  • "Every child who wants to pursue theatre needs a place to hone their craft. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for my training at a young age. That is why I know HRT has created a place for kids to train, feel seen and safe in making mistakes, having fun and learning to not only be a better performer, but to be a better person.
