There is something that happens to a young person when they step in front of a live audience and realize they are not afraid.

That kind of confidence does not appear overnight. It is built over time, through every rehearsal and every moment we pour into these students. What you see on that stage was built long before they ever stepped foot on it. This program is funded in part by the @raleighgov based on recommendation of the @raleigh_arts Commission. Supported by @unitedartswake and the @ncartscouncil, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. #RaleighArts #RaleighArtsPartners #ArtEverywhere @raleigh_arts #UnitedArtsWake #WakeArts #Arts919 #NCArts @ncartscouncil #TheGiftedArts #YouthArts #BlackYouth 1d
