Bottle Tree Productions

Great people who make a safe and inclusive environment for all who are looking to have fun and learn to do theater. Both my children have done many camps with Bottle Tree. They have loved every one they have attended.

Bottle Tree has been a very positive experience for both of my children. My kids have taken classes during the year and also done camps in the summer. Even with Pandemic Restrictions, Bottle Tree was able to keep modified programs in place ensuring a positive safe fun environment. I would highly recommend.

My daughter has been involved with Bottle Tree productions for over four years and it has been nothing short of amazing! Her confidence in her abilities has grown, she has acquired life skills such as pubic speaking, and made friends that will last a lifetime. Huge thanks to Anne Marie for her support and encouragement- I’d recommend Bottle Tree to anyone with young children interested in theatre and the dramatic arts.

Our daughter has had nothing but positive experiences through various summer camps and musical theatre classes. New friendships and skills have been formed through this is a highly inclusive atmosphere. The professionalism of the productions are impressive and Ann Marie is a patient and intuitive guide for all aspects of the theatre.

My daughter had her first introduction to Bottletree last year and was involved in their Musical Theatre class this year. She had an amazing time and met a lot of nice kids. The mixture of older and younger kids was great as there was a lot of junior leadership happening. Yes, there are a lot of practices and time requirements, but if your child is truly into it, they are energized by it. I was completely impressed with the quality of the production, watching as the actors backstage managed themselves with no director and knew what prop to have, and when to come on, and when to sing along. The communication from Anne Marie is fantastic and on-time and thorough. She is a wonderfully kind person who is patient with the kids and works with them to get them into their character. There are a lot of supporting people to help kids with choreography, singing, props, etc, all of whom are excellent and kind.

So thankful for Bottle Tree Productions! Extraordinarily fun, engaging, and inclusive learning environments - camps and classes! Builds confidence and gives kids from a young age into teenage years a great place to express themselves creatively.

I have been a member of the Bottletree community since 2008. My experience with Anne and everyone she invites into her studio, camps, and classes has been nothing short of perfect! Anne brought me in when I was a very shy 7 year old and has given me MANY huge opportunities not only at her front door, but in the safe and welcoming community she creates. From the very involving acting classes, to musical theatre at her studio, and all the way to the Baby Grand and Grand Theatre, I have learned so much in my time with Bottletree. Anne makes sure everyone has a place and knows what she is doing. Now as an adult, working with Anne has been a path of growth, obstacles, and education. Anne always makes sure that you are comfortable, but pushes you to be better and step out of your box. I love everything about Bottletree and how much it has changed my life.

Over my years of teaching, I have had scores of students who have honed their acting and technical theatre skills by enrolling in Bottle Tree drama camps and classes. Two of those KCVI students on separate occasions advanced to the Sears Drama Festival Provincial Showcase and both won awards for Acting Excellence! Countless others won Awards of Excellence at the District and Regional Festivals! Over the years, KCVI also co-produced three shows with Bottle Tree Productions: The Pirates of Penzance, Office Hours, and Grease. Charles Robertson has also written plays that have advanced to the Regional Festivals as well as the Provincial Showcase!

Anne from Bottle Tree productions provides a safe and inclusive place where kids and adults can be themselves and have fun. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time with Anne!

My daughter loves this group and had a fantastic time being in productions like Mary Poppins Jr. and Frozen Jr.! Anne Marie is a fabulous director and acting coach! Highly recommend!
