“My kids and I had so much fun performing in Erik’s plays. From the first improv game to the final bow, each session was a joyful experience. Erik’s energy and enthusiasm inspired everyone, including the more hesitant young actors. I’ll always appreciate Erik for helping my family make wonderful memories together!”
“1000% encourage all parents of young kids to sign up for Erik’s family theater class! In all honesty, his family courses produced some of my fondest parenting memories.”
“Working on family shows with Erik Montague was a fantastic experience for my daughter and I. In fact, we did 4 shows together. What I loved most was doing an activity with my kid rather than simply watching her from the sidelines. Erik made the whole experience fun and rewarding for both the adults and the kids.”
"Erik is an amazing teacher. (I taught for over 35 years and currently work with student teachers at PSU... I know a master teacher when I see one!) He made everyone feel comfortable and gave solid advice that made everyone better in a very short while... I will definitely be going to his classes again and give him my highest recommendation."
"We’ve done 2 family plays with Erik, and they were the highlights of our year! He’s great at getting everyone involved in the theater experience, and it was so fun to invite friends to see us perform. Highly recommend!"
