Performance Schooling
Laguardia High School, PPAS, Frank Sinatra, PCS

Countless Players have gone on to performing arts schools. We have enjoyed working with them, coaching them toward their auditions, and congratulated them upon their acceptances!

They're crowing about the Birdhouse Players!

"Rana is amazing.  I don't know how she does it!  On several occasions, I've seen her produce and direct two full scale musicals simultaneously and bring about professional results." - Maggie Torre, Broadway Conductor and Musician (Cabaret, West Side Story, Annie revivals and more)

"I cannot rave more about the quality of the work and the level of professionalism Rana brings to her shows. Our once shy and serious daughter, after watching 3 years of excellent Birdhouse Players productions, told us she was auditioning and got cast in her first show this last year. It was definitely a life changing experience for her as she performed in front of an audience for the first time and learned how to be a part of a full scale musical." -  Ann Hamilton (actor, Guiding Light, One Life to Live, commercials, voice-over artist)

"Dear Birdhouse Family,
I just got back from shooting a TV pilot! It was for a show that used to be called FRESH OFF THE BOAT but the name may change now. Anyway I wanted to let you guys know that I don't think I would have gotten the role if it wasn't for the chance to do WEST SIDE STORY because I learned so much from everyone. I wanted to thank Rana and all of you, and share what it was like shooting a TV show...Love, Hudson" - Hudson Yang, star of ABC's new series Fresh Off the Boat) - READ MORE ON OUR BLOG
"The show (OOTI) was awesome. Rana Strazza knows how to bring out the best performance in every actor." - Evan Oppenheimer, Award-Winning Feature Film Director
