CPAC fan
EDITOR: Thank you for your article on the Cloverdale Performing Arts Center. I wholeheartedly agree that CPAC has provided many opportunities for our youth to participate in live theater. I give a special tip of my cap to Yavé Guzman who has mentored and nurtured the talents of many students. He has made a concerted effort to get students involved and has also provided support for our Cloverdale High School Drama program.
I have been teaching drama at Cloverdale High School for over six years and it’s very exciting and gratifying to see the positive effects these shows have on the students’ growth, professionalism and confidence. And most importantly, they have a lot of fun. CPAC is truly a treasure for the Cloverdale community, and I encourage you, if you haven’t already done so, to come to a show – whether it’s a play, a musical event, or you if want to exhibit your own talent on an open mic night.
