Parent Testimonials

“What you give to children isn’t just about the music and the show, it’s about life.”

The following are exerps from parents who attest to the positive influence Doug and Jeri have had in the lives of their children:

It was such a thrill for me to watch [my daughter] perform...She's always loved the stage, but you achieved your goal of helping her bump it up a notch.  I'm a biased mother, but she was AWESOME!   Even better than that, she had a blast.  Thank you so much for all of your work with her.  Watching your kid improve while having a great time?  What more could a mom ask for?

"I can't possibly begin to express my feelings and thanks for all you do, especially with this show. The extra effort it took onyour part to include so many kids in the event is much appreciated. And I can't possibly thank you enough for the opportunity you gave (my son) - he had the time of his life!"

"My endorsement of Doug Fordyce Productions goes beyond my role as a teacher; as a parent, I'm even more impressed....My daughter is a special needs student. Doug (and Jeri) have achieved that rare balance of looking out for her needs (which are primarily visual) and encouraging her to dream big without being limited by thosed needs. As a parent, I'm very grateful for the genuine concern, encouragement, and connection the Fordyces have all their students."

When I read your Bio in the program from Godspell, I thought this is exactly what they are giving [my son], a great life experience. It has helped his self esteem, ability to make friends and have something he truely loves and works hard for. He is a gifted student, but can expect most things to come easy. The Theatre has given him something that he cares about and the want to really work to improve. [My husband] and I stand behind your KOS 100% and will be sending [our other children] soon.

“My daughter has learned stage presence, choreography, projection and numerous other stage skills. However, the skills I am most grateful to Doug and Jeri for have little to do with being on stage. I have been proud to see a kind, sensitive young girl emerging because of the experience that she has had with the Fordyce’s.”

“Words are not adequate to express my level of excitement and enthusiasm for the benefits of your program. It was solely through your patience and direction that (my daughter) was able to develop and express the confidence that ultimately lay within her, and I am so grateful for your influence in her like.”

“What an incredible role model you have been for (my son). What you give to children isn’t just about the music and the show, it’s about life. Be assured that to one young man your hard work has made a huge impact in his life and for that this mother will be forever grateful.”
