It was always my pleasure to work with Joey Clarkson in Rainbow theatre musicals. It is also so wonderful to see a talented Comox Valley arts education student strike out on her own, after completing education with our performing arts teachers in SD 71. Well done Joey and we wish you the very best of success! - Charlotte Harvey District Vice Principal, Arts Education Comox Valley School District

My ten year old daughter recently participated in a week-long theatre camp designed and run by Joey and she had a blast!  Joey combines her creative talents with her wonderful, warm manner to ensure that all children have the best possible experience.  All of the participants had a great deal of fun and learned a lot.  I especially appreciated Joey’s positive way of including all children and helping them to understand that they are all an important part of the group; the children were empowered and the team-building was amazing!  Joey is a gifted teacher who offers children a fabulous theatre experience and the audience a terrific presentation at the end of the week.  I would highly recommend Joey’s musical theatre camp to all children. - Susan Carr-Hilton

I have known Joey for a number of years and have been very impressed with her considerable talents.  Joey is a gifted performer (acting and singing) as well as a very capable director.  As a drama teacher, I especially appreciate her attention to detail as well as her excellent organizational skills.  Joey is very enthusiastic and is highly skilled at motivating her students and sharing the joy of theatre with them.  - Brad Smith

"Joey I think was a really good teacher. She was kind and very fun. She also new alot about Musical Theatre and gave me alot of confidence to go up on stage and do my best." - Emma

"Joey had my son  crooning 50's tunes with a passion that made his Grandma cry!" - Shelley Greenup

"My son Nikolas was absolutely thrilled and extremely happy about being involved with Joey and her musical theatre camp. The group of kids that participated were all home schooled and Joey treated them all with respect no matter what age they were.  Nikolas came home each day he was there and said "I can't wait to go back!". The time and dedication that Joey showed in teaching these kids showed in the kids smiling faces and the audience's laughter and  heartfelt clapping at the final performance. I highly recommend Joey and any of her theatre classes that she teaches!  Thanks Joey for making it all possible!" - Gaylene Glennie

"Joey's Musical Theatre Camp has been a great experience for my daughter Eleanore. She received individual attention and great encouragement.  She also had a great time interacting with a group. She developed her memory along with her musical and dramatic skills. She's been to two camps now and both have been intense, exciting and a lot of fun. Joey's personality and style of teaching has brought out Eleanore's creativity. Everyday she was excited and happy to go to camp, and now, almost everyday, she asks when the next one will be." - Kathy Smith

"If anyone is thinking of participating in the new production(s) that Joey Clarkson has created, my kids and I would highly recommend the experience. Three of my children took part in Joey's 10 week program through the fall. They were excited the whole way through, until it got closer to the performance day and then they had some reservations about performing in front of a crowd. Joey was able to calm their nerves by supporting and encouraging them with her jovial, energetic and kind personality. Joey has confidence, experience and talent. She was able to lead a group of children...even those with high energy like my Owen....to level they may not have realized they could rise to. That was my children's first theatrical experience of which they loved and will always remember!"  - Pam Kirk
