With the rehearsal of each semester’s production serving as the main focus, the instructor leads students in theater games, and improvisational and singing exercises designed to develop each child’s performing skills. Team building exercises and interactive games are used to engage children in working together creatively. The instructor assigns each student a role based on both their interest and skill level, and provides support throughout the semester in helping each student develop their character.

Older, more experienced students may be asked to assume mentoring positions for some of the younger students, with everyone given ample opportunity for their own growth and development.

This program runs for up to 24 weeks for the duration of the school year (through April or early May). Registrations will be accepted during the course of the school year if space permits. Please call the office regarding mid-year registration and tuition.

Please note:   Because this program is tied to set showcase dates, we do not schedule make-ups for snow days, teacher sickness or student absences.

Music and theater enhance a child’s self esteem, help one to problemsolve, strengthen one’s listening skills, and encourage cooperation and interaction with others.
