Dear First Act KC Community,
I am incredibly honored to be the new Executive Director for First Act Theatre Arts! In my brief time with the organization, I have already started to feel like a part of the family, and I thank those of you whom I've had the pleasure of meeting for being so kind and welcoming. I look forward to meeting many more of you!
While I might be new to First Act, I grew up in the theatre and started performing in plays and musicals when I was ten years old. The experiences onstage and backstage helped shape me into the adult I am today. Theatre provided a safe space with other kids who were perhaps struggling to find their place in life. I know I certainly was! But when we came together and started the process of putting up a show, palpable magic permeated the cast and crew. And that's why I'm here, to ensure the magic that First Act provides to children and their families continues for years to come.
We still have two wonderful shows left in the current season, Tuck Everlasting, and Cinderella. I hope you all will join us in cheering on all the talented individuals working so hard to share that First Act magic with us. Also, we have a ton of exciting stuff coming up! Camp registration remains open, and audition sign-ups for Twelfth Night, Big Fish, and Footloose are open as well. And don't forget about next season! There's something for everyone in 2023-2024!
Thank you for letting me be a part of this fantastic organization, and please don't hesitate to say hello when you see me at a show.
It's Possible!
Grant
