nervous.This is my directing debut with LCT and I have July 24–28
a bit of Impostor Syndrome. I find myself thinking,
am I really good enough? Do I have something to Ages 5–8
offer these kids?The answer, of course, is yes. I can
emphasize the importance of commitment and August 7–11
teamwork. I can provide a safe environment for a
diverse group of kids to express themselves. I can foster Space is limited, register
a lifelong love of theater.These are all things I can and early online or through
have offered and we have this colorful, entertaining
production to show for it. the box office.
I’m proud of the work my cast and team have put
into this show. I had so much fun creating the
world of Agrabah and I hope all of you will have
fun watching our story unfold. Know that you are
important just the way you are and if you ever
doubt yourself, remember what Aladdin says,“I am
who I am, right? And that’s good enough.”We all
have something wonderful to offer.
