Happy birthday, ! Thank you for all the , all the , and all the .
A little thank you for the great training and experience and discipline in theatre that you gave for both of my grandchildren, Martha & Jasper Willey, during their formative years for a summer "camp".
Miss you all. Love you all. Thank you for a magical summer. Xoxo.
Watching the Conservatory memories fly by my page yesterday and was overcome by how much Wingspan meant to me. I applied for a job as a site director in 2004 and it quite literally changed my life. The years I spent at Conservatory shaped the artist I am now, and the teacher I have become. I learned just as much as the kids I worked with. So thank you Wingspan! Happy Birthday!
Star Cast!
So many Wingspan Arts conservatory memories, but one that stands out seems to sum up the experience. I remember the very first summer when Zoe was cast in The Wiz and remarking how I had never seen her so consistently happy, day after day...I never imagined how many more wonderful summers would follow, filled with so much joy! The memories just keep on coming.
Crying on one of the props from your show that closed last night! This is what I love so about Wingspan Arts!! The bond that forms between these kids in 6 weeks of summer conservatory is like none other I have ever seen. Returning friends, new members, they're all welcomed into this family with open arms. These kids are all amazingly strong, talented, and truly supportive of one another! Bravo Wingspan Arts for building such incredible artists and fine young people!!
CONGRATS ON YOUR 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY !!!! 🍾🎉🍾🎉🍾

Our enduring Wingspan memory:
The very first day ever that our kids arrived at Summer Conservatory, they were greeted at the door by a kid with a lion’s mane of hair whose first words were, “Welcome to the greatest summer of your life!”
Boy, was he right.
Wingspan Arts thank you for three incredible years thus far. Max has truly enjoyed every show and has been around kind, talented young actors. Wingspan Arts is

“Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.”
- Stephen Sondheim
We’ve been trying to find the right words since the devastating news about Sondheim. Ultimately we feel so grateful to have been alive at the same time as this incredible gift to the universe. We thank him for all of his work that has helped us get through this thing called life. And we are so honored that we’ve had the chance to work on some of his pieces over the years. There are certainly giants in the sky now
