Heart of the Director

Opening Act is a step in the process of bringing a dream into reality. My heart's desire is to see students grow in confidence, commitment and communication skills. My hope is that the students who participate in the group will feel encouraged to open up their heart and mind to the wonderful individual they are created to be. In turn, they will be empowered to communicate that message to others as well.
