PAC Spotlight

The PAC Spotlight shines on St. James Catholic School’s Avery Ditto this month!

What do you want to do when you grow up?
I want to be a musical theatre instructor and would like to continue to perform in musicals.

What have been your most rewarding PAC experiences?
I really enjoyed being in Oklahoma! last summer with YTHC. It was my first experience with Youth Theatre, and I feel that I learned a lot from the show, such as team building and how to go with whatever happens while having a great time with everyone in the cast.

How have you benefited from the PAC?
The PAC has been a place for me to really explore what I love to do and meet different people who also love the same things. At the PAC, I have had a chance to be creative and express who I am and what I like doing.

Why is the PAC important to you?
The PAC’s stage is where I really started to get into musical theatre, and it has led me to where I am now. I love being able to act out through different characters, and those opportunities wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for the PAC and the staff.

Why should the PAC be important to others?
Other people need to know that the PAC is an important place for different people of all ages to inspire them. No matter if you are in the audience or on the stage, the performance will leave you better than when you came for sure!

Do you have any other comments you’d like to share?
I’m forever grateful for all of my past and current directors, and I’m so excited to play Matilda in YTHC’s production of Matilda the Musical this summer!
