Spark is a truly fabulous chance for kids to perform at a high level, and gain valuable experience in stage and teamwork. Spark's unique approach--combining university students and adults with youth in a musical theater environment--provides for an experience of rapid growth in theater skills for kids, while creating meaningful relationships with cast members of varying ages. If musical theater is what your child loves, don't miss this rare opportunity!- Spark Parent
