Live Arts welcomed my son with open arms

As a volunteer-powered theater in the heart of Charlotesvllle, Live Arts aspires to be a welcoming home for all stories and storytellers. And hams.

Finding connection and confidence at camp

“My son Vlado has always been a ham, but his experience as a Live Arts camper led him to become more self-confident and self-loving,” says Lily Garcia-Walton.

“His time at Live Arts meant being accepted, loved, and valued for who he is.”

Like so many young artists, “Vlado is a spirited, quirky, and creative person who yearns for connection. In typical groups of kids, he can become alienated because of his differences, but the Live Arts community welcomed him with open arms and held up a mirror that showed him he is loveable just as he is.”

Be a part of the next transformation

This is just one story of transformation that defines Live Arts. Your gift this Giving Tuesday paves the way for so many more. It takes $1 million dollars a year to run our nonprofit theater. About half is covered by camp tuition and ticket sales. The rest comes from theater lovers like you.

Help us fully fund our vision of being a “welcoming home for storytellers” like Vlado by making your Giving Tuesday contribution now.
