Congratulations to Murph Hickey, one of our busiest instructors,  on a fantastic review!

Review: Dead Siblings Society makes post-Fringe debut at the Gladstone Theatre – Apartment613 Murph Hickey and Nicholas Maillet draw us into a beautifully crafted play that captures the chaos and magic of growing up with siblings alongside the isolating grief that comes with losing them.

The studio is getting a fresh new paint job and it’s already looking amazing! Nothing like a clean, vibrant space to spark creativity and energy. Can’t wait to welcome everyone back into a studio after Easter Weekend!
