I am beyond thankful for the opportunity I had to work with and get to know these amazing kids the past three weeks. Each day, they came in with such enthusiasm and readiness to learn. I want to thank every parent/guardian of these kids. They are kind, encouraging, and future leaders. I learned just as much from them everyday as they learned from me. Thank you to Kristi Pulliam, Morgan Pruitt, and Ian Buchanan for believing in me through this entire camp. This show is my debut as a director, and they continued to lift me up with encouragement, ideas, and solutions for every obstacle that presented itself. I am forever grateful for their guidance as a new director and their mentorship. I also want to thank Emily Trapp Jenkins for stepping up to the plate as my Assistant Director and Stage Manager last minute with no hesitation. You lead with absolute grace, Emily, and it has been amazing to work with you. I had so much support and guidance from all of the staff and artistic crew for this show, and I have loved the opportunity to work with everyone the past few weeks! This show was an absolute blast to work on, and I had the best team and cast to work with. Each day felt like a journey filled with adventure and fun, and I am so proud of the students for all of the hard work that they have done!

• Believe that engaging in the arts grows people and unites community
• Help people, and each other, learn discipline, teamwork, creativity, and focus through arts experiences - which arms them for success in any field
• Provide disciplined creative arts study and experiences trying our best to enable everyone to learn, regardless of their ability to pay
• Are a place for children and adults to participate in goal-oriented arts- study, in a non-competitive and technique-based environment
• Serve at least 500 families per week through arts education, theatre, and outreach activities
• Offer community theatre with ten different productions per year including The Nutcracker Ballet, musical theatre, and children’s theatre
• Stand alone as an arts organization in Northeast Arkansas that provides live theatre at relatively low ticket prices for thousands of patrons each year—and a Pay What You Can performance for each show so that everyone can grow from live theatre
• Work with adults and children with disabilities through the arts, allowing them the opportunity to perform annually on stage
• Bring an annual count of 55,000 trips into downtown Jonesboro for our community
• Need your support—ticket sales and class tuition support only about half of what it takes to serve Northeast Arkansas and the more than 20,000 people we positively affect annually
• ARE YOUR COMMUNITY Professional Affiliations
