Today’s spotlights are on two outstanding performers that I love to see on stage. GRACE PITTS grew up in the Central Arkansas theatre scene and continues to make waves in the entertainment field. KEIREN MINTER still helps with his community, even though he is busy thriving in school. Both features are captivating to watch, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for them.
