Marathon Center for the Performing Arts presented the 2021 Youtheatre college scholarship to CJ Miller. Scholarship recipients are chosen based on their participation in the Youtheatre program – the depth and years of involvement in the program, as well as identification of skills gained in the program.

A 2021 Findlay High School graduate, CJ is the son of Mark and Krista Miller. He will be attending Ohio Northern University majoring in Musical Theater. CJ began participating in Youtheatre in second grade, performing on stage as well as in the technical crew.

Miller shares the following about the impact Youtheatre has meant to him, “At Youtheatre I could be myself, have confidence in who I was, and have a group of people who supported me for me. I would be nowhere near who I am today without the opportunities and supportive group of people that Youtheatre provided me.”

Over 300 students participate in the Marathon Center for the Performing Art’s Youtheatre program each year in workshops, productions and camps.
