Comments from cast members' parents & attendees from Willy Wonka (2010)
Wonka attendee & grandparent says:
My granddaughter was part of the cast so I'm well aware of the time, the effort, and the dedication it took from everyone associated with the project to turn out such a fabulous production! The cast, the set decoration, the music - EVERYTHING was top notch and exceeded all of my expectations for a community theatre production.
GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!
AND A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all those parents who worked their schedules around rehearsals and to all those behind-the-scenes miracle workers whose passion for the arts inspired them to make sure our children and teenagers in Guilford County have the wonderful experience of both enjoying and participating in fine theatre!!!!
Bravo to all!!!
Wonka attendee says:
I thought the musical was fantastic! I took my five year old daughter and she sat through the entire production, scarcely moving. We both enjoyed it tremendously. Our first experience with CTG was a great one and I marked my calendar to buy tickets for the Wizard of Oz in the Fall.
I have put a post on my Facebook page to let everyone know how much we thought of the musical and encouraging them to attend. Best of luck! -Amy K.
Wonka parent says:
My daughter was fortunate enough to be cast as an Oompah, her first role. I enjoyed getting involved and helping backstage and we both enjoyed the friendships we made. My daughter is already talking about auditioning for Wizard of Oz. The friends and family that attended this weekend (all from out of town) were thrilled by the production! With another weekend ahead of us and more friends and family attending, the excitement has just begun!
Comments from cast members' parents from The Wizard of Oz (2007)
Wizard parent says:
My son and I had a very rewarding experience during Wizard. We both have met many wonderful people and now
have some new friends. After years of trial and error, my son hasfinally found something he is good at, enjoys and is appreciated for. He is looking forward to auditioning at CTG in the future. Theatre is his true love and I, as his mother, am committed to helping him fulfill his goals, hopes and dreams. Thanks for a wonderful trip down the Yellow Brick Road!
Wizard parent says:
Wizard was definitely a rewarding, learning experience for our entire family. You meet so many interesting, caring people. This was our second year and we enjoyed the experience so much that we drove 40-50 minutes each way during rehearsals and performances of Wizard.
Wizard parent says:
My child has blossomed as a result of her involvement with CTG. She is a quiet child but has grown in poise, confidence and learning in the area of musical theatre. She cannot wait to audition for The Wizard of Oz next year! No theatre group in the area can compare to the excellence that is CTG!!

Because of High School Musical, I ended up with a boyfriend and a best friend! We would never have met if it had not been for HSM and I am so thankful for it!

It was SO fun and this was the best onstage version of the show that I have EVER seen!

Comments from Periphery cast members (2008)
Periphery cast member says:
It was an honor to work with such a talented group of people—actors and staff. Everything was professional and well done.
Periphery cast member says:
I would just like to say that I had a blast! I loved the entire crew, and I learned a lot from all the cast. This was my first show and it boosted me to move onward. The play was really put together. The writer, Ed Simpson, did a really good job and also the entire crew—Michael, Adrienne, and everyone else. I love those guys!
