"VYT gave me the foundation of my theatre training and set me up for a long career that I'm happy to say I'm still building on,” Cartell shared in a press release. “I have lifelong friends and so many fond memories of my years performing on the stages of VYT. To be a part of such an amazing organization that supports and champions the theatrical lives of young people on and off the stage is incredible. I'm living proof that supporting the arts can have a lasting impact in the lives of children."
“An Evening With Nick Cartell & Friends” will also include familiar Valley names like Mark Fearey, Stephanie Likes, Kristen Drathman, and Rusty Ferracane.
