Drew is a triple threat student who studies drama, dance and musical theatre with Phoenix and has shown great improvement in recent months.

Emily is a diligent and conscientious student who always approaches her performance with a mature and professional attitude.  This was most recently demonstrated in the role she took in her group performance of The Pied Piper at the recent Phoenix Showcase.  Such is her commitment, that she has recently moved to the second, more advanced drama group on Tuesday evenings.  She is a great student with much potential and I am sure she will continue to flourish.
