Testimonials

"Leah is the whole package as a performer – a beautiful singing voice with the acting chops to boot. When I coach her, she’s like a sponge. Yet, she’s also able to take what I give her and add her own insights to the process. Watching her work makes the gears in my own brain turn, leading me to think of new and creative ideas, which is exactly what you want in a performer – someone who is going to collaborate with you. On top of this, Leah is also a beautiful person – both on the inside and the outside."

- Eddie Guttman, Music Director

"During her time in my class, Leah Darby has mastered the technique of communication. Each time she performs, it is perfectly clear she is speaking from her heart honestly and emotionally. She has that “thing” all actors wish they had; A belief in herself and the task at hand. I am privileged to call her my student."

- Richard Sabellico, Director/Teacher

"The first time I saw Leah Darby on the stage she was a young girl clogging her little legs off. It was obvious IT had landed on this lovely lady. Seeing her progress as a gifted dancer and singer has been a pleasure. Her commitment to her craft and artistry is only exceeded by her generous spirit and care for other people. Leah is absolutely delightful on the stage and off!"

- Laura Bergquist, Musical Director/Conductor of 'Allegiance'
