They created *Tacoma Youth Theatre* not merely as a performance space, but as a school to use acting as a means to help young people develop both stage and life skills. Adding the three adult actors, who’ve given their time as guides and mentors, lends yet another dimension to the children’s theatrical lessons. The play’s performance itself is but a small part of the good work being done in this building, a bit like parents’ day at school. Attending may be very rewarding, but that barely scratches the surface of the more important efforts that go on every day. Clearly, Scott and Maggie are doing a fantastic job at inspiring and training their young charges to do an equally fantastic job on the boards." -- Scott Campbell, Managing Director Tacoma Youth Theatre 253-677-0531 www.tacomayouththeatre.org *Join our Email list*<http://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/d.jsp?llr=n6xae4jab&p=oi&m=1110219710381> *About Tacoma Youth Theatre:* Tacoma Youth Theatre is dedicated to creating high-quality theatre entirely produced by young artists.
