Education through dance, drama & musical theatre
Inspiring creativity in the hearts and minds of our youth through the learning and experiencing of live dramatic art.

can rely on each other and bring their full selves to the rehearsal room.”

incredibly well as an ensemble and take pride in their work.”

items. Their production shows that the theater program back home
encourages young performers to be brave and focused.”
