Our valley has incredible talent. I hope you were able to attend some of our local high school spring productions. There is nothing better than live theater! The performers give 100%! Drama builds confidence, friendships, and memories. Have you ever considered auditioning or volunteering to help back stage or set design? Give it a try. You may catch “the Drama bug”. It’s a great way to give back to your community. If you are interested, just let me know.
I just finished directing Lakewood Youth Theater’s musical When the West WasWild. Every show was different. Every show received a standing ovation. It was thrilling! Still singing the songs! The talented students sang and danced their way into the hearts of the appreciative audience. The final song of every Lakewood musical ends with the cast singing and signing! Pure magic!
