## Resource

Ten years in, TPAC’s Spotlight Awards are turning high school theater dreams into reality—giving students like Kaydence Arora and Ronember Quintero the stage, the mentorship, and the confidence to chase Broadway. More than just a competition, this program sends industry pros to judge, offers year-round learning, and even sends winners to New York for national recognition. For these rising stars, it’s not just about trophies—it’s the launchpad to college, careers, and maybe even a Tony. Theater isn’t just their passion; it’s their path forward.
