We are seeking stories from teen performance artists in Orange County, FL, on how the arts have changed their lives for the better. We understand that for many, music, theatre, dance, or other creative arts outlets is a Life Line that brings with it a supportive community that young people may not have often experienced in other areas of their lives. Brings us courage and confidence, friends and accomplishments, or the knowledge that we can be something better.
