What the Community Park District in the Chicago Area had to say about our newest instructor:

Ms. Dee inspired a love of the arts in hundreds of children each year. Her passion, dedication, and experience helped the park district grow the annual participation in our youth theatre program from 20-30 children to well over 100. Her enthusiasm was contagious among adults as well, as she recruited and managed hundreds of parent, artistic, and tech volunteers throughout her tenure.
Dee’s tireless work in creating one of the best theatre programs in the Chicagoland area resulted in the park district earning the Illinois Association of Park District’s (IAPD) Helen Doria Arts in the Park Award in 2015.
