it really builds, confidence as young actors.
When I'm directing children's theater, it's just an amazing, I get to experience them going through that process.
A lot of kids will come in a little bit shy and scared.
But it's just the confidence that builds and and the enthusiasm that they build, even when our camp's only a week long.
The emotion that they get when it's that last performance and they're like, is this the last one?
We don't get to come back for another whole year.
It kind of it really touches my heart to see, to see that and to be able to be part of that and try to get them involved in some of our adult productions as well, to get them throughout the year.
And, and just kind of continue to grow on that, And it, I mean, it's just really community theater just brings the community together.
You know, in a place where we can just all be together and under one kind of common goal.
It gives people the opportunity to express themselves and not only the audience members, but also as as, actors and performers and, being involved in, in a group like this, it's just, brings a lot of, of joy and excitement to the community.
And, and it's just great to be part of something like that.
