Testimonials (Parents)

“Being part of TIFTPA has been an incredible experience for Claudia. It has given her the opportunity to create and develop her passion for the arts. Both Darnell and Liana are supportive and continue to encourage her creative process. As parents, we felt an incredible sense of ease, as TIFTPA’s Application & Audition Preparation Program guided Claudia through what would have been a very emotional and challenging time, auditioning for both Drama and Musical Theatre programs. We thank Darnell and Liana of TIFTPA for all that they do and will hold them dear to our hearts, wishing them continued success.”

- Robert & Margaret Chiodo

"Liana and Darnell, just a quick note to thank you both so much for all of your hard work and dedication towards helping Sam be as prepared as she could be for her auditions. Everything went smoothly, she felt confident, and was thrilled with her results! Thank you for being there for her - as well as for us; not only as a mentor but as friends because it really was a blessing to have the proper guidance for her. It was an amazing process and one we couldn't have navigated as successfully on our own. Much love to you both❤. Thank you so much!”

- Tony & Denise Laprocina
