"I had such a delightful time choreographing Urinetown. Tracy's program is a beautiful thing to be a part of. Nothing can describe the feeling you get watching a group of people grow together and being themselves freely through the beautiful art of theatre. I couldn't have had a better time interning for Tracy Whiteside."

"I've lost track of how many people have endorsed Tracy, but I'm going to also. She truly cares about the kids and relates to them. She has been a wonderful mentor to my daughter."
-Emily Garza

"I absolutely adore Tracy. I can't even begin to describe how much my experiences with her have helped me throughout my career. She has given me confidence that I'm good enough to do whatever I put my mind to. Tracy has pushed me to try and do new things and for that I will forever be grateful. The way Tracy goes about teaching makes everyone feel like they are a part of a group and not just doing a show but taking a part in something that they are proud of. As an intern I see and learn her ways and see how much the kids she teaches grow throughout the years. I was one of those kids and I don't know where I would be today without her."                                   -Maegan Daniels

"Doing shows though Nomad has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Tracy is by far among the best directors I've had the pleasure of working with. Her style of directing not only puts together amazing shows but also provides impeccable learning experiences for those involved. She finds a way to make every person, from leads to ensemble, feel that they are a valued member of the cast and vital to the show's success. Through both doing shows with Tracy, as well as multiple internships, I have been able to grow as a person, an actor, and a future director."
