There are so many schools nowadays whose budget for their theatre program is just a little below the price of a gallon of gas. So how are the kids supposed to get started with a play if not for volunteers? You know how important it is to teach these kids to write, compose and act. You know how they will benefit from breaking through their shyness, learning to speak in public and being a part of something larger than themselves! So volunteer and make it happen for them!
