Valley Youth Theatre streamed their rendition of “They Chose Me,” on Friday evening, a play told from the perspective of kids and teenagers about adoption.
The play tackles several topics that are common for people who are adopted such as foster homes, parental loss, gay adoption, and multi-cultural families, according to the Valley Youth Theatre website. The cast even has some members who are adoptees themselves, which is an important step of inclusion for leadership at the theater.
