- Seek out and hire great, child- and teen- focused artistic teams;
- Obtain licensing rights for the best shows;
- Innovate and react to outside challenges;
- Invest in new technology and high-quality lighting, sound, sets, and props;
- Provide a safe and inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive;
- Attract a diverse and talented group of young performers; and
- Give financial assistance so students who need it can participate.
Thank you in advance. We appreciate your generous support!
