Testimonials

Erin is an energetic and creative leader who quickly gained a strong rapport with students and staff at this year’s summer musical theatre camp as our director and choreographer. She arrived with a strong vision for our production, but showed flexibility to make changes when necessary. Erin was a pleasure to work with, always making sure everyone felt a part of the team. 

Erin’s work at the Stabback Music Studio has left a lasting positive impact on our students, and in the staff a desire to work together again.

Teacher, Singer, Composer & Performer
Erin Burgess is a talented performer, whose skill set includes acting, dance, and singing. She is a triple threat ++ as she is fully capable of undertaking any task set before her with enthusiasm, aplomb, and passion.

She is personable, caring and truly committed to her work as an artist. I am happy to endorse her.

- Rosanna Saracino

Director at art & lies productions
Erin is a smart and extremely talented young woman. Her presence on stage is incredible. She gives every performance 100%, and nothing less. She’s always there to help her classmates through her kind and compassionate nature.

She’s organized, punctual, and would be an asset to any company.

- Beth Wolfe

Office Administrator at Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts
Working with Erin was a pleasure. She played the title role in a production of “Sweet Charity” at Scarborough Music Theatre which I directed in 2010. She was always professional, and always prepared.

Erin is a creative actress, and generous to her fellow performers. She is a serious triple threat, and handled a part normally reserved for a much older, more seasoned performer with poise, professionalism, and grace.

I would not hesitate to recommend Erin for anything she may pursue.

- Michael Hiller

Director, “is He Dead?” at Amicus Productions
Erin has quickly become an indispensable member of our faculty, going above and beyond in all aspects of her program. Her teaching is rooted in a deep understanding of each camper’s individual strengths and needs, making choreography a positive and accessible experience for dancers of all levels. Erin engages kids with a balance of playfulness and professionalism, and her collaborative nature makes her beloved by staff and campers alike.

We are lucky to have her on our team!
