SHOW TESTIMONIALS
"Dr Bushore-Fallis did it! Pinellas County school youth emerged from Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts production with big smiles, spontaneous laughter, and tears of joy in their eyes. Through the magic of the performing arts and our grand theater, the "Choose WHO to be" lesson changed lives. Youth who attended gained a deep appreciation for the spiritual freedom from oppression that is their right in school and our nation as a part of the U.S. representative government."
~Julie Mastry, President, Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts, Inc., January 26, 2015
“Freedom Found Musical was the best show for children I've ever seen!
... And I've been here thirty years."

"I particularly enjoyed the FREEDOM FOUND MUSICAL scene depictions, by set design artist Barbara Griffith, painted in a simple, childlike, style effective in reinforcing the theatrical genre of imaginative fiction."
~Meryl Shafer, Managing Director, Circus Education Specialists, Inc, 12 years past theater experience in Washington, DC, and NY Off Broadway. www.NationalCircusProject.com
“I was deeply moved by the FREEDOM FOUND MUSICAL DRAMA as a magnificent World Premiere production by Constantine Grame, Director, and Rosalia Maresca, Production Consultant. The voices were fabulous, quality of music superb, and acting exceptional. I was especially moved by the depiction of pure innocence of childhood with spectacular children and the portrayal of courageous, tough choices of young adults with such remarkably talented youth.”

The musical features amazing vocal performances by professional singers and actors, an inspiring story and a great moral message for everyone: “Choose who to be”....“Everyone in the community will benefit from the messages of the value of freedom, personal choice, personal responsibility, living up to our full potential and standing up for what is right.”
