Each time I have been able to perform on stage in front of an audience is the best! It is so much fun! Saltwater has helped me act and that makes me better for my dream of Broadway! I can work towards my future goals in my own hometown.

The community you have built. It’s so loving and accepting of everyone, no matter their level of skill, backgrounds, or lifestyles. I’ve never felt so accepted and loved as I have here, and I feel that you truly value each and every member of the theatre and care about their futures both in and out of the arts.
