I was very, very fortunate and I went to a school with an amazing performing arts department, and had I not had that outlet, I don’t know what would’ve happened to myself. I don’t know if I would have survived, really. It was really the only thing that I really had to look forward to, was that school play, that community theatre… Without it, I honestly do not know what would have happened. [When] programs get cut, I just fear for those kids ‘cause they’re gonna need some way to express themselves and some way to get all that energy out. Creative people need an outlet, and I just get so scared when school districts cut those things. Who knows what those kids are gonna find to release all that creative energy. I hope it’s healthy ways. I really do. God, that breaks my heart to hear that people are cutting arts programs when it’s so needed, especially these days.
