"The sound of theater seemed like a great idea for me to express some creativity and learn about something that I had never looked into before.

For me, theater has created a safe space where I can be my full and unapologetic self without judgement. Theater is a safe space for me where I can learn new things, make friends, and be my true self without judgement."

"I joined theater because I enjoy the atmosphere created by my friends and cast members.

Theater gives me the ability to express myself in different ways that I normally wouldn't. It feels amazing when we put everything together and we can see that all of our hard work paid off."

"I was going through a lot of things being new to the city and school and Ms.Jones really helped me get through it. As the years progressed I grew a close relationship with both Ms.Jones and Mrs.Mueller and they really impacted my life

Theater is special to me because I get to be me find a different side of me that gets to be open and expressive."
