"Bay Area eTc has been a rock for my family for years. My child learned stage skills and confidence, and we all made friends we still see today. The summer camp is wonderful and a great value. My child and myself both continue to volunteer with the organization now that they no longer perform. You'll even occasionally see me on stage, too."
