“It’s just amazing how much your mindset changes when you walk into CityArts. Suddenly your priorities completely shift. You don’t have a chance to worry about your personal problems. It becomes all about the kids. There’s something beautiful in that…and something beautiful in having kids that are looking forward to seeing you every week.”
