Elyse Jasensky | Director & Mother Goose, Fairy Tale Theater
As the director of Fairy Tale Theater, a children’s performance group, I was so fortunate to find Workspace Academy when we needed a new venue. The facility is amazing! As a classroom educator for 22 years I was amazed at the educational equipment and the varied curriculum offerings, but mostly, I was impressed by the staff and their enthusiasm and dedication to creating an atmosphere where every child will be encouraged and accepted. At Workspace Education a child-centered education is not something that is hoped for – it is a given.As for the needs of our theater group, there was nothing that the folks at Workspace wouldn’t do to help us out. Moving a large operation from a spot where we had been for many years seemed like a daunting task, but as soon as I saw Workspace and met the staff, I felt totally at ease. The staff made our every wish a reality, and handled everything from equipment issues to bees and always with a smile. Our first season at Workspace was a complete success, which was in large part due to the staff. I am already looking forward to our next season!
