Theatre teaches the value of teamwork. Working together to be part of something bigger can be very rewarding and help achieve a sense of self‐worth. It helps students be constructive instead of destructive. It allows them to lead as well as follow.
Our theatre program is a wonderful way for kids to get comfortable performing and being on stage! It gives students the opportunity to practice dramatic performance, both scripted and improvised, develop characters, persona, and public speaking ability, and work on stagecraft and production.
