Denise Krawczuk and Applauze Productions were fundamental in my progress as a performer. While working with them I was on stage, in front of countless audiences more than anyone I knew, and that alone was an education better than any I could imagine. Denise cares about her students like they’re her family and strives to give each and every one one an opportunity to showcase their talent in it’s fullest. I wouldn’t be where I am today, living out my dream and loving my life, if it wasn’t for the ceaseless positive support of Denise and a passion for growth that was constantly nurtured by Applauze Productions. Thank you Dee!

Denise is open, friendly and accommodating. She is a gifted vocalist and teacher committed to excellence in her students, and their performances. Her work to bring musicals and musical performances to the stage in Thunder Bay is tireless. Gathering a talented team of creatives, and attracting the most talented performers of all ages is Denise’s gift. She encourages the creative team to explore and gives them the freedom to create while fostering an atmosphere of collaboration and highest level production, while giving the performers grounded roots and soaring vocal wings.
