"The Master Classes really helped me learn how to successfully prepare for auditions and also taught me more about Broadway!" - Lola

"The RBTL master classes are an incredible opportunity to work with experienced actors and meet new people. It is so helpful, whether you are performing or just watching... the critiques that the actor gives are really, really insightful and often applicable to your own work. It is a great way to spend an afternoon and see an amazing show, and it's really cool to see the actor(s) (that you just met) onstage that night! This program is really a very worthwhile experience for anyone interested in theatre." - Gabby

"I liked this class because it wasn't classical ballet (which I already do) but instead was unusual modern dance so I learned new moves. Also, it was fun meeting the person who taught the class and seeing her perform!" - Laura

"The Master classes are really fun and you learn a lot from participating in them." - Courtney

The master class I took was a wonderful experience for me. It was a great learning experience as well. It really opened my eyes to what theater is all about. I enjoyed every bit of it and can't wait to take another class! - Kelly

"It was awesome to dance with the dancers that we watched in the show. It was fun to learn the steps that were used in the dances in the show and to scream when our dancer teacher came on stage." - Sunnie

"I wanted to meet some of the actors as well as perform for them and get feedback. When I got the opportunity to sing, it was awesome. They really helped me develop a style that was more suited to the song. AND I love seeing the shows!! I plan to take these classes whenever possible." - Taylor

"For me, the RBTL Master Classes have been very enlightening. The best part of them (other than the delicious cookies) is how much you learn. Young actors and technicians get to learn so much about the professional aspects of the actors, crew, and staff of a touring company. It is so great to be able to ask questions of the professionals and be respected as artists by them. Also, it's a great opportunity to meet local kids involved in theatre!. I am looking forward to this year's master classes!" - Allie

"I had a great time at the master classes! Being able to talk with some of the performers, eating food, meeting new people, and watching the shows make for a great experience!!" - Alyssa

"The experience my Grandson has had at the Master Classes has been phenomenal, he couldn't get such instruction anywhere else but in NYC".  - Paula

"My experience at the master class for Rent allowed my theatrical skills to grow exponentially! I would be lost in the theatrical world had I not participated." - Ian

"The Master Classes are filled with so much knowledge from the actors to the students. You learn so much in the short amount of time; it seems longer than it really is. Everything included is definitely worth what you pay for the class, and the best part is seeing friends from past shows... Because in Rochester, if you're a theatre kid, it's guaranteed that you will know someone..." - John

"RBTL's Masterclasses are always a fun filled and creative activity. The way they are set up to help you as an individual in the art of music al theatre is amazing. I have always enjoyed hearing what actors who perform as a living have to say about you as a person and the real side of Broadway. They are always a life long learning experience that will be remembered forever." - Ryan

"RBTL Master Class Program is an awesome experience! The hands-on workshops have really helped me to become a better dancer, actor, and has strengthened my love for the theater.I greatly enjoyed RBTL's technical workshops that took me behind the scenes of my favorite shows like Wicked and Spamalot.Meeting all the creative actors, dancers, and stage managers that are actually from the show is inspirational." - Eric
