Hannah Stephens – Anderson University Dance Major
“Once upon a time, the doors of the Legacy Theatre creaked open to reveal a little blonde girl with a big dream. Shyly she waltzed through the wings and onto the stage, with a song in her heart and many stories to tell. Little did she know she would find a home under that spotlight. Seeing the world through a kaleidoscope, she learned how to bring stories to life which in return, brought life to others. She found confidence in the woman she soon grew to be through her Savior, the Ultimate Storyteller. As that little girl takes her final bow, she’s now ready to spread her wings and fly to the horizon, where dreams are within reach. Without the family I have found through the Legacy Theatre, I would not be the performer I am today. But more importantly, they have changed the way I see the world, taught my imaginative heart to remain forever young, and modeled the power of loving well and with abandon. A piece of my heart will always live under that spotlight. Thank you.”
