At the end of the class period of 6 weeks the children are cast in a musical stage production, which includes rehearsals and per- formance of at least two performanmces.

Aproductive and fun training program along with per- formance time, enhances self-esteem, provide gaols, friendship and new directions in these young people's lives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- j~~~.

The teachers have been helpful and cooperative in demonstrating so many aspects of theatre production. They have been able to take so many children, of so many diverse backgrounds and personalities, and transform them into one cooperative team. My children, of which there were five involved in this years production, have come to understand that it takes a lot more then just being on stage to produce a succesiful musical play. Especially when there is so much "raw" talent! My children have blossomed on stage; singing outloud in a large group is no longer an obstacle. It is a talent to be cultured rather than be suppressed. They have learned that parts in a play are given to those best suited to fulfill a specified need. As such, favoritism is non-existent. But most importantly they have come to appreciate the fact that there are "stars" waiting to shine within us all. I thank the city and the Academy staff for offering such a wonderful summer class. I hope that this is the first of many great summer musicals to be presented at the Sturges Theatre; of which there is no other greater in San Bernardino!

My daughter Ryan took part in this summer program. It has been an excellent learning experience for her. She has learned all the parts of working on a play, including the background areas. She has learned to work with all kinds of people and take direction. Her self confidence has improves. She is not afraid to get in front of a large group of people. I bope that the Sturges Art Center can offer this program again, as my daughter is eager to get up on stage again. Sincerely, Linda Hammons 1999-291 To Mayor Valles, I would like to thank you and the city of San Bernardino for such a wonderful experience for my two children this summer at the Summer Academy. Our family has never been involved in anything like this before and actually we never knew how to become involved until this summer. Everyone at the Academy was professional and very caring towards the kids and their parents. I always felt welcome whenever I was there, and I knew my kids were safe with the teachers and staff. It is rare to have that trust and confidence in people you barely know, but we all did. I cannot tell you in words how my children have grown and changed during those 6 weeks, but it is amazing to see the difference. They enjoy music, singing, and pretending they are putting on a show for our family, and with their friends. They use vocabulary they learned at the Academy about theater. Their teachers even have noticed a difference with their self-confidence and willingness to participate in class and especially in front of people. They would NEVER have done it without the Academy program. We are looking forward to next summer. We hope you have the same teachers, if possible. The children are very attached to them, and you couldn't have picked better people. Thank you very, very much.

She has always wanted to take acting classes, but, we could never afford acting classes let alone 12 plus hours a week acting classes. From the first day we entered the Sturges Academy and a soft spoken voice greeted us with a warm smile we knew this was going to be a great experience. And It has Mrs. Lindsey and her staff have taught our Heather so much about Theater that she has brighten up and feels so confident about herself. Thank you for choosing the best people to work with our child. We trusted them and they proved to us they are very trust worthy people. We are forever greatfu1. Heathers parents, LD U2L~ Ken and Rebecca Grumet 1999-291 To Whom It May Concern; I would like to convey my deepest regards for giving my children the opportunity of participating in the Sturges Center For the Fine Arts. My children have benefited greatly from the Sturges program. They have learned what it means to be apart of a team all working together with one goal in mind, that is to preform for their audience to the best of their ability. The Program of the Arts has also helped with my childrens self -esteem, they now believe that they can do anything they put their minds to. They have learned the importance of hard work and listening and taking instructions from their peers and other adults. The staff worked well with the children, they were patient understanding and communicated well with the parents. My children have met many new friends and have been exposed to a great experience that will be remembered for years to come. I once again would like to thank you because without this wonderful low cost program my children would not be able to participate in such a wonderful learning experience. I hope the Sturges summer program will continue ,next summer and the summers to come, so that other children along with mine, will experience this great opportunity of the arts.

All of the children and teenagers at the academy had a ball! Everyone is so nice at the Sturges Center and the teachers were fantastic! You could really tell from the first day that they loved kids and knew how to teach a large (and difficult at times) group of kids of all ages and backgrounds. They all got very close to each other when they were put into family groups. My daughter is very shy, and we didn't think she would keep going each day, but she loved it, and was very bored on the days the academy was not held. We are moving this October and are so glad she had the chance to go to such a wonderful theater to be trained for such a small cost. There is no other kind of program we have ever heard of to do this. Thank you to everybody who thought of this program, and who made it happen for my daughter andall the other kids. !' ~ -I UAA.!.:u~ ~~af(fs7;~ ~ - - - .. , 1999-291 h a~~/w~ !Jo(,0~~c~: . .. ~ te~~ __________~'ll~_~_2__~ __ -.-~~..--~-~ ."~)'~.~.~--~..~) CA-~ fuv~~-to~~~~ ~~, ~k~~S6~ ~ _::::::r~~~:;:::f~:_€~~ .~~.V\~' ~~~OYU "" ~ ~; 11.-,~, WvlLrrcMl~ cI6 n.~~ __. _~ ~ )AvQC.~-- ~ J~ Jwv~ J.i'f0 0-- ~~~ i ac ~ oJvnM-~~~. )~-~-~-~ ~~ wJw_~_~_ii:L~_fo_-~--.. t~~~~..~~" .~ ~~ ~ Pf-L it ." } ~ [I,e. ~) vn.Jd./~~~ cB ~ :::;;;fe,,~ =:::l:1:!;:1 J!:t lfu:t~ p l?-Z--Ct pCiflofl ('t)Dule pctsseSlc-fc..), (.

He enjoyed it so much, and can;'t waot until it starts again. He is very interested in drama now, and is going to try out for plays at his school this year. Our family really loved the play Castlerock and all the costumes and everything on stage was great. Carlos made many new friends and that is very hard for him, but not at the acadamy. The teachers were so kind to him and all of other kids, and I knew there were some problems with dangerous kids but the teachers took care of everything so it was fun and everyone felt good about themselves. Also, Carlos told' me many times that so many nice things were said to him, that he felt like a different person when he was there because he has had some problems at his schools but never at the acadamy. Thank you for all the teachers, the special treats, the letters to parents, and the beautiful awards for all the kids. ~~ Elena Flores , ^ 1999-291 Sturges Center for tlie !f Ute .9Lrts ~;t!:t Annual ~tutg(!!: ~utntn(!t Acad(!tny Classes in Acting, Voice, Choreography, Hair/ Make-up & StageCraft Offering *To San Bernardino Inner-City Youth Grades K-8 *(Must actually reside in inner-city areas) Classes are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays from 3:45 pm - 8:30 pm - June 29 - Aug. 5, 1999 Perform in a musical theatre production AUG. 7thl PRODUCED BY'THE STURGES FAMILY' PLA Y'HOUSE.
