Many young people find themselves on stage through a school production or in a Christmas pageant at their church. This often results in getting "bit by the acting bug". Some kids are just natural born performers.

Student Performing Arts and Theatre Training Sessions; otherwise known as S.P.A.T.T.S. is a summer workshop for students ages 6-17 promoting the fundamentals of Musical Theatre in a professional theatre environment which
also builds confidence in young people.
