Collin College Farmersille Fall

Local talent takes center stage

by | Apr 15, 2022 | Latest, Life & Style

Amid a global pandemic, as the world faced fears, frustration, and more than a little bit of boredom, Gwen Snyder thought it would be a good idea to start a theater company.

“The arts give you an opportunity outside of your paying job to laugh, to cry, and have a sense of belonging,” said Snyder, a Farmersville resident. “When you are in a theatrical production, it can be hard to get to know someone, but when you’re onstage with other actors, you have a tremendous bond, because you’re helping one another. You want each other to shine.”
