"Theatre and education make a great team.  Theatre educates and education is brought to life by theatre.  Whether it is brought into a class or realized in a fully staged production, theatre breeds love and community.  My experiences in the arts as a child and throughout adulthood have given me the tools to be a better person and member of my community. To speak up and be heard.  To listen to others.  To not be afraid to look another in the eyes.  To walk tall and with purpose.  To respect and celebrate what makes us all different and also very much the same.  That when you work hard and support each other, anything is possible.  To believe in magic."
