Community Rallies Around New Theatre  - Barrie Examiner, September 14, 2011

“……The first standing ovation of the night went to 16-year-old Barrie pianist Abigail Johnson for playing Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C sharp minor. A stunning aerial performance by Jamie Holmes wowed everyone. Renee Cingolani provided musical accompaniment on the piano…….”

Music School Goes Silent – Barrie Examiner, July 29, 2011

“Barrie music school founded by Gerlinde Baumgarten goes silent…….She’ll be missed, Cingolani said, She was a Leo (so) she was really headstrong and determined. I’d say she was used to getting her own way but that’s only because she was usually the one making it happen.”

Urinetown… Bad name, great show! – Bradford/West Gwillimbury Times, December 2008

“Director Scott Hurst, producer Bob Buckley and musical director Renée Cingolani have put together a tremendously talented 18-member cast…..The show has been playing to sell-out crowds and standing ovations since it opened on November 20. The only negative – other than the name – is that there are only four more performances before it closes.”
