One, whether people in the acting and modeling industry would be interested in our son Jacob and two, after four days of performing, whether our son was genuinely interested in pursuing an acting and modeling career. Both questions were answered! Jacob received 19 callbacks and he can't wait to get started! As a side benefit, Jacob met some really great people who have become good friends; they are still texting everyday. Again, we thank you so much for the experience and the opportunities that are now available to our son!"
