"We have had numerous years' experience working with Dustin. He directed plays as well
as a summer youth drama camp that our three girls attended, and I was always pleased
with Dustin's interactions with the youth. The first time my oldest daughter was in a play
with Dustin, I remember going to pick [her] up at the end of practice -- all the youth were
seated in a circle, completely engrossed in their game, and I remember being so
impressed with his teaching style and control. He has always treated the youth with
respect and clearly enjoys working with them. During each dress rehearsal I attended, I
was always impressed with his positive feedback and constructive criticism -- he never
raised his voice but remained in control of the group. I was so grateful that the first
impressions of theatre for our girls came from Dustin!" - Jodi Fegter

"I had a really great experience at NLP, one that I wouldn't trade for
anything. It was my first job out of school, and I loved it. I have a huge
respect for what they do. It was one of the hardest things I've ever
done...also the most rewarding." - Geoff Karnish, 2008
