What families, participants & audiences are saying about the KWCDW experience!
“We have had a wonderful experience with KWCDW. Our daughter Grace has enjoyed participating in Drama Classes, PD programs, summer camp, and the fall 2010 production of Seussical Jr. All of the teachers have been extremely talented and have a passion for drama, music, and dance. The Seussical Jr production gave Grace a tremendous learning opportunity. The experience also helped to boost her confidence and self esteem. Grace felt very connected to the children and teachers after spending so many hours together in rehearsals. She found it hard to say goodbye to everyone when the production was over. Grace is looking forward to seeing some of the children again and making new friends in future productions, summer camps, and classes with KWCDW.
Thank you Dee for all your dedication, enthusiasm, creativity, and professionalism that you bring to KWCDW to make all these fabulous drama opportunities available to children and their families in the Kitchener – Waterloo area!
Sincerely,Sheri and Richard C.”

The KWCDW organization has grown tremendously since my 2 girls first started participating in their annual productions back in 2005. I love that they take all the parents feedback and strive to make it the best organization it can be. Every year the productions are better organized and much more fun for the kids to participate in. As a parent, to me it's all about kids having fun and feeling a great sense of accomplishment in what they are doing and I really feel that this is the message that the KWCDW is trying to promote.

Thank you so much for your guidance, enthusiasm and belief in all the children - and especially in Emma. It has been such a pleasure working with you. All the best! Paula and Emma
