Casey Stratton, Performing Arts Director for the Boys & Girls Clubs, joins us in studio to talk about the Performing Arts program that the Clubs offer for students. The Clubs provide instruction for singing, instruments, and other performing arts as a way for students to express themselves creatively in a safe place during the afterschool hours.
