“I was very impressed with both the top notch facilities at Noble Fool Theatricals and the caliber of the students in their education program; I will be contacting many of these talented students for auditions in the near future after seeing their work here.” 
     -Matt Miller, Casting Director, Tenner Paskal & Rudnicke Casting, Chicago

"I just wanted to let you know that Casey (NFT student) shot her first commercial last Thursday.  The client was Big Lot and it is supposed to start airing on national TV over memorial day weekend.  She was so excited."

"Hello Tracy, As you know, Jessica took your audition class in October of  07'.  She thoroughly enjoyed the class and learned a lot in the process.  I am writing to you with good news.  Jessica was recently cast as Josephina in the American Girl Revue at the American Girl Theatre downtown.  This is a professional paid position.  After being cast I couldn't help thinking of Noble Fool's audition class and how helpful it was.  Just wanted to drop this note to say thank you."
      - Heidi Blakely 

"Thanks for all of your efforts. The little pep talk you gave the kids the week before the show really paid off and helped get the kids motivated. I too thought they did a great job and really came through. I know Nika had a very positive experience and that is key for her to continue to build some confidence - so thank you!"
      -Dianne Akers

"My husband and I want to thank you for selecting Delaney for the part of Marion in the Music Man. She is very shy and somewhat soft spoken (except for around the house!). Her solo singing part w/a good size speaking part was a leap of faith. We went to a family party yesterday and she was telling everyone what she did...she was beaming!  I asked if it's something she wants to do again and she said yes...I'm so glad.  What you do is so great...building confidence and self assurance is so special...a gift for a lifetime..." 
       -Donna Roberton
 
"Thanks, again, for providing a great experience for Amanda at the "Aida" summer camp.  She truly enjoyed the week, and grew in many ways including self-confidence and theatre skills.  The extra support and encouragement you gave her were appreciated by her, my husband and me." 
       -Sue Beckman 

"I once again want to say THANK YOU!  Maddy had such a wonderful time in your class and being back on stage under your direction!  The CAST did a wonderful job in such a short time, and the improvements I heard from just Saturday to Sunday were AWESOME!  You did an amazing job preparing them for the show.  Just wanted to share the "warm fuzzy" feeling we had at the conclusion of Music Man; the memory & experience will last Maddy's lifetime!  Thanks SOOOO much!"
       -Missy & Maddy Donatelli

"From the script to the direction, you do such a great job of putting the kids in position to succeed and have fun. I also love how all the staff treats them like actors, not children."
      -Wade Joyner
 
"The show was fantastic!  It's always amazing to me how you can take so many different kids and in such a short time pull everything together into a well crafted performance.  Brava! Thanks once again for your time, patience and effort with the kids.  You are not only teaching them a craft, but you are also giving them the gift of self confidence.  It has been a wonderful experience for my daughter. I can't wait for the next show! Thanks.

     -Lori Hewitt, St. Charles Chamber of Commerce

“Allison loves doing shows and she really enjoyed being a part of Footloose!!!  Even though it was her first Noble Fool show, the directors and cast made her feel very comfortable and immediately she felt part of the group - it was a great experience.  She is looking forward to going out for future Noble Fool shows and is already enjoying the Singing Hairspray class. Thanks.”

      -Missy Donatelli

"Tracy: Thanks for the good work you do and your patience and dedication to all the kids.  I believe the Oz and Joseph classes and performances have greatly strengthened Amanda's self-confidence and ability to communicate well for her age, but even more important to her is you made it fun and she really enjoyed it."
      -Scott Spencer

"Just a quick thanks for giving Mike such a wonderful experience in the 'Joseph' show.  It really was a treat watching him and all the kids 'grow' into their part and just love the performance." 
     -Deb Anderson

“I just cannot begin to tell you how much Maggie enjoyed your summer camp program!  Everyday her excitement grew...now I know why!  What you were able to accomplish with these kids in one short week simply astounds me! Thank you once again for everything!  Your love for the theatre and children came shining through for all to see!”
       - Patti Molloy 

“I wanted to let you know that my daughter had her first experience with Noble Fool this summer and we could not have been more thrilled.  The entire experience was wonderful.  Her instructor, Tracy, was outstanding and the guest coaches were fantastic as well.  Keep up the good work, we look forward to working with your organization again in the future. It's teachers like you who inspire children to greatness.”
       - Laura Tubridy 

 “Thank you so much for giving Gianna and Gabriella a wonderful experience last week!  They learned so much from you and best of all, had a lot of fun.  What a good feeling I had dropping them off each day knowing that they were stimulated, having fun and learning about theatre- the one thing the girls can agree on! (I got no complaints about getting up earlier than usual.)  Tracy- I admire what you were able to do with the entire group in such a short time.  My girls left with information, confidence and new friendships.  What more could a mother ask for?”
       - Gina Marzetta 

“I can not even tell you how excited McKenzie is- we are so glad we heard about you! Thanks for everything!"
        - Jen Bell

 "I just wanted to thank you again, Tracy, for all of your work with the kids. This was Ceci's first experience in a theater performance and she told me last night she wanted to do it again and again and again! She really enjoyed it. You will see us again in the spring.  Thanks so much!"
       -Claudette Yasell

 "Thank you so much for such a fun experience once again! Your talent for directing amazes me! It was really fun playing the role of Igor!!!! Once Again, thanks so much! I'm looking forward to the auditions of Oliver!" 
       -Jordan Graber

 "This was a terrific experience for my daughter.  I can't tell you how excited Paige was to attend classes on Saturdays and be a part of the program.  She really amazed her dad and I with her (ok, we're a bit biased...) talent on stage, because she's rather shy around adults.  So I say thank you for all of your patience while sharing your time and talents with her.  It was a wonderful performance!"
       -Annie Romero

 Thanks so much for all your hard work- Kenzie had so much fun and has not stopped talking about how much she loved being part of the play- you'll probably inherit the other Bell as well :) Thanks again!
      -The Bells

"Isabelle had a great time at your class and we hope to be a part of the spring classes.  She really learned a lot and I see how things she’s learned in class come through in everyday life.  So thank you. She was the star of the week at school this week, so on Monday she brought in her program and sang the “If I Only” song for her class doing all of her lion moves.  The kindergarten class was in awe.  And now she gets Wizard of Oz song requests on the bus.  So she has become the singer for all of the kids.  And she loves it.  Thanks again Tracy!"
     -Jen Loomos

"Thank you so much for making Riley's introduction to acting so much fun!!  She has never done anything like this.  Thanks to your fun, supportive style, it was a wonderful experience.  She really enjoyed it.  We appreciate all of your patience and dedication to the kids.  Hope to see you in a future production!"
