DAVE HORNER: This is our opportunity to develop the artists and craftspeople of tomorrow. They have an opportunity to create a new community for themselves that maybe they wouldn't get that opportunity to do otherwise. You know, not every high school has the ability to have a high school drama program, or maybe they don't have access to community theatre, like I did. And so, having that ability to sort of get together with a bunch of their peers and do what they love to do, I think it's really important.

For the interviews that we did this time around, I was completely impressed by the wardrobe students, the students who brought costumes they built before and portfolios of things. That always amazes me; students who sort of balance what they're trying to get done in their classes with these amazing hobbies. 

There's a lot of students who arrive at theatre as a possible thing that they really love. Maybe they saw a show at Drayton or other places, and I think without having that ability to exercise some of those talents that they have in schools, we need to fill that gap.
