"I like to come to Ensemble rehearsals because it feels like I'm just coming to see my family." -- Ensemble Actor, Age 11
It absolutely warmed my heart to have an Ensemble actor describe our rehearsals as so comforting and familiar that she likened it to being with family. What more could I hope for when creating a space for young people to come together and express themselves freely than to have them also find such kindred spirits?
I remember being a child and struggling at times to fit in or feel wholly seen. Even as an adult, I encounter this in my various spheres--I think we all do.
My (belated) New Year's hope for everyone in 2025 is that each of you find comfort, peace, and belonging in your various communities.
I am honored to provide a "home" for so many of your talented, unique, and wonderful kids!
With love,
Elisabeth
