When you were a child, did you ever participate in a school play, sing in a kids’ chorus, or proudly show your parents your creations from a school art class? Then you know how important it is to have the arts in a child’s life.
Children thrive when they are given the opportunity to be involved in the arts. I’m asking you to help support a nonprofit that provides quality experience in musical theater to children in the New Orleans area.
Each year, Crescent City Lights Youth Theater works with children ages 8 to 17 on three to four theater productions at the NORD Ty Tracy Theatre, continuing the theater legacy of NORD Theatre.
To ensure that this is a magical experience for each child, we need your help!
Your investment in this program will support the hopes of dream of New Orleans children giving them a step further toward the realization of their dreams.
