“It’s difficult to find a place she feels comfortable with,” Frost said.
The 12-year-old from Boardman found a home on stage with the Oakland Center for the Arts’ Kids First Theater Initiative, where she has appeared in several shows, including a leading role in its production of “Disney’s The Lion King.”
“It was thrilling to see her be able to do her best and feel great about herself,” her mother said. “I cried, of course, but I’m a mom. Even our friends and family who came to see her in ‘Lion King’ were so excited she had a starring role. Everyone was really proud of her.”
