What We Offer
Our experiences feature a period of classes/rehearsals (typically 6-8 weeks), through which we develop a high-quality theatre show in which every student plays a part.
Throughout that process, our students are led through fun games and challenges that are specifically designed to help them to form healthy connections with each other, and to naturally develop personally and artistically.
We end each experience with a performance for family, friends, and the local community.
Every activity is personalized for each student, allowing each of them to grow at a pace that is comfortable for them.
Each experience is limited to groups of 25 students or less. If we have a larger amount of signups, we'll split the students into equal size groups so that we can maintain a comfortable environment that allows for every student to be an active and equal participant.
Our programming is open to all experience levels, from total beginners to advanced students. Enrollment is open to students ages 8-18. We mix all ages and experience levels together. Students of different ages and backgrounds learn to work together, to support each other, to respect each other. The older and the younger alike all learn from each other. It's great preparation for real life, where they'll have to be able to interact healthily with people of all different ages and backgrounds.
