Woof! The Musical | Sparkle on Stage Inc

Written by Frank Morris

Director's Note

Welcome to Sparkle on Stage Cultural Arts Center. I am proud to say that this is the third production that I have produced working with Frank Morris. His musicals are fun, witty and most importantly teach a lesson that our children need to learn and our grownups need to remember.

Music, dance, and theater do more than build artistic talents - they help children develop the creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and critical-thinking skills that are essential for success in subjects like English, Math and History. Most importantly, the arts helps build your child’s confidence in public-speaking, giving them a well-rounded set of skills that they will carry with them throughout their adult lives.

As a performer myself I know there is no better feeling than the sound of applause confirming that you provided an evening of laughter, joy and entertainment for others.

Thank you to our parents and families and friends for supporting our cast and crew. Thank you to Ms. Gigi at My Little Town Daycare for suggesting this summer program and for bringing her kids to Sparkle on Stage for a special summer experience.

Always serving the arts,

MS. ROBYN
