"From the fantastic Summer Scholarship I received to attend Atlantic Theater Company's teen ensemble program, to the wonderful opportunity you gave me to Apprentice with a professional singer-songwriter during my senior year, to the breathtaking building that my high school calls its new home, ETA has really changed my life for the better. And now this College Scholarship to study at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, which seemed a mere dream to me a few months ago... I cannot thank you enough for your incredible generosity!"

"This program gave Eddie, the student I work with, a real sense of accomplishment and pride. He is very excited about his growth as a flutist. The stipend money Eddie received from your program was also a huge help, because he needed to buy a metronome, tuner, and sheet music to better prepare for his college auditions. He has since been accepted and offered a full scholarship, thus changing the course of his life! This program was an incredible, invaluable opportunity for him."

"Thank you for providing my student, Jeffrey, with a Scholarship to attend School of American Ballet last summer. I am so thrilled with his technical improvement, but it is his self-confidence that is really transformed."

"What I really love about ETA is that they don't just give us funding, but they really care and want to know what we're doing. They're here all the time visiting our classes. That's important to me as a school leader and educator."

"Thank you for the new piano! We are overjoyed. Its beauty makes our kids feel cared about and special, and it has already increased the intonation level of our singers.

"Participating in ETA's program with an Apprenticeship at Epic Theatre Ensemble influenced me in my social, personal, and artistic life. I now have tons of confidence on stage and off stage. I found myself and feel more powerful as a person."

"Thank you for helping fund Professional Development for our music teachers to help enhance their artistic technique and classroom instruction. We just finished our first P.D. session and the staff members were so engaged that they stayed well after the scheduled hour to ask questions and further the conversation. I could not resist sharing with you our enthusiasm, excitement, and appreciation!"
