It’s 4pm in sunny downtown Salinas and 12-year-old Stella Del Real is walking down Main Street, escorted by her mother, Jamie. She just finished school for the day, but is ready for two hours of rehearsals, a few times each week, at ARIEL Theatrical, where for the last 25 years, local children have been acting in shows for others their age, and where Stella has been thriving for the last three years.
