Seeing a show performed by kids and young people is exhilarating, especially for their parents, family members, and teachers. All of their hard work and effort are on full display during each performance, and you love to see their faces light up when they are rewarded with an engaged audience.

It is challenging enough to work with adults to make a story come to life, but children must learn the fundamentals before they can even rehearse.
Parents have a lot of responsibility. They must teach their children the skills they need to survive and thrive.
