Our Founder
Tom Moser is the founding Director of Youth @ Performing Arts (YPA)
TOM MOSER
1953-2024
When he retired from YPA in 2012, we created Spotlight Youth Productions, and picked up right where he left off. The opportunity to continue nurturing, expanding, and protecting a community he started in 2006 is such a special gift.
Our current Spotlight Community benefits from that gift every time we meet for rehearsals, classes, and when we inspire our audiences on stage. Tom, Spotlight’s number one fan and supporter, continued to attend every single show since Spotlight began; from Beauty and the Beast in 2013 through Frozen in 2023.
There are countless lives Moser has touched. The ripple effect is impossible to grasp, calculate, or even begin to understand. It is happening all around us every day. He will be missed by the greater YPA/Spotlight community. We will continue to honor him by nurturing the core of this program and inspiring the youth in our community.
Thank you Moser!
We dedicate this program to you and to your legacy as it ripples beyond this community for years and years to come.
