The importance of arts in society is undeniable, it communicates across all cultures, tells the stories of the past and present, and inspires minds, both young and old, to do beautiful things. Pablo Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." Local community must recognize the invaluable impression an education rich in the arts can make o
n a young mind. The arts have proven to keep children in school, provide motivation and help children better understand the world in which they live. "You’re never too young to discover the magic of live theatre”
