The Springfield Youth Performance Group Foundation (SYPG), an organization spotlighting young talent from the Springfield area, is excited to announce the production of The Tales of Courage & Kindness on June 11 at Sacred-Heart Griffin Auditorium, Springfield.

This performance will feature an empowering collection of stories that will highlight acts of courage and kindness. These beloved tales will be told through small group pieces, trios, and solos set to inspiring music. The artistic team’s focus is on the development of each dancer.
