“Spotlight has made a huge difference in our infant theater program. The experiences serve as motivation for our students, as well as an opportunity to celebrate what we do in high school musical theater. Our involvement has helped us engage our community, shore up support for our program and excite our audiences. Thank you to Hennepin Theatre Trust for offering us the opportunity to participate for our first four years; we look forward to many more!”

Amanda Hestwood, Theater Coordinator/Musical Director, East Ridge High School
