Empowering and educating parents to support their children in the development of a professional performing career; that is the goal of inspirational speaker Marie Mascia-Mancl who has developed a series of high brow seminars aimed at introducing parents to the worlds of Broadway and film. A bold hybrid of story telling, career coaching, and multi-media presentation, these conversations inform parents of the do's and don'ts surrounding the business through retelling of life experience. More important than the technicalities, Mancl explores the psychology behind raising a working actor and conveys how to successfully help children achieve their goals as performers. Join Marie and discover how to change your mindset and change your life!
