Coming together with a bunch of very different people to achieve one goal, putting on a great show.
What is something you learned from Limelight?
How to really come out of my shell and do what I love.
What does Limelight mean to you?
Limelight was the very first thing that ever showed me what I am truly passionate about. Interacting with people, Limelight gave me the opportunity to do something totally new for me and to fall in love with it. Not to mention inspired me to do many shows after.

I am currently a high school student that works a job and plays soccer. Limelight taught me how to make friends quickly and how to form positive relationships with new people.
What is your advice for other theater artists?
Just go for it, put your heart out on stage. Most of all, ENJOY YOURSELF. The stage is the perfect place for anyone to have fun doing what they love, so show that out there.
