”My kids spent many years working with Merrily in Paonia Players and it made a huge difference in their personal development and in their ability to just be in the world. Built confidence, and gave them so many skills that they're still using to this day. My son is pursuing a career in acting due to Merrily's encouragement. I have a daughter who's minoring in theater because of the time that she spent with Merrily. All of my kids can speak better, sing better, dance better and are better human beings because of the time they spent with Merrily. Merrily is a deeply sensitive, talented, and focused performance professional and brings so many other tools of human development to the table.
