking this class as well, and loving it!

“Taking Theater Classes at Sunnyfield Studio gave me the space to discover my love of acting and creative directing. It was a core part of my childhood from ages 3-12 and something I think all children should experience and enjoy.”

“Theater of Myths and Tales was a terrific time for our daughters to explore and enjoy some great classic stories, make scenery and costumes, learn about character development, and really embrace their creativity. Our family thoroughly enjoys watching the plays presented at the last class!”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Melissa Duda for many, many years. She is not only a talented improvisational dancer, but is an inspired teacher! Every child and adult who enters her studio will be enriched by her generosity of spirit, enthusiasm and unbelievable energy! In Sunnyfield Studio she has created a place to play, create, learn, celebrate, make new friends and share the fun of exploring mind, body, and spirit! Thank you for all you give! As a mother and teacher of children, I highly recommend that families and children come to Sunnyfield Studio!”
