Lights, Audience, Action ✨ It was a big show last week to cap off the Center Stage Youth Art Camp here at CSU Spur!

Over the course of the week (and another group the week before!), students dove into the foundations of theatre, guided by CSU faculty members, CSU Theatre and Dance students, and special guest artists. They acted, sang, and danced their way through five days of creativity, and by the time the week wrapped up, parents, friends, and the community packed in to watch them shine on stage and celebrate everything they'd accomplished.
