“Discovering and developing your skills as an artist & storyteller on stage will stay with you forever. Compassion, depth of understanding, humor, physical and emotional confidence can all be found through the performing arts. Whether a young person chooses to move forward towards a career in theatre or not, these experiences will inform and elevate their ability to navigate through the world with a little more self esteem and a lot more joy.” -Christine Pedi
