Profile
Ghostlight etc's mission sector plans on allowing scholarships and vocation-centered programming, we hope to allow students to gain experience and skill sets that they may not have had access to otherwise. The arts are for everyone, and by operating our nonprofit in a way that is aligned in our mission, we can provide artistic enrichment to members of our community from whom it may be missing. The talent, stories, and voices in our community speak greater volumes than any one theatrical production. The art form of theatre offers a wealth of experiences that allow us to grow in our musicality, creativity, and discipline; among many other things. Over the span of our student's theatrical training, we hope that they can find a greater sense of self confidence and leadership. Our activity is meant to grant opportunities to youth in our community to be able to explore their voices, tell their stories, and foster their talents.
