11-Kayleigh Smith: How Theatre Brings Collective Joy to the Community

Today, I sit down with Kayleigh Smith, our local community college’s theatre director, to talk about collective joy and what that means for the theatre community. We look back at her early start in Northeast Alabama Community College productions, at only 10 years old, and how that shaped her and set her up for the road ahead. Smith says the “magic” and encouragement of being on stage can make a huge difference in a participant’s confidence and emotional well-being.
