Our program thrives on word of mouth. That's how we went from 6 actors to 20 in just 4 years, and it's how we get most of our facilitators. Generally, facilitators come to us because they have a friend or loved one already volunteering with us. Case and point, this week's Featured Facilitator, Kaylie. She came to rehearsal with Somer, and had such a good time not only did she decide to stay on, but she brought her fiancee, Beth, to us as well! Let's find out more about...
