"While I had heard of the reputation of the Burt Wood School, and watched the
amazing performances of Burt Wood students for years, I had not taken advantage
of the schools' programs until this year as I assumed I needed to be an actress
or a singer (which unfortunately I am not)! I learned, however, that in
addition to being an amazing acting and vocal coach, Lorna ran an excellent
program designed to prepare students for state and national level pageant Thank You Lorna! |
