Acclaim

E.M.A.C.T. DASH Consultant's Choice Award for Success in Theatrical Risk Taking (Spring Awakening)
E.M.A.C.T. DASH Nomination for Best Child Actor in a Musical (Carly Fallon, Spring Awakening)
E.M.A.C.T. DASH Nomination for Best Choreography (Carla German, Spring Awakening)
E.MA.C.T. DASH Nomination for Best Ensemble (Spring Awakening)
"It (Spring Awakening) was, in every way, top to bottom, a thoroughly professional production. The cast was mostly high-school and here and there some college kids and an adult or three, but from the "stars" down to the least of the chorus members everyone came onstage prepared, dedicated, concentrated, and aware not only of the serious story but each individual's place in that story. It's on a list of mine for a possible Best Ensemble vote in next year's IRNE collection. In most amateur theater, at any age, the muscle (or lack of it) is the creative team --- in this case Producer/Director Samantha Bower, Music Director John Bower, and Choreographer Carla Gerken. They matched performers' talents and expertise with their roles, and filled the stage with chorus more often than one might expect, but always logically and movingly." --Larry Stark, Theater Mirror
