Our Story
My name is Sophia Packiam Plaisance, and I’m the founder of Glo Theater Company.
I grew up performing with Starz Theater Company in Colorado Springs, Colorado which is an extraordinary program that shaped me in more ways than I can count. Through countless rehearsals, shows, and friendships, I learned that the arts have a unique power to foster creativity, build real community, and grow lasting confidence. We were taught to work hard and given the skills to grow in excellence in our craft. But we were also encouraged to use our talents for something bigger than ourselves!
When I moved to California, I was surprised and saddened to find that nothing quite like Starz existed here in South Orange County!
That’s why I started Glo Theater Company.
Glo is a youth theater company dedicated to creating meaningful, life-giving experiences in the performing arts. We focus on three core values: creativity, community, and confidence. Our environment is intentionally designed to be a place where kids can take risks, make friends, grow as performers, and discover the joy of using their gifts to glorify God.
Whether through classes, camps or full season productions, my goal is simple: to help create the same kind of formative, positive experience I had growing up that that points hearts toward the Creator and helps them shine in the way they were made to!
