Letter | YTN has many benefits


March 5, 2012 · 5:14 PM

My name is Jack Larkin and I am a freshman at MIHS. I am also an actor at Youth Theatre Northwest and have been taking classes and performing in shows at YTN for several years.

Youth Theatre Northwest has been more than just a theater to me. It has been a place that has really enriched my life. When I did my first show at YTN, “Beauty and the Beast,” I did not know anyone in the cast. But I learned to push myself out of my comfort zone and felt like I became a better person because of that experience. Since that first show, I’ve worked on my acting, singing and dancing skills all while continuing to meet new people and having a blast.

Come and see our next production, ‘Urinetown,’ between March 9-25 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

I hope we can work together to keep YTN here. I want more kids to have the same kind of experience I’ve had.

Jack Larkin
