Dear Friend of the Arts,
Please help us bring all of the arts to the children and adults in our area! We invite you
to become a RAVING FAN of the newly-formed Craig Wich Studio of Performing Arts, a
501(c)(3) organization located in Tequesta. Our mission is to bring world-class
instruction in the four performing arts disciplines -voice, dance, acting, and music - to
us right here in South Florida!
We want to spark the interest and tap the potential of our students by providing them
with the highest quality of instruction possible. We further hope to provide a safe,
nurturing "hang out" for kids, in which they learn how to understand and respect one
another, how to come together and create something special and uniquely their own,
and develop the confidence to share their talents within their community.
Our esteemed faculty includes Craig Wich of the Boston Conservatory; Betty Saunders
of the Eastman School of Music; Jacqueline Bayne, Broadway star of South Pacific,
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and more; Ron Anderson, vocal coach for American Idol and
other celebrities; Judy Gelman of the Pittsburgh Ballet and the Center for Theatre Arts;
Donna Morgan of Ballet Florida; Marc Durso of ActTrue; Lissa Birder from TPW Studio
in Wisconsin, and dozens of guest artists from New York and Los Angeles. Our goal is
to teach towards excellence and a future in the arts, whether it be as a performer,
technical person or a strong advocate of arts programming.
We have extensive, exciting plans for a professional dance company, a repertory
theatre company and a performing company of students. We offer classes for adults of
all ages and abilities, and a special class for the mentally challenged.
PLEASE help us by becoming a supporter in whatever way you are able:
• Donate time, expertise, or much-needed funding
• Support a student who cannot afford classes by sponsoring that student
• Donate a ballet barre for the dance studios
• Donate a piano that you no longer need
• Contribute to the construction currently underway
Become a part of the excitement and energy and enthusiasm that is contagious in our
hallways and studios. Become a part of keeping the arts alive and thriving right here,
right now.
