What families say
“The kids from Woodland Opera House were a definite stand out at this year’s JTF. The group was a well oiled machine and it was clear that they had amazing training from their director and choreographer. It’s important at this age to learn proper technique and it was abundantly clear that the folks at Woodland Opera House are doing just that.” — Jeff Calhoun, Director, Disney’s Newsies on Broadway, JTF West 2024
“It’s clear that their theater program helps create confident young artists who work incredibly well as an ensemble and take pride in their work.” — Rob Rokicki, Broadway Composer of The Lightning Thief, The Percy Jackson Musical, JTF West 2023
